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.


Franklinburrus → franklinburrus

Robot clerk note: I have detected the following problems:
  • The requested username is the same as your current name, aside from the first letter being in lowercase. Due to technical limitations, usernames must start with an uppercase letter. However, you may use the template {{lowercase}} on your user and user talk pages, and change your signature to reflect your preference.
  • The requested username is already registered; see Special:Listusers. Please choose another name that does not appear on that list.
  • There is already a global account registered for Franklinburrus.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 21:00, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Both usernames are the same. - FlightTime (open channel) 22:47, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ohm Charan → Indian Perspective Guy

Robot clerk note: No problems found—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 12:50, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Done @Indian Perspective Guy: - FlightTime (open channel) 15:20, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SaadQureshi7592 → Saad Qureshi

Robot clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:Listusers. However, as this requested account has made no edits, it meets the criteria for being usurped; if you wish to usurp it, please read and follow the process at Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations. If you do not wish to usurp the username, please choose another name to be renamed to. —cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 21:00, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done the username already exists however it meets the criteria for usurpation. You might request this complex rename at WP:CHUU. Regards, ─ Aafī (talk) 09:13, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wdymbydat → StadionK

 Not done Since 90% of your edits have been on Danish Wikipedia, you should apply to be renamed there, at Wikipedia:Anmodning om ændring af brugernavn.

Jogiton → ajiouk

GDSSeo2 → MJB06

محسن بیات → حسن بیانی

 Not done Since all your edits apart from this rename request are on Persian Wikipedia, you should apply for a rename there, or if for some reason that isn't possible then on meta at Steward requests/Username changes. JBW (talk) 22:23, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Xaneqînî → Ilamxan

 Done @Ilamxan: - FlightTime (open channel) 01:30, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SaadQureshi7592 → saadqureshi7592

 Done @Saadqureshi7592: - FlightTime (open channel) 01:36, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

MemeGod27 → Trinity

 Renamer note: This is not a simple rename request as the target username is already registered on etwiki. If you want to usurp this username, you will need to make a usurpation request at Meta. The English Wikipedia usurpation venue only handles requests where the target account has English Wikipedia as its home wiki. – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:27, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done For the archiving bot. - FlightTime (open channel) 15:29, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ChenV99 → BigWalrus23

 Done @BigWalrus23: - FlightTime (open channel) 16:26, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Turchla → sonnereich

 Renamer note: I see that you have provided a reason for this request, but could you please expand on why you want to be renamed to this username? I have noticed that there are many Google search results for the target username, and it matches the name of a hotel. Your explanation would be helpful for us to process this request. – DreamRimmer (talk) 04:39, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is my nickname. Turchla (talk) 09:36, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Renamer note: The last thing you did before requesting this rename was requesting a rename from YEGENC88 to Turchla. Making multiple rename requests both wastes clerks' and renamers' time and also takes up server time, as the servers have to go through and update every edit you have made, every action which has ever been taken on your account, and check for attached accounts on other projects, even if you have never used them. Therefore your request is likely to be declined unless you can give an explanation of why you have made repeated rename requests, without even using your second username at all.

MemeGod27 → WxTrinity

Note: I didn’t read the first request properly, and didn’t check for Global names. This one should be good. Trinity :3 (My talk page, my contributions and my creations!) 17:04, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Done that, WxTrinity. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:26, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DK6771 → KARTIK.IN

Sadustu Tau → Procyon117
