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.


SBM SPGlobal → SBMbiz

 Renamer note: The username appears to be promotional. Use of a company, organization, group, website, or product name as a username is prohibited by the username policy. Please choose another name. @SBM SPGlobal: It still appears to be connected to SBM Global. Please select a username that represents you, not a company. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 00:08, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Vanished user 503810 Your username was changed yesterday. You can change the username, but this is the last change. Are you sure you want to change? Neriah (talk) 06:30, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@MunsonUtica:  Renamer note: This username may classify as an inappropriate username under the username policy Your username must represent you, not a position where you work. Accounts cannot be transferred or used by multiple people, so please select a username that represents you, individually. Please choose another name. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 16:33, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. scire → CuriousExplorer

Robot clerk note: No problems found—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 00:30, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done, Dr. scire.  Renamer note: The username Dr. scire (talk · contribs) has made no contributions to the project aside from this edit, or has only a few minor contributions. Please make your request on the global queue where a renamer with experience on your "home" Wiki project can help you. Cabayi (talk) 06:49, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm, the template says "no contributions" which isn't so, but you're far more active on dewiki than here. Cabayi (talk) 06:50, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

AuthorBooks47 → Stacie Bartolotto

Robot clerk note: No problems found—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 06:00, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done AuthorBooks47.  Renamer note: Are you aware of (and comfortable with) the potential implications associated with using a real name?. You're trying to use your userpage as a self-promotional article. Cabayi (talk) 06:56, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I was not aware, that I can't use my real name. I'm not trying to do a self promotional article, which I didn't realize it. I just want to know, how do I do a biography about myself since I'm the author of Blood in the Sand. I do have 2 books on amazon that are my own writing. Thank you for bring this to my attention. How do I put a picture up, so readers know who I am and what book I'm writing? Thank you. AuthorBooks47 (talk) 17:46, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
