Changing username/Simple
Shortcuts
This page is a forum in which users can request, and global renamers (including stewards) can consider and carry out, requests to rename accounts to usernames that are not yet taken on any Wikimedia project. While global renamers carry out renames, other users (including bots) help by "clerking" the mechanics of this process. If you wish to help as a clerk, please read the linked page carefully.
Instructions
For help 'vanishing' from Wikipedia,
please see courtesy vanishing.

Once you have decided on the name you would like:

  1. Read this page first. You must be aware of, and understand, all of that information before requesting a username change
  2. Check to make sure this username is not already in use. Do this by searching for the name here. If the name appears in the results, even if on another Wikimedia project, it is taken.
  3. Do not create an account under the new name or move/redirect your userpages. We'll do that for you.
  4. Log in with your present username in order to place your request. Renames will not be approved if the requester is not logged in.
  5. Click here to place your request.
    • Add your desired username after NEW=
    • Add a reason for the change after REASON=
    • Do not change anything after CURRENT=
  6. Make sure that you have spelt your desired name correctly, including capitalization and spacing. Save the page. If your request is submitted malformed, please remedy it according to this page.
  7. Check back on this page periodically to answer any questions that may arise regarding your request. Please be patient. It may take a few days for your request to be completed. If you do not answer any questions, your request may be declined due to no response.
  8. Once your request has been completed, please do not remove or change your request. It will be archived automatically by a bot.
  • Requests that do not adhere to these instructions or that are grossly malformed are subject to removal.


Important Notes After you are renamed...
  • Due to technical limitations, usernames may not start with a lowercase letter. However, you may use the template {{lowercase title}} on your user and user talk pages, and change your signature to reflect your preference.
  • Underscores and spaces are considered identical by the MediaWiki software.
  • Use of a company, organization, group, website, or product name as a username is prohibited by the username policy.
  • Please understand the implications of using your real name before requesting a name change to it.
  • ... your name will be changed to the new one in the page history of every page you've edited.
  • ... your userpage and any subpages will be moved to the new name automatically. Please do not attempt to move them yourself.
  • ... links left by your previous signatures will still point to the old userpage; however, a redirect will be left behind to your new userpage.
  • ... your request will be automatically moved to the archives in the interest of transparency.

  • This username is fine, as has been told a few times before; I think the unblocking administrator accidentally directed the user here. –xenotalk 15:25, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Googlewoman → GoogleMan

I'm sure beaurocrats are not as ignorant as the people helping out at account creation but if you're hesitating because Google is a company, kindly remember that it is not "simply names of companies or groups". It is more like WidgetFan87 which is one of the permitted examples given. Besides in usual English slang, Googleman does not imply a representative of Google. Google is not just the name of a company but an entire culture. It is also a verb referring to an activity that is found on most dictionaries. That's the meaning I use it in and it won't be lost on anyone at least after I start making edits Googlewoman (talk) 02:50, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Robot clerk note: There is no global account registered for Googleman, however there are 8 unattached accounts on other wikis. --Legobot (talk) 02:50, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: Please pick a new name. --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 03:45, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Why?--Googlewoman (talk) 04:29, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Because name is taken elsewhere. You can rename to username that is NOT taken on ANY wikimedia wikis. — Revi 04:31, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Fine. I've changed it at the top. Googlewoman (talk) 05:46, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

dbideshe → shamhan87

 Clerk note: Are you aware of (and comfortable with) the potential implications associated with using a real name? — Revi 04:27, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

simonuribe → Sai

Robot clerk note: I have detected the following problems:
  • The requested username is already registered; see Special:Listusers. However, as this requested account has made no edits, it meets the criteria for being usurped; if you wish to usurp it, please read and follow the process at Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations. If you do not wish to usurp the username, please choose another name to be renamed to.
  • There is no global account registered for Sai, however there are 23 unattached accounts on other wikis. --Legobot (talk) 14:20, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: Due to the edits on other wikis, it's best if you simply picked a new name. --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 21:24, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
