Not done: as you have not requested a change, but I suspect you are in the wrong place, as this page is only to discuss improvements to Wikipedia:Changing username XXXX.
If you want to suggest a change, please request this in the form "Please replace XXX with YYY" or "Please add ZZZ between PPP and QQQ".
Given the nature of this page, you will also need to reach consensus before any significant changes are implemented. - Arjayay (talk) 10:58, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

| This edit request to Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple/Front matter has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
I would like the Wikipedia:Changing username/Archives link to be replaced with proper archive links so it's easier to navigate to a specific archive. Replace that link with:
{| class="infobox" style="font-size: 90%; text-align: center;"

- I have no problem with this change but, wouldn't it be better to have the display links increment automatically ? this style has to be done manually, unless I'm missing something. Mlpearc (open channel) 15:49, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
- @Mlpearc: WP:USURP uses this method as well, and yes it does need to be updated manually. However, it doesn't need to be updated nearly as frequently as WP:Changing username/Archives. --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 23:22, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
- We should just write a module to update both of those pages automatically. With a module, the page might need to be purged for the links to update, but that's probably better than the current situation. I'll see if I can work something up later on. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 01:47, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
- I've just actually tested K6ka's code out, and it doesn't work very well on Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple. Because the box floats to the right, it appears underneath the TOC, outside the "Archive" section. I've made a mockup in my sandbox. I'm disabling the edit request until we can come up with something that displays better on that page. Perhaps a box spanning the whole width of the page? — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 00:32, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
- That would be kinda overwhelming. Considering the archive box on Wikipedia:Changing username, and on pages like WP:ANI, etc., isn't a gigantic page-spanning box but a small one tucked away to the right. Using the __TOC__ magic word to manually move the table of contents seems like a much better option. --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 12:25, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Please remove the "Add your current username after CURRENT=" part. With this edit, the "CURRENT" field will automatically be filled in when the user saves the page, so they do not need to manually add in their current username (this was a pain as users were constantly mistyping their username). --I am k6ka Talk to me!
