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.

Current requests

Add new requests to the bottom of the page.

Pegasus1000 → ThePeg

  • Current name: Pegasus1000 (talk contribs)
  • Requested name: ThePeg (change username)
  • Reason: Hi. Sorry to be a nuisance. I asked to be changed to Pegasus1000 a little while ago but it hasn't really worked and is causing confusion among people I'm corrresponding with (also I still come up as ThePeg on edits, making the change redundant). If its not too much bother can I go back? I won't ask to change it again .ThePeg 12:43, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:No template Do not copy paste other's requests. =Nichalp «Talk»= 13:10, 18 February 2007 (UTC) Ok. I'm a little confused as the template above doesn't seem to be anything like what's on the edit page, which was why I tried to follow someone else's format. I'll reapply down below when I've worked out how to do it. Hope that's ok. Thanks ThePeg 18:39, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - sorry, confused again. I reapplied and got the message that it was cleared and all as well but my UserPage is still Pegasus1000. Have I got muddled again? ThePeg 13:28, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There, I've moved it. I hope everything is cleared up; the whole username change process is really absurdly complicated. — Dan | talk 20:01, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
