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.

UP1340 → UPRRNO9914

 Clerk note: Fixed malformed request. Be aware a username change does not reset passwords. -Jéské (Blah v^_^v) 03:05, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: There is a comment on User:UP1340 that your older brother logged into your account and changed the password. Being renamed won't help you with this. Secretlondon (talk) 04:50, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

PReynolds-Wiki → Digi-cs

  • Current name: PReynolds-Wiki (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
  • Requested name: Digi-cs (other projects?) (rename user)
  • Reason: Misunderstood and thought that Digi-cs was blocked becuase of the content I had submitted. I'm new to Wikipedia, so I then created andother name and left a note that Digi-cs had been replaced by PReynolds-Digi-Sign. I've now been told that using a corporate name is not allowed/advised, so I've changed again toe simply PReynolds-Wiki. Please excuse my wasting your time like this. I have learnt my lesson. PReynolds-Wiki (talk) 17:51, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: It doesn't seem like you need the names of any accounts changing, just that you are now going to edit using this account "PReynolds-Wiki" - is that right? WjBscribe 19:20, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AbortionRocksMyWorld → ChocolateChipAbortion

 Not done - blocked. WjBscribe 19:45, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:CentralAuth. Please choose another name which is not already in use. Qst 18:47, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done - name taken. WjBscribe 18:03, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

FAMS → FAMS43

Ovidiu matiu → NEW ovidiu.matiu

 Clerk note: Please provide a reason Alexfusco5 21:58, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This request is malformed: try clicking on the rename link. Clarification is requested. --Deskana (talk) 12:58, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like the request was "NEW ovidiu.matiu", meaning they wanted to request "ovidiu.matiu" and forgot to erase the "NEW". —Random832 17:33, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jgalvin6567 → Johngalvin

 Clerk note: Please provide a reason Alexfusco5 21:57, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Done. People asking for trivial renames need not give a reason. --Deskana (talk) 12:58, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gaikokuzin → MN.errata


Lukechun → Luke Chun

 Clerk note: What is the reasoning for your request? Cheers, LAX 11:35, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Done. People need not give reasons when it's obvious that it's just a trivial rename (in this case, the addition of a space and a slight alteration to capitalisation). --Deskana (talk) 12:56, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
