Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple

Changing username/Simple

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:

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.

Renamer note: According to our records, you have already been renamed yesterday. Please note that username changes take up valuable server resources and are not something to be treated lightly. Are you sure this is the username you would like to be renamed to and could you please explain the need of this immediate rename? ‐‐1997kB (talk) 08:56, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

People have been mistaking me for a spammer and have been denying my edits and page requests due to the actions of another user — Preceding unsigned comment added by Santamoya34 (talk • contribs) 18:29, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Santamoya34: I could not find any edits that were denied because of you being suspected as a spammer or another editor. Your page creations were simply denied because of lack of notability. For further details you can see decline notes on pages. If you still wish to be renamed please wait for considerable time before your next request otherwise I do not see your reasons compelling for another rename. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 03:03, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@ClementineMillington: Usernames including phrases such as "wikipedia", "wikimedia", "wiktionary", "(WMF)", or similar are not allowed. They give the incorrect impression that the account may be officially affiliated with the Wikimedia Foundation or one of its projects. Please choose another one. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 03:03, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
