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.

@Catinthedogs: Why you want to create a new account for Turkish Wikipedia? Just like to let you know that same account can be used across all Wikimedia projects. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 11:48, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Because I think that it will be easier to manage it that way; I would not like to have two separate user pages for one account. Catinthedogs (talk) 11:50, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Catinthedogs: Well in that case you can create userpage at meta and it will be displayed at both projects, also with that you only have to manage one userpage. How's this idea? ‐‐1997kB (talk) 11:57, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I actually don't want my contributions and things that I will do on the two separate wikis to be shown as one account (i. e. having one talk page and one user contributions (I would like my user contributions to be shown separately in the two Wikipedias)). Catinthedogs (talk) 12:04, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well, if you are using an account and check your contributions on a wiki it will show the contributions for that account on that wiki. So if you are using one account for English and Turkish, the English Wikipedia contributions page will only show your contributions on the English Wikipedia. Same with Turkish and all other wikis. There is a page that shows user contribution counts on all wikis for a user (Special:CentralAuth), but that’s different from the usual contributions page (Special:Contributions). As for one talk page, unlike global user pages that can be created on Meta, there is no global talk page. You will have talk pages for separate wikis. If I comment on your talk page on English wikipedia, it won’t show up on Turkish Wikipedia. I hope that explains anything for you.

@Catinthedogs: Sorry this took so long. Just confirming that you still like to be renamed after that comment above? ‐‐1997kB (talk) 11:54, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tusohian → Tuhin

Robot clerk note: There is already a global account registered for Tuhin (primary wiki: idwiki).—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 06:20, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Renamer note: @Tusohian: Please pick a new username, as the one you have requested has already been taken. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 11:57, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ffihannah → ffioona

Robot clerk note: No problems found—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 18:50, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Ffihannah: To clarify, is this a request for courtesy vanishing? What this entails is that we'll rename you to an obscure username (in other words, the username will be different from the target username you chose) with the understanding that you will not be coming back (it is not intended to be reversible). Is this what you wish to do? -★- PlyrStar93 →Message me. ← 15:37, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Renamer note: According to our records, it looks like you have been renamed in the past. Please note that username changes take up valuable server resources and are not something to treat lightly. Are you sure this is the name you would like to be renamed to? ‐‐1997kB (talk) 11:50, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sayeed abdullah → Abdullah Abu Sayeed

Fixed malformed request. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 09:58, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Robot clerk note: No problems found—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 10:00, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Renamer note: Requested username was created after this request, if it's you, no need for rename. Just stop using the old account and use the newer one. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 11:36, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Duke of Nonsense → Jetsam

Robot clerk note: There is already a global account registered for Jetsam (primary wiki: frwiki).—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 21:10, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Request withdrawn I'll think of another name then. Thank you. The Duke 21:12, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. User has withdrawn the request. Some other notes: you have had three renames already and the according to the record, the renames are:
2016-10-29: DoctorYes → MadDogMcCree
2017-10-07: MadDogMcCree → In Memoriam A.H.H.
2018-07-10: In Memoriam A.H.H. → The Duke of Nonsense
In your previous request you mentioned it would be your last rename, and you started to make this request today. At this point I do not feel comfortable to make another rename for your account even if you chose a username that has not been taken, since I doubt if you will keep your promises. -★- PlyrStar93 →Message me. ← 21:19, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
