MarioWiki:Changing username/Archive 11

The wiki software allows bureaucrats to change any user account to a new name, as long as it's not already in-use by someone else.

All edits made by the user will be changed in the edit history to reflect the change. However, this feature has been somewhat abused in the past, so there are some limits:

Each user must wait one year between renames (user rename log). However, changing and then reversing the change is allowed once. For example, going from Alpha to Beta and back to Alpha is allowed, but you would need to wait a year if you want to change to something else. We will not consider requests for names which include symbols, accented letters, foreign alphabets, or other specialized characters which could be an inconvenience to type on a standard QWERTY keyboard. If the name you want is already being used by a short-lived account that has been completely inactive for years, and provided you have a good reason for wanting the name (e.g. it's your established nickname on the forums), you may directly contact a bureaucrat to see if the original account can be renamed, making the name available for you instead. However, if the account in question has made any legitimate mainspace edits (i.e. non-vandalism contributions), it will not be considered. Note that once a rename is completed, your old username is released back into the pool of available usernames and will be obtainable by others (by way of both new user registration and rename). Abandoned usernames which are of major significance to the wiki community may be reserved at the discretion of the wiki staff. The wiki software does not allow usernames to begin with a lowercase letter. If you specify a lowercase first letter, it will be capitalized. All requests go at the bottom of this page, not on the user talk pages of bureaucrats.

Previous renames are archived: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.

Instructions

1. Create a new subsection at the bottom of the page using this syntax: === CurrentName to NewName ===
2. Below this, use {{rename user}} and put both your current and desired names (both case-sensitive), using this format: {{rename user|CurrentName|NewName}}
3. Leave a comment as to why you want the change after the template and then save the page.
4. Bureaucrats will check this page regularly and if accepted can use the "Rename" link on the top-right corner of each section to directly change the username and move all userspace pages.
5. The bureaucrat will say whether the name change is accepted or rejected in each section, and if rejected, why (such as already being given a name change over the preceding 12 months).

GSYoshi to J-Luigi

Rename

Current username	Desired username
GSYoshi (talk | contribs)	J-Luigi (talk | contribs)
Approved

My trademark around the internet is having my name begin with J-, so I think I'd like to bring that here. Also you might have heard that I like Luigi a lot lately, so I'm going with J-Luigi.

Also first request off this archive, so that's notable I guess. J-Luigi (talk) 19:44, 16 June 2017 (EDT)

I'm very sorry, but that username is already registered and has made legitimate edits. You'll have to choose another name.

Shokora (talk · edits) 17:48, 10 July 2017 (EDT)

I see. Should I suggest that other name right here, or do I create a new section for it? Koopas lost shell 07:32, 11 July 2017 (EDT)

Best create a new section.

I feel like my username isn't that appropriate and people may think I am a Super Mario profile, so I request this name change so I can have a more casual username, not to mention this name actually matches most of my other usernames on other websites. --Supermario85 (talk) 23:03, 13 September 2017 (PDT)

"Yosh Strider" is another deprecated internet name I don't use anymore. Plus naming myself after one of my characters is a lot less likely to become outdated :P wow it's Kiryu (^T_C) 21:18, 18 September 2017 (EDT)

Approved

Been looking for a new username and this one is surprisingly not taken.

It was taken, but it's made no edits and hasn't been active for more than two years so it's yours now. Please note that you can't request another rename until March 19, 2019. Mario JC 01:19, 19 March 2018 (EDT)

@Mario jc: Isn't the correct date February 13, 2019 or earlier? From what I read on the policy page, two successful name changes can be made within a one-year period, not merely two requests for a name change. ^(T|C) 15:44, 2 April 2018 (EDT)

"Each user must wait one year between renames." The two-renames-per-year rule was changed in June last year. Mario JC 22:58, 2 April 2018 (EDT)

Cash In is a name that I've been using online for the last year or so. Using it here would not only make things more consistent and easier to remember, but it would also make it easier for users to recognise me outside the wiki. Golden Yoshi 22:17, 11 July 2018 (EDT)
