Simple username changes

Shortcuts

This page hosts simple requests for a username change across the Wikimedia network. Requests are processed by stewards and global renamers.

Instructions

Read Wikipedia:Changing username carefully. You must be aware of and understand all the implications of changing your username. Specifically:
- Your name will be changed to the new one in the page history of every page you've edited, and in all log entries.
- Your user pages, account preferences, and edits will be moved to the new name. Please do not create a new account or attempt to move them yourself.
- Links left by your previous signatures will still point to the old userpage; however, a redirect will be created pointing to your new userpage.
- Understand that using your real name as your username may put you at risk of harassment.
Read the username policy and ensure your new name does not violate it. Usernames must not:
- be inappropriate, profane, or offensive
- contain libelous, contentious, or non-public information
- be misleading by impersonating other users or implying that you have authority
- be the name of a company, organization, group; or imply that the account is shared with multiple people
- contain emoji, emoticons, or non-language symbols
- contain the # < > [ ] | { } / @ : = characters, among other restrictions
Check that your new username is not already in use by searching for it on Special:CentralAuth. If the name is registered, even on another Wikimedia project, it is taken.
If the target name hasn't made any edits to any Wikimedia project, you may request usurpation at meta:Steward requests/Username changes.
Log in with your current username. Requests will not be approved if the requester is not logged in.
Place your request here.
- Add your desired username after NEW=.
- Add a reason for the change after REASON=. Requests without a valid reason will not be approved.
- Do not change anything else.
Select Publish changes.
Check back on this page periodically to answer any inquiries regarding your request. Consider watching the page so you can monitor updates. Requests may be closed if there are unresolved queries.

Requests that do not follow these instructions or that are grossly malformed are subject to removal.

- Do you think its appropriate that you should rename to another username that has a random sequence of numbers in it? Caulde 09:50, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Bureaucrat note:This looks like a date of birth following a real name. This is not a good idea in terms of protecting your personal details, although we have no policy against it. Please confirm you really want to plaster your name and date of birth for every scammer to find? --Dweller (talk) 13:10, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SoxBot has evaluated this request, and a problem(s) was found. Target username exists, and it has edits, deleted edits, and/or log edits. SoxBot VI (talk) 10:03, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Clerk note: Do you operate the Alexis Humphreys (talk · contribs) account? It has only recently become active, and it is co-incidental that it resumed editing today after one year. If so, I believe your request is to merge edits - unfortunately, we can't do that due to the MediaWiki software which has been implemented here. Caulde 11:03, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
