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.

Current requests

Lukeduval → Starkid1

 Bureaucrat note: I also note that the article Luke Duval is WP:PRODed. I would wait to see the outcome of that before taking action here. =Nichalp «Talk»= 05:28, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: Survived PROD. —Anonymous DissidentTalk 08:12, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: Starkid1 was created yesterday. Post a confirmation here with the Starkid1 account so we know it was you that created it. Also, do you still want us to rename Lukeduval to Starkid1, which would require usurping Starkids1, then renaming Lukeduval to Starkid1 (the new Starkid1)? — Rlevse • Talk • 20:27, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: Update seems all these cases of accounts already being created were an assault by the vandal Grawp on CHU. If you still want the requested account, let us know, but keep in mind you may not want an account name tainted by Grawp. Please advise. See [1] — Rlevse • Talk • 23:43, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

LeBaron1 → Alinganster

 Bureaucrat note: Moved from WP:CHU/SUL. EVula // talk // ☯ // 15:42, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: Your requested username is very similar to an existing username, Alingana. Is there another name you'd be comfortable with? EVula // talk // ☯ // 15:45, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

dcb0sr → haron C Richardson - Senior Tutor

 Bureaucrat note: To avoid future renames, I'd like you to state that you understand the dangers of using your real name (as witnessed by another rename request just a bit further down), and that putting temporary titles (such as "Senior Tutor") in usernames generally means you'll want it changed later. Would "Haron C Richardson" work for you? EVula // talk // ☯ // 15:10, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Just to check the bureaucrats are aware, I'm pretty sure that the user wants to be Sharon C Richardson - the missing S in the title seems to be a typo. TSP (talk) 20:17, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mbruno42 → MachineFist

 Bureaucrat note: MachineFist was created yesterday. Post a confirmation here with the MachineFist account so we know it was you that created it. Also, do you still want us to rename Mbruno42 to MachineFist, which would require usurping MachineFist, then renaming Mbruno42 to MachineFist (the new MachineFist)? — Rlevse • Talk • 20:30, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: Update seems all these cases of accounts already being created were an assault by the vandal Grawp on CHU. If you still want the requested account, let us know, but keep in mind you may not want an account name tainted by Grawp. Please advise. See [2] — Rlevse • Talk • 23:43, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
What ill do you think could come of using a name that was registered by this group? As of now I am leaning towards using it anyway, unless there's a really good reason not to. Thanks. Mbruno42 (talk) 08:03, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Done EVula // talk // ☯ // 16:13, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Makechange123 → Mehrso

 Bureaucrat note: Mehrso was created yesterday. Post a confirmation here with the Merhso account so we know it was you that created it. Also, do you still want us to rename Makechange123 to Mehrso, which would require usurping Mehrso, then renaming Makechange123 to Mehros (the new Mehrso)? — Rlevse • Talk • 20:32, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: Update seems all these cases of accounts already being created were an assault by the vandal Grawp on CHU. If you still want the requested account, let us know, but keep in mind you may not want an account name tainted by Grawp. Please advise. See [3] — Rlevse • Talk • 23:44, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No, I didnt create those accounts. Can you rename my username (Makechange123) to Rhemdoos? Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Makechange123 (talk • contribs) 15:22, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Done EVula // talk // ☯ // 16:16, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Bureaucrat note: Jtmacleod was created today. Post a confirmation here with the Jtmacleod account so we know it was you that created it. Also, do you still want us to rename Prickos to Jtmacleod, which would require usurping Jtmacleod, then renaming Prickos to Jtmacleod2 (the new Jtmacleod2)? — Rlevse • Talk • 22:52, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: Update seems all these cases of accounts already being created were an assault by the vandal Grawp on CHU.

For your information: Grawp is one of the best known vandals on Wikipedia, and his name is well-recognised. —Anonymous DissidentTalk 08:04, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I know. — Rlevse • Talk • 16:57, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Roccowebb → Rocco Webb

 Bureaucrat note: Roccowebb does not exist, just keep using Rocco Webb. — Rlevse • Talk • 15:22, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Rlevse, that was a mistake on the user's part. The current username is RoccoWebb, but they mispelled it as Roccowebb. Are you sure this should be declined? Soxπed93(blag) 22:22, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How exactly does this break the unified login? Does the en.wikipedia username get detached from the rest and I have to change all the other names? --Ianweller (talk) 18:22, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
