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.

In answer to Bureaucrat, only one person will use the new user-name to conform to your policy. Please advise if this is sufficient to make the change? If so, how is this activated and how will I be notified? On the COI issue, I fully understand and support the need to provide independent evidence for all statements entered and will endeavour to do this. In my defence, I'm new to this process. If I don't, I've no problem with you telling me again! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Welsh Nationalism Foundation (talk • contribs) 18:23, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note: I've taken the liberty of going out and checking the contributions of Welsh Nationalism Foundation (talk · contribs) in an attempt to check the COI concerns. I see no evidence of the user editing against COI guidelines, so I don't think this should be a major concern (however the editor is encouraged to keep those guidelines in mind while editing). --Shirik (talk) 20:22, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There was a User:SZ, but only active for one day on one article five years ago Special:Contributions/SZ, so that shouldn't foster any confusion.

- Clerk note: Do you plan to change your username every year then? If so, how about using a username that can stay the same? So Why 23:45, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - I see what you mean, yeah. Is there any way I could 'take over' the User:Cipher account since it's unused, or have my name changed to that, then? I generally go by Cipher all over the place these days. Cipher ^(Talk) 00:25, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - Probably. 'Cipher' exists on frwiki and ruwiki, but it hasn't edited in years at either of those. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 00:36, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      - Okay, cool, how do I go about taking over that account then? Do I just change my username request? Cipher ^(Talk) 00:53, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
