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.



Seanmcdh → Seanmcdh_old

Robot clerk note: No problems found—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 22:00, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: Hey, @Seanmcdh: If you are just interested in retiring, an extended vacation, or are considering a clean start in the future, placing {{retired}} on your user and/or talk page(s) and abandoning the account is the better option. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 06:07, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Karthi gy → Aachi Global School

Robot clerk note: No problems found—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 05:30, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: The username appears to be promotional. Use of a company, organization, group, website, or product name as a username is prohibited by the username policy. Please choose another name. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 06:02, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reason: We are not promoting the site and we didnt use any promotional contents in the wikipedia page. We want our school information to be published in wikipedia like other schools did. So kindly take this into consideration and change our username as 'Aachi Global School' — Preceding unsigned comment added by Karthi gy (talk • contribs) 06:40, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Karthi gy: Usernames and articles are two different things. Articles can have any names, but a username must represents an individual and the username you requested represents an school which is against the username policy. So please request a name which represents you as an individual not the school or you can also go with current username you have as it doesn't violates username policy. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 08:45, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Seems that this is just a misunderstanding of what a username and an article name is. As the requested username is against the username policy, I am marking this request as  Not done. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 14:50, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk note: According to our records, you have already been renamed before in the past. Please note that username changes take up valuable server resources and are not something to be treated lightly.

 Renamer note: Accounts cannot be deleted. We can rename accounts to a random username as part of a courtesy vanishing initiative, but these are only granted for established users with productive edits. This account unfortunately is not one of these accounts. In addition, Wikipedia does not have a minimum age requirement, but we do ask that all young editors read this page first. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 12:00, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
