This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 62.201.142.29 (talk) at 16:31, 1 January 2010 (→Anard → Anard1). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.


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.

No, I am on only two Wikipedias: Croatian and English, I abjure of other Wikipedias (German, French, Serbian, Serbo-Croatian). I had more names an Serbian Wikipedia, no advantage any.

I'd dispute this closure. The user was reblocked for editing after he made this request. It's not his fault that this request was ignored for 3 days. He stated on his talk page that he did not know he was supposed to not edit. I would recommend that this request be done, and the user unblocked.

Taylorswift14 → TSwiftfan88

  • Reason: may be mistaken for Taylor Swift herself, as on my other accounts with the same name, so i am requesting to change it to something else.

TaylorSwift 14(,.'* talk*'.,) 03:51, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Clerk note: I don't see how she could have accounts with the same name on this project. This account does have an SUL and would need to be renamed on each of the respective other projects. I believe this user is referring to things like Facebook and Twitter when speaking of "other accounts with the same name". delirious & lost ☯ ~hugs~ 09:28, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Bureaucrat note: Hmm. I feel the need to ask you to expound. Is the harassment to which you refer online or not? If it is online, is there any chance that you're misconstruing the warnings ([1],[2],[3],[4]) which were dispensed to you for your editorial conduct (or what appears to be more an editorial misunderstanding)? —Anonymous DissidentTalk 19:37, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
