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.


SkynetKami → Rising Rain

@SkynetKami: Looks like you are confused between usernames and article names. Well in order to create article it's not necessary to have username as article name. You can create article with the name you want using article wizard. Also if you looking for a account rename please choose another username since it's the same as the article you are working. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 14:47, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@1997kB: As stated in the request, the intention is to change my username from SkynetKami to Rising Rain, due to the user page title being set to the name of the the user, which to my knowledge is unalterable. I was not aware that it is against Wikipedia policy to set one's username as the title of one's user page. Regardless, this bears no relevance as any article I create independent of my user page on the intended topic is sure to violate Wikipedia policy and face immediate deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SkynetKami (talk • contribs) 23:18, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Renamer note: @SkynetKami: Your username may not be promotional per the username policy. Since you are writing about Rising Rain, it is not appropriate to have a username which implies a connection. Please select another username that represents you, personally, and not any bands or singers to which you may be connected. Additionally, I have moved the content from your userpage to a user sandbox page (User:SkynetKami/Rising Rain), where you are free to work on it at your leisure. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 00:49, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Kiran Podar → Podar Education Network

Bongane Tebo →

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:Offline 19:50, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Renamer note: This request appears to be blank, missing syntax or otherwise malformed. Please remedy this according to the instructions at the top of the page. Also, no reason is given for the request. Please provide a reason. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 20:32, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sqr360 → sqr361

 Renamer note: @Sqr360: Just like to point out that due to technical limitations, first letter of username always remains capital, taking that to account you still want to be renamed? ‐‐1997kB (talk) 06:55, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ehbgergfiujdf → Brian You're Blocked!

Robot clerk note: No problems found—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 03:10, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Ehbgergfiujdf: Please choose another username, because requested one doesn't seems to be appropriate as it indicates that you are blocked, while in actual you are not. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 16:15, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Ehbgergfiujdf: Please login with your account and confirm that above comment is made by you or not. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 04:01, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@1997kB: It's just a joke from the Family Guy episode Dog Bites Bear where Brian kills Stewie's toy bear Rupert and that he unfollows Brian in social media and gets former basketball player Dikembe Mutombo to come into the room and say to Brian, "Brian You are Blocked!" in which he then hits Brian into the floor and does an evil deep laugh. The username I wanted was just a reference to that particular Family Guy episode. That's all! Ehbgergfiujdf (talk) 04:28, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Phoenix → Wand3rvogel

 Renamer note: The chosen username is too similar to existing usernames: Wandervogel and Wandervögel. Please choose another one. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 04:35, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Renamer note: Is this a request for courtesy vanishing—meaning you intend never to edit the English Wikipedia again—or are you just wanting to abandon this account? Please note that returning after exercising courtesy vanishing may be met with automatic relinking of the new account with the old one. If you are just interested in retiring, an extended vacation, or are considering a clean start in the future, placing {{retired}} on your user and/or talk page(s) and abandoning the account is the better option. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 17:32, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@K6ka: Please, simply rename. I wish not participate! Заебали! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Phoenix (talk • contribs) 20:35, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Phoenix, is that a 'yes' to courtesy vanishing, then? I need to be sure because this is not intended to be a reversible procedure. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 20:52, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@K6ka: Yes, this is a request to courtesy vanishing. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Phoenix (talk • contribs) 20:17, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
