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.

@ErasmusvonRotterdam43: Why are you requesting to change your username to be practically the same as a globally locked account? —DoRD (talk)​ 14:19, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment: Not comfortable with edits such as this: Special:Diff/895812702. Meanwhile if the user decides to leave due to the history of conflicts, then there is a possibility the user is seeking to obfuscate their conduct issue and evade scrutiny (and I don't see the need to rename if the user is leaving anyways). I don't mind someone else taking a look at this. -★- PlyrStar93 →Message me. ← 20:26, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Robot clerk note: No problems found—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 13:00, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Yixingyamazaki: Your account has been renamed recently (2019-02-08: Kim021JongdaeZYX → Yixingyamazaki) Please be advised that renames are not taken lightly, and global renames can take valuable server resource. Meanwhile, the username you chose (STRAYSHEEP) is too similar to an existing user Straysheep, so we cannot rename you to the one you chose. Do you understand that you should choose your username carefully, and it will be less likely for you to be granted further renames? Please choose a different username if you wish to proceed (you can modify this request). -★- PlyrStar93 →Message me. ← 13:36, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
