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.

Are you sure you want it spelt that way? Cabayi (talk) 08:20, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well I want it spelled California's Secret Abu Saeed ibn binti Hameed (talk) 22:33, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Amended request as specified. Cabayi (talk) 15:10, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done Abu Saeed ibn binti Hameed. The chosen username is too similar to an existing username or it used to be username of someone else that got renamed: California's Secret. Cabayi (talk) 15:12, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That was also me, I think. I tried doing this a while ago, but nothing ever happened. I never got a reply Abu Saeed ibn binti Hameed (talk) 05:54, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Abu Saeed ibn binti Hameed, this is the only request I can see which was made from this account. As you have two accounts please be aware of the consequences of using both - WP:SOCK. There are legitimate uses, but it's very easy to make a mistake and find yourself using them contrary to the rules. I'd recommend you pick one account and stick to it, whichever one it is.

Darius195, it sounds like you want a WP:CLEANSTART rather than a rename. Cabayi (talk) 15:35, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
