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.

Requests to "usurp" an existing username should be made at Misplaced Pages:Changing username/Usurpations; straightforward requests may use Special:GlobalRenameRequest.

Instructions

For help 'vanishing' from Misplaced Pages, please see courtesy vanishing.

Once you have decided on the name you would like:

Read this page first. You must be aware of, and understand, all of that information before requesting a username change
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.
Do not create an account under the new name or move/redirect your userpages. We'll do that for you.
Log in with your present username in order to place your request. Renames will not be approved if the requester is not logged in.
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=
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.
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.
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.

Do not be surprised if you suddenly cannot log in to your old account; this merely indicates that you should log in under your new user name as the request has been fulfilled.

Current requests

Please put new requests at the end of this section. Fulfilled requests will be moved immediately to the current archive.

Please note that renaming users puts a large load on the database. Please do not request a rename unless it is necessary. If you have only a few edits, see the alternatives above.

Preface your request with a heading, thus: === Target username ===
Sign your name at the end with four tildes: ~~~~

User:Crusading composer

I would like to change my user name to User:Count Of The Saxon Shore. I would like to change my percieved image on Misplaced Pages.Crusading composer 08:25, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

User:e_goldobin

I would like to be renamed to "gold" Edward 10:53, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

User:twrigley

I'd like to change my user name to User:EmptySet, please. The Misplaced Pages environment is just too harsh for me, and I no longer believe this is a worthwhile effort. I'd like my name disassociated from the project as much as possible before I leave. thanks Ted 04:54, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Account exists. Please choose another name. =Nichalp «Talk»= 09:21, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

sorry, misunderstood the result I got. how about Anapraxic? Ted 12:48, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Done. =Nichalp «Talk»= 13:26, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

One last question: I'd just as soon erase or delete the talk page for the old account (sorry, I had assumed that would happen automatically), but now that things are handled and the account is blocked, I'm guessing I can't? not a huge issue, either way, but I'd prefer to have it deled. if you can tell me how to do that, I'd appreciate it. Ted 18:33, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

We usually don't delete the talk pages of user accounts. =Nichalp «Talk»= 10:56, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

ok, thanks. :-) Ted 16:09, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

User:Voyager_ch

Please change my name to Voyager. I already use this name at Commons, Mediawiki and German wikipedia. Thanks. --Voyager 08:34, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

User:Ambuj.Saxena

Please change my name to Ambuj.Saxena from Ambuj.saxena. Inconsistant capitalization doesn't look good. Ambuj Saxena (talk) 11:06, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

User:SmittyDoodle

Please change my username from SmittyDoodle to mooseboy0518. I realized that I do not want any reference to my last name in my username, nor do I want my same username that I use on other sites also used on this site. Thanks!

User:Lord Spade

I would like to request to change my name, alias, and identity on Misplaced Pages from User:Lord Spade to User:Earendil . My current user name Lord Spade is connected to other web forum activity I don’t wish to associate with. I hope you understand. I would be highly appreciated of any assistance in this area. I created my account here 2 years ago, and I have since established an alias on the Web as 'Earendil' which I have strong sentimental ties to. I have registered this name for other WikiMedia projects. I wish to usurp the current account because no edits are recorded for this user. I post this request here because the request list to usurp existing usernames is no longer functional. I would value any assistance and attention towards this matter. --Earendil 04:50, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

User:Thorri

Hi. Please, I'd like to change my name to Tonym since Tony is my real name and I'd like to be known for it, and not Thorri. Thank you. --TonyM 09:10, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

User:Wikipedian13

Hello. If you were to be so kind I would greatly appreciate it if my Misplaced Pages ID could be changed to Lynyrd Salapare. Wikipedian13 seems a bit distant and vague to me and I would please prefer something more personal. Thanks much!~El Salapare~ 08:14, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

User:HolyRomanEmperor

Greetings. I think that my current version of my nick spreads a rather bad opinion of me. It's regarding the "Holy" part. Perhaps someone could advice me on the issue? I am thinking of changing to Foyle, for instance. Also, I would want that done after my Nomination for Adminship fails/succeeds. Thanks in advance! --HolyRomanEmperor 16:18, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

User:Inspectorpanther

Please change my username to Logic. Thank you. Inspectorpanther 19:38, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

user:mxdxcxnx

Please rename to user:spirit. Thanks! mxdxcxnx 23:33, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

User:Ambush Commander

I benevolently request a renaming to User:Edward Z. Yang, in order to attribute edits to my real name. Thank you. — Ambush Commander 03:34, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

If possible, it would be nice if the change was affected globally on all accounts listed on my user page. Verify by fact that they link back to en.wikipedia account. — Edward Z. Yang 03:41, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

user:deadcujo

I am requesting my username be changed to Mordea so that it will contain my name and not my Internet alias. dc 06:33, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Requests from users with over 20000 edits

These requests will not currently be fulfilled; but may be in the future. See also m:Changing username for other complicated requests

Add such requests here: /requests above 20000

Requests to usurp an existing account with no edits

Occasionally, someone will request to be renamed to an account that exists (has been registered) but has not made any edits. While there is precedent for making such changes, as yet there are no guidelines for handling such requests.

Add such requests here: /request to usurp.
