Simple username changes

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


Instructions
  1. 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.
  2. Read the username policy and ensure your new name does not violate it. Usernames must not:
  3. 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.
  4. Log in with your current username. Requests will not be approved if the requester is not logged in.
  5. 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.
  6. Select Publish changes.
  7. 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.

For stewards, global renamers, and clerks

Only stewards and global renamers have the authority to approve or decline requests. Requests are automatically clerked by a bot, but occasionally human intervention is required, particularly for malformed requests. If you would like to help out with clerking, please see Wikipedia:Changing username/Assistance.

wiki offer the option of others user cant see my email...but just by my username they can search me in their emails.... i try a couple of things before doing this request...like in Wikipedia:Clean start page(doesnt work because my username, userpage, talkpage...still will be there!!!) because of what i read : " The two most common reasons for wanting a clean start is recognizing past mistakes, and to avoid harassment. The old account must be clearly discontinued" later in the same article it says "To reduce the chance of misunderstandings, you should note on the user page of the old account (while logged in under that account) that it is inactive, by using the {{retired}} tag or leaving some other message." so for what ive read the userpage,talkpage and username will be there but discontinued and i havent read yet that others user wont find a discotinued userpage or talkpage I cant delete my account so please change my username...even do my account has just reacently been created...and have no edits...

    • I created this account with the purpose of helping anonymously**

NOBODY IS PERFECT WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES Thanks for the *arrangement* so i can be set and ready to edit here and collaborate. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Clean_start><https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:FAQ#How_do_I_change_my_username.2Fdelete_my_account.3F> +}{+ +}{+ 16:38, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

You are probably better of just not using this account (or the target name you were trying to rename to) and instead creating a new account. We can then block this account for you. The reason I suggest this is the rename process leaves behind a log linking the two accounts together. ·addshore· talk to me! 17:02, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
