{{renameuser2| 1=Mcghiever | 2=McGhiever }}
* Datestamp: 03:53, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
* Reason: I am registered at Commons under McGhiever; unified login has been forcing me to sign out and sign back in when switching between WM projects.

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.


Requests

Palakkappillilachayan → നസ്രാണി

Robot clerk note: There is already a global account registered for നസ്രാണി. --Legobot (talk) 04:00, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That is my own account. That is why I want to rename my present account to നസ്രാണി.Palakkappillilachayan (talk) 09:42, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: Verification requested. Please log in to your home wiki and make an edit at your talk page certifying this request. Then post a diff here. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 03:18, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk note:  Not done No response. Mlpearc (powwow) 02:15, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

LilBeatOfficial → Lil Beat

Robot clerk note: No problems found --Legobot (talk) 21:00, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment by involved editor Davidwr: I requested (diff) that he change his name due to implied shared use and promotionalism. There is a musical artist named "Lil Beat" which this editor is writing an article about in AFC. Unless this editor is actually the artist himself, this username would violate the username policy regarding impersonation. I am requesting that this request only be granted if there is confirmation through WP:OTRS or a similar mechanism that this person really is the artist. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 21:19, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: I agree with davidwr, although if this is the artist, the apparent age of the artist could pose identification problems (not sure). Mlpearc (powwow) 21:30, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I missed that part. If he is a public figure (I'm not saying that he is, just if he is) and his parent or legal representative is involved in the OTRS process then I think we as editors can handle it, otherwise he should pick a neutral name. Even if he is a public figure I would highly recommend that he pick a neutral name. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 21:34, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That was my conclusion also. Mlpearc (powwow) 21:52, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: See Lil Beat (2nd request) below. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 23:24, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ont → Onur

Robot clerk note: I have detected the following problems:
  • The requested username is already registered; see Special:Listusers. However, as this requested account has made no edits, it meets the criteria for being usurped; if you wish to usurp it, please read and follow the process at Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations. If you do not wish to usurp the username, please choose another name to be renamed to.
  • There is no global account registered for Onur, however there are 13 unattached accounts on other wikis. --Legobot (talk) 00:00, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done, request at WP:CHU/U. Wizardman 03:44, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Macableton → Funk N.

Suburban Express President → Arri416

Robot clerk note: No problems found --Legobot (talk) 03:00, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Admin note User:Suburban express was blocked with an unspecified {{uw-ublock}} template, and another editor's comment made him think that it was purely on WP:ROLE grounds, so he registered this account in line with the template's instructions. That led to a separate block on {{uw-spamublock}} grounds, so at the user's request I unblocked him to permit this request, commenting that I expected nobody to object to "Arri416".
