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

D WArlock → D Warlock

I opened this account using D_Warlock except that I spelled it this way by accident. D_WArlock. How can I change it to what was intended ? D_Warlock (small letter a)

Thank you,

dick

 Bureaucrat note: You application was incorrectly formatted. I believe I've modified it per your request. Can you confirm that this is the username change you're looking for please? The Rambling Man (talk) 19:04, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki.snarkle → Snarkle.mcp

Ikathoo → John S FitzGerald

 Bureaucrat note: User Ikathoo has been migrated to the unified login system. Renaming it will cause the local user to be detached from the global one. Let us know if this is ok. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:47, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do note that you can re-unify. —Anonymous DissidentTalk 10:07, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Urigeva [in Wikiversity] → UriGeva [in Wikiversity]

Notes:

  • The texts in the parentheses are not part of the names and should not effect the name change;
  • This change should effect only my Wikiversity username, not my Wikipedia username.

Thank you

Uri Geva

Greenapplefestival → Green Apple Festival

 Clerk note: Moved this here from WP:USURP, original post here. Useight (talk) 16:36, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done please see our username policy with regard to using group or organisational names at WP:U#Wikipedia:U#Company/group names The Rambling Man (talk) 16:42, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cutiemanda1 → Manda.Lee


Ivans 369 → Skippy

My current user name is Ivans369.

It is prohibited by the user guidelelines, since it can be traced back to an article I would like to submit.

I would like to change it to "Skippy". Ivans369 (talk) 20:38, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • SoxBot has evaluated this request, and renaming appears to be possible. SoxBot VI (talk) 20:39, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Bureaucrat note: - please fill in the request correctly to be sure we all understand exactly what you want. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:41, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Clerk note: - fixed. bibliomaniac15 00:57, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • The user name is already taken, with one edit to a sandbox in 2004. Although there is no SUL account, it looks like there are several users on other wikis with that name. bibliomaniac15 01:00, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Humanitix_bro → PlayON 10694

 Clerk note: Fixed malformed request, but a rename to spurn vandalism is rather like using a sledgehammer to pound a nail into a birdhouse. You might want to look into page protection instead. -Jéské (v^_^v Bodging WP edit by edit) 03:01, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: changing usernames will not prevent your new account pages from being vandalised. Please confirm that you'd like this name change to go ahead. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:06, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
