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: Please note that you should not use the name of another person as your username unless it is your own real name, as impersonating other people is not permitted. See Username policy § Real names. If this isn't your name, please consider choosing a different name to edit under. —⁠k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 18:40, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes my real name is Redi Treni 223.118.50.92 (talk) 11:46, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You'll need to log in and confirm here in order to verify before we can proceed with a rename.

Please be sure to review our guidelines around writing an autobiography on Wikipedia (hint: it's strongly discouraged), and remember that Wikipedia only covers notable subjects. If you don't meet the notability requirements for Wikipedia, an article about yourself might not be accepted. —⁠k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 18:39, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Jetwindy → Jetz

Current name: Jetwindy (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)

Datestamp: 17:44, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
Reason: I want my username to be shortened and I also think Jetz is a cool name (personally) Jetwindy (talk) 17:44, 24 May 2025 (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 Jetz (primary wiki: enwiki).—^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 17:50, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
can we do the username: Acva? I think so because of the reasons from (Jetwindy to Jetz) Jetwindy (talk) 21:13, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Not done Your last response is unclear. Both Jetz and Acva are already registered. If you are interested in usurping either, please submit a usurpation request at Meta:Steward requests/Username changes. – DreamRimmer ■ 06:07, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Barr Theo → Ronaldo7Mil

Current name: Barr Theo (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
Requested name: Ronaldo7Mil (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google)
Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
AntiSpoof: antispoof check
For global renamer: rename user
Datestamp: 16:59, 25 May 2025 (UTC)
Reason: @FlightTime:, changing it to Ronaldo7M would be overriding, so here's a new one. According to you, Ronaldo7M isn’t “too similar”, so Ronaldo7Mil is even less so. Barr Theo (talk) 16:59, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Robot clerk note: No problems found—^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 17:00, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Barr Theo: Again, I will not override Cabayi and now per this discussion. - FlightTime (open channel) 18:42, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@FlightTime: Bro, this is not overriding! The request that was refused by Cabayi was Ronaldo7M. The one I made now is Ronaldo7Mil. There is a difference, right??

Furthermore, you literally said "I have no problem with the rename, I don't think it's too similar", and this one is even less similar. So, what's the issue here?

Listen, if I had more time, I would ask you "what was the argument from Cabayi that changed your mind?", so that I could then counter-argument, but I really need this username change to happen today (25/05/25), so I will have to settle with my real name for now.

@FlightTime:, if Ronaldo7Mil also doesn't work either, then please, change my name to Luis7M. Barr Theo (talk) 19:59, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Barr Theo: Look, I'm not holding up a rename for you, just get some else to do it, I'm out. - FlightTime (open channel) 20:39, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done superseded below. – DreamRimmer ■ 06:10, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Datestamp: 19:54, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
Reason: I would like to change my username to comply with Wikipedia's username policy. My current name includes the word Editor, which may be interpreted as implying an official role. The new username, AlexSebastian_Wiki, reflects my identity without implying any authority. Thank you. AlexanderSebastian Editor (talk) 19:54, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Robot clerk note: No problems found—^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 20:00, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: User:FlightTime told me on Talk:Tabasco sauce to change my username. I was not told why, but another editor suggested that it's too close to the brand I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. I somewhat disagree, but I am willing to change it. Hopefully, this new one is distinct enough. Still-Can't-Believe-It's-Not-Butter (talk) 23:56, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
