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.

 Renamer note: Usernames that imply shared access or simply the names of organisations are not permitted. However, usernames are acceptable if they contain a company or group name but are clearly intended to denote an individual person, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", "WidgetFan87", etc. Additionally an Wikipedia account should not be shared between two or more people, you can ask your colleagues to create an account for them, instead of sharing this one. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 16:44, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Renamer note: According to our records, it appears that you have been renamed before. Please note that username changes take up valuable server resources and are not something to be treated lightly. In general, we usually limit the number of renames a user can have to two in order to prevent abuse. Are you sure you want to proceed with this rename? —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 20:33, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You were renamed from SharabSalam just one month ago. Is there a reason why you want to be renamed back to that username again? —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 20:37, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
K6ka Yes; I made a mistake, I went to the Arabic Wikipedia and asked to change my name, I thought my name would only be changed in the Arabic Wikipedia not globally but it was changed globally. Now I am seeing a lot of editors in English Wikipedia failing to mention me so that I get notified so I decided to return my old username which was SharabSalam. Thanks--SharabSalam (talk) 21:12, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
علاء, pinging you to make sure this rename would not cause issues on ar.wiki. TonyBallioni (talk) 06:38, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks @TonyBallioni:. No issue, as (شرعب)=(Sharab) and (السلام)=(Salam). The user previous request reason: " تغير لغة الاسم الى اللغة العربية"="I want to change my username to Arabic Language" --Alaa :)..! 08:42, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
