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.

Current requests

Sabina F → ΑΩ

 Bureaucrat note: - IMHO usernames in en.wikipedia should use only letters in the Latin alphabet. There may be another bureaucrat who feels otherwise and will make your change request. Kingturtle (talk) 12:03, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I beg to differ; see User:Α. -Jéské (v^_^v X of Swords) 20:55, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Current name: PATRICIA MARTELLOTTI (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
  • Requested name: Martellotti (other projects?) (rename user)
  • Reason: Reason for requested renaming, because my Patricia Martellotti page has been disabled due to misunderstandings and although i have tried to reach for help to explain and respectful requested another chance to create a wikipedia page, i can't seem to do it on the Patricia Martellotti page (i would like to keep the name, if someone can help me to use it again properly. please help.

Point taken. This was just a name I've used much more often in other places. If it is a problem, I'll find another name to use. --Whatocean (talk) 22:18, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Will someone give me 'Ye' or 'Nay' already? -Whatocean (talk) 15:23, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I wanna be the SD → Surf Dog

Well, you have not made any edits since that request, so I'm not sure if the request will be granted based on the lack of use of this account. Otherwise, the request is fine. seresin ( ¡? ) 01:13, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The account Surf Dog isn't registered, you can make a request at WP:CHU at any time --Chris 09:37, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Done (moved from WP:CHU/U). WjBscribe 18:09, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

CeGe_Usurpation → CeGe

 Clerk note: The name that you have entered into the template is CeGe which doesn't exsist however you left the usurp note on User_talk:Cege, am I correct in assuming that you want to usurp Cege not CeGe? --Chris 09:35, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
More or less. As I expressed, it is not possible, to create a "CeGe" for "Cege" exists, and "CeGe" is too similar. So, if you have a better idea, how I can get "CeGe", please let me know. As far, as I concern, the only way would be, to usurp "Cege" and then to change it to "CeGe" (with Wikipedia:Changing_username). And maybe this can be done in one step?! -CeGe Usurpation (talk) 13:09, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Done - it is possible to rename straight to an account name that is similar to an existing one(moved from WP:CHU/U). WjBscribe 18:22, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
