- Wandering Green User, a rename will simply reassign all your "bad things" and userspace dreck to your new username. It won't clear your slate. Cabayi (talk) 16:55, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
- Cabayi When I say it will clear my slate, I mean that on a personal/symbolic level. I know that it won't literally clear my slate. ~Wandering Green User~✨ 〠 18:12, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

- Kalmwinter, Renamer note: Is this a request for courtesy vanishing—meaning you intend never to edit the English Wikipedia again—or are you just wanting to abandon this account? Please note that returning after exercising courtesy vanishing may be met with automatic relinking of the new account with the old one. If you are just interested in retiring, an extended vacation, or are considering a clean start in the future, placing {{retired}} on your user and/or talk page(s) and abandoning the account is the better option.

- Not done Smak1285. The + & = characters are meaningful in HTML & in wiki templates. Having them in your username would make the wiki's infrastructure seem very uncooperative. Compare the simple template used to ping users

- [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]]
- It would be a pain for you, and for anyone trying to communicate with you. Choose another name. Cabayi (talk) 09:00, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
