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.

 Not done The Telugu Wikipedia user has the better claim to the global account. Maxim(talk) 13:35, 1 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Tenmei → Enkyo

  • Current name: Tenmei (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
  • Requested name: Enkyo (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google)
  • Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
  • For global renamer: rename user
  • Datestamp: 17:55, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Reason: This is a formal attempt to step back from bullying and argument. I can do nothing about the fact that others have made Tenmei into a kind of "red flag" -- see here; but I can move sideways. The new name wards off something bad; and it looks towards a prolonged period of peaceful work. Enkyō (延慶) is a Japanese era name (年号,, nengō,, lit. "year name") for the period from October 1308 through April 1311. It means "becoming prolonged." The process of changing username brings an explicit focus to the difficulty of meaningful change. Gandhi recognized that "fear has its use"; but it is not good for me nor for our Wikipedia project. I fear that the name Tenmei is a magnet which attracts the wrong sort of attention. This is a strategic withdrawal from conflict and problems which don't need to be problems.

    In 2008, a leading voice in WikiProjectJapan advised "In order to accomplish anything here, you're going to have to learn to work with people who may not be immediately or apparently amiable, or who may be outright caustic in all their dealings with everyone." In this, I bend like a reed in a way that is specific and plain. Tenmei (talk) 17:55, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Robot clerk note: There is already a global account registered for Enkyo. --Chris G Bot 3 (talk) 18:00, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: There are only 7 edits in 2009 which were made by simple:User:Enkyo here; and I have already started the process of usurping the username in that wiki. --Tenmei (talk) 19:04, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: This will be on-hold until Simple acts on that request. If/when Simple handles that request, I'll do this one. MBisanz talk 19:54, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
