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.

Robot clerk note: I have detected the following problems:

Robot clerk note: No problems found—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 16:40, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: The username appears to be promotional. Use of a company, organization, group, website, or product name as a username is prohibited by the username policy. Please choose another name. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 16:45, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cherryblossom8642 →

Robot clerk note: 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. —cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 14:00, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Cherryblossom8642: Accounts cannot be deleted, but you can simply stop using your account or scramble the password for it. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 15:17, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Duke of Nonsense → Ye shall know the truth

Robot clerk note: No problems found—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 16:10, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
 Renamer note: According to our records (1, 2, 3), you have already been renamed thrice before in the past. Please note that username changes take up valuable server resources and are not something to be treated lightly. And as per Global rename policy — The new name is carefully selected. Frivolous, repeated, or inappropriate requests will be declined, and from your reason (I have grown to hate my new name) it looks like a frivolous request to me. So are you sure this is the username you would like to be renamed to and will be last time? ‐‐1997kB (talk) 16:35, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I apologise for renaming this often, and yes, this will be the last renaming request. Thanks for renaming me. I have thought this one though. And, I'm happy with this name. The Duke of NonsenseWhat is necessary for thee? 18:53, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done @The Duke of Nonsense: After discussing with fellow renamers, I have decided to decline this request. Requesting rename too often without any solid reason is against the renaming policy. Frequent renames are confusing for other editors too. Generally we request editors to wait 6 months between two renaming if there's no serious need. And in your case looks like there's no serious need and as you were renamed last month, I'll request you to wait for 6 months. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 06:41, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@1997kB: I don't know if this count as a serious need, and I should of said this in the original request, but another reason is that there is a higher change of people taking me seriously with the new name. My current name, makes that unlikely. I know this was entirely my fault when renaming last month. Thanks. The Duke of NonsenseWhat is necessary for thee? 08:34, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@The Duke of Nonsense: In that case you are welcomed to request after 6 months. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 08:59, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
