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.

For help 'vanishing' from Wikipedia, please see courtesy vanishing.

Renamer note: @Jack.mattocks: Unless there is a good reason for doing otherwise, you should request a change of username on your home Wiki (Slovenian Wikipedia) or, if that is not possible, at meta::Steward requests/Username changes. Although there is a significant history of renamers accepting rename requests from editors from other wikis, doing so has sometimes caused problems, and renamers have been asked not to do so.

Reason: want to include the first name only. Monjuralam.1 (talk) 14:16, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Robot clerk note: I have detected the following problems:

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.
There is already a global account registered for Monjur (primary wiki: enwiki).—^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 14:20, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Monjuralam.1, the requested username is already taken, and you will need to choose a new one. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 14:23, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Datestamp: 14:12, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
Reason: Uniformity for all of my online account names. In my current username, there is no "." separating "weex" and "barters". Also, the letter "W" is in upper case. I would like to have that in lower case. Weexbarters (talk) 14:12, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Renamer note: @Weexbarters: Because of technical restrictions first letter in username always remains uppercase. Do you still want to be renamed? ‐‐1997kB (talk) 14:17, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
