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.

 Bureaucrat 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. @WeddingHarmony: Acalamari 08:52, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

auewald → Vkasdkjfhskjhdscmx

Robot clerk note: No problems found --Legobot (talk) 16:20, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: @Auewald: This account doesn't have to be renamed; you can just not use it if you've created another account. Acalamari 16:48, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The reason the name needs to be changed is that when I did a search for the correct spelling - Auenwald (with an N, which is the account I created once I noticed the mistake (using a different email address), Wikipedia returned Auewald, without the N as the result. It did NOT say "were you looking for Auewald?", it actually gave Auewald as the result. Auenwald (with N) is the account I will be using permanently and I want to make sure that searches lead to that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Auewald (talk • contribs) 17:02, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It was a very strange behavior which looked like Wikipedia wasn't distinguishing between Auewald and Auenwald. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Auewald (talk • contribs) 17:04, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

When I put "Auenwald" into the search, it took me to Auenwald; putting "Aenwald" in the search asked me if I meant "Auenwald". When I typed in "User:Auenwald", it took me to User:Auenwald, which is your non-yet-created userpage link. Acalamari 17:55, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

MSquaredPR → MicheleMichaels

Robot clerk note: No problems found --Legobot (talk) 18:10, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: Are you aware of (and comfortable with) the potential implications associated with using a real name? @MSquaredPR: --k6ka (talk | contribs) 21:43, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User:CooP-Africa → CooP-Africa (Cycling out of Poverty)

Robot clerk note: I have detected the following problems:
  • The username User:CooP-Africa does not exist.
  • The request was made by CooP-Africa, not User:CooP-Africa; please login as User:CooP-Africa to request a name change. --Legobot (talk) 14:30, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

CooP-Africa → CooP-Africa

Robot clerk note: The username you have requested is the same as your current name. --Legobot (talk) 14:40, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: You are confusing a username with an article name, which are two different things. You created your page in the user namespace, which is used to develop an article before it is released into the main namespace. Also, you're currently blocked because your username is promotional. You're better off creating a new account, one that you as an individual (not as a group) will use. You cannot use a company name as your username.@CooP-Africa: --k6ka (talk | contribs) 18:35, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
