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

Seraphim Whipp → Seraphim

 Bureaucrat note: For a sake of a clean audit, please log in as Seraphim and confirm that you own that account. =Nichalp «Talk»= 16:04, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hello :) *Waves at Nichalp*. Seraphim♥ 16:06, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, for the next five minutes, till I give you the green signal, please do not edit Wikipedia. =Nichalp «Talk»= 16:09, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Done I got the following errors. You would be in a better position to figure out which page goes where.
The following error messages related to pages under Seraphim:
  • The page User:Seraphim Whipp already exists and cannot be automatically overwritten.
  • The page User:Seraphim Whipp/huggle.css already exists and cannot be automatically overwritten.
  • The page User:Seraphim Whipp/monobook.js already exists and cannot be automatically overwritten.
  • The page User talk:Seraphim Whipp already exists and cannot be automatically overwritten.
The following error messages related to pages temporarily stored in the subpages of User:Seraphim (temp) (when moving from Seraphim (temp) to Seraphim). Please delete these pages once you're done.
  • The page User:Seraphim already exists and cannot be automatically overwritten.
  • The page User:Seraphim/huggle.css already exists and cannot be automatically overwritten.
  • The page User:Seraphim/monobook.js already exists and cannot be automatically overwritten.
  • The page User talk:Seraphim already exists and cannot be automatically overwritten.

While renaming, I had to break your SUL for both accounts, you would have to reenable it. =Nichalp «Talk»= 16:25, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks ever so much. I'll take care of everything. Seraphim♥ 16:38, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Davebrownsound → Godfather666

 Bureaucrat note: I can easily see some people getting upset by the 666 aspect of your username; is there something else you'd prefer to have yourself renamed to? EVula // talk // ☯ // 17:29, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, Godfather669 seems good as well, can I have this name instead? Davebrownsound (talk) 13:12, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Indef'ed this account; account rename no longer necessary. seicer | talk | contribs 16:22, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Not done per seicer's indef block of the requester. EVula // talk // ☯ // 00:46, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

MuisjeNL → MuisjeRC2

MuisjeNL (talk) 21:20, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]


  • SoxBot has evaluated this request, and a problem(s) was found. Soxbot VI analyzed this request and found a problem. Although the requested username exists, the user has not made any contributions to Wikipedia. Therefore, you can place a request to usurp the username at WP:USURP. SoxBot VI (talk) 19:00, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Not done See the Bot comment, above. You can either request the usurp or choose another name. --Dweller (talk) 13:10, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Azluminosity → T88o9hl

  •  Clerk note: Requesting user has no edits outside the renaming process. -Jéské Couriano (v^_^v) 19:39, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: Also, seemingly random strings of characters are typically reserved for editors exercising their right to vanish. Useight (talk) 20:12, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Not done Just register a new username. EVula // talk // ☯ // 00:47, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
