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

Austin.mp → Michael Patrick Austin

IRAL0001 → Alex Johns

 Clerk note: Me too. I would like other thoughts from other 'crats and clerks.----Boeing7107isdelicious|Sprich mit meine Piloten 03:34, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I am aware of this. Perhaps it can be AJ or Ajohns instead?

Make up your mind please. Are you withdrawing this request, requesting for a new one below?----Boeing7107isdelicious|Sprich mit meine Piloten 13:45, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Soilassociation → Jack Hunter

Cheers! Soilassociation (talk) 11:27, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:CentralAuth. Please choose another name which is not already in use. --AJCham 12:31, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done, requesting user blocked. (Does the bot listen to non-crat {{notdone}}'s?) –Juliancolton | Talk 23:36, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't differentiate, but I think it's usually best form to wait for a bureaucrat to use the template. Waiting a bit longer is no trouble and people might question a result if a non-bureaucrat is dispensing it. In this case, it's clear that it's a notdone, but form is form. —Anonymous DissidentTalk 23:53, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: Are you sure it doesn't differentiate? I would've thought this rejected request would be archived by now. Or is the bot overlooking this on account of the {{tl}}'d notdone above? AJCham 04:53, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nethzah → Benson David

Amberitm → Ambervaid

 Bureaucrat note: Are you aware of (and comfortable with) the potential implications associated with using a real name?

Sici → Faith.

 Bureaucrat note: User:Jd1234 already exists (registered in Feb 2007) but has no edits so a usurpation may be in order. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:37, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Clerk note: Still seems to have "PBM" in it. Could you please choose a new name that doesn't have anything to do with the Pacific Badminton Management? –Juliancolton | Talk 15:18, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
