Revision as of 17:05, 24 May 2007
The user name users choose for themselves is no longer set in stone. On request, bureaucrats can change user account settings and article histories such that all previous edits of a given user are attributed to the new name using Special:Renameuser. Note: You must make the request from the account you want renamed; anonymous requests (except users whose usernames begin with a lowercase letter and therefore cannot log in) are ignored for security reasons.
Contents |
Requesting a change
To change your user name, please make your request on this page. Please follow the procedure carefully or your request will not be fulfilled.
Instructions
- Check if the new name you want does not exist (Special:Listusers). Do not create an account under the new name. (If you already created the new account, don't worry. We can do some stuff and fix it, but it's still recommended that you don't.)
- Sign in with the account that you want renamed.
- Of course, this is not possible if your account has a lowercase first letter. If you can't log in, then skip this step.
- Add your request to the bottom of the section below. Use the following template:
{{renameuser|Old username|New username}} - Once your request is dealt with, all edits from your old account will be reattributed to your new account.
- Move and redirect your user page and talk page to the new name if it has not already been done.
Current requests
Please use this template for new requests: {{renameuser|Old username|New username}}
Moonea
Could you change my name to "Moonea"? I know the name is created; it's my old account, and I never entered a password and was logged out. I also forgot my password to that account. Thank you in advance! 12:15, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Dramus
Could you change all edits with the name 'Dramus' to 'TDSDramus'? I'm the same person, but I forgot my password for the Dramus account, and did not have an E-Mail address linked to the Dramus account. Thanks. Lifing for love, drinking for free. 04:20, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm not 100% sure if I made an account; anyways, it used lowercase first. Change from jordoex to Jordo_EX. Thanks!(Same thing as with wierdguy)
- There is no username "jordoex", here, or at the fanstuff, or the forum... "Jordo_EX" is avaliable, feel free to just register it. phlip TC 06:25, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
