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: Usernames that imply shared access or simply the names of organisations are not permitted. However, usernames are acceptable if they contain a company or group name but are clearly intended to denote an individual person, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", "WidgetFan87", etc. Additionally an Wikipedia account should not be shared between two or more people, you can ask your colleagues to create an account for them, instead of sharing this one. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 16:44, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Renamer note: According to our records, it appears that you have been renamed before. Please note that username changes take up valuable server resources and are not something to be treated lightly. In general, we usually limit the number of renames a user can have to two in order to prevent abuse. Are you sure you want to proceed with this rename? —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 20:33, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You were renamed from SharabSalam just one month ago. Is there a reason why you want to be renamed back to that username again? —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 20:37, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

K6ka Yes; I made a mistake, I went to the Arabic Wikipedia and asked to change my name, I thought my name would only be changed in the Arabic Wikipedia not globally but it was changed globally. Now I am seeing a lot of editors in English Wikipedia failing to mention me so that I get notified so I decided to return my old username which was SharabSalam. Thanks--SharabSalam (talk) 21:12, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
