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. If you choose to do so, you must acknowledge the risks in your request.
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
- start with ~2, as this is reserved for temporary accounts
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.

Temporary until CHUed as Zig Zag → Zig Zag

Reason: Securing potential impersonation doppelganger accounts. An edited Cut&Paste from earlier related request as being the same reason: "I wish to secure account names which might be used to impersonate me. User:ZigZagStudios was my first active user account, which eventually I change to synced to my General Online Persona of User:Love Robin (with-space), which will remain my serious editing account. I then re-made ZigZagStudios to secure it against impersonations (having made over 200 edits with it); also, I was granted permission to use the "fursona" of the BlackRabbit Furry Character "Zig Zag", so I'm rather protective of the name(s). So while I (have secured) potential doppelganger accounts of "Love Robin" (User:LoveRobin(no-space), User:Loverobin(no-space, lower-'r'), I would also like to secure doppels of my first account. There will be transparency as I shall openly link accounts. Chances are I may at times use ZigZag for non-editing "casual" researching. Please and Thank you." I shall also be going after "Zig Zag" (space, cap-z) and "Zig zag" (space, small-z). I realize there are MANY unsernames starting with variations of zigzag, but aside from my original, after these I will satisfied.
