MarioWiki:Changing username/Archive 8

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. 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).

Requests

Kibago to Hitokage

Rename

Current username	Desired username
Kibago (talk | contribs)	Hitokage (talk | contribs)
Approved

I wanted a name change to "Charmander" a couple months ago, but it didn't work out because that name is already in use. "Kibago" was kind of a quickfix solution, but it's rather dumb. People will think me a weirdo for being named Kibago when I have a charmander avatar, rather than naturally coming to the conclusion that I am a weirdo by listening to what I say. That is unacceptable. - Gabumon^(talk) 20:35, 3 June 2013 (EDT)

Done. Your next rename can't be until October 27, 2013. - Walkazo 20:47, 3 June 2013 (EDT)

Well, having my username all in capitals and using my real name has become a little cliche now. Also, my Nintendo Network ID is Jackpot_Jordan, so I'd like to start adopting this gaming name. JackpotJordan 02:54, 6 October 2013 (EDT)

Rename

Current username	Desired username
SuperFlameGuy (talk | contribs)	«MMII» (talk | contribs)
Rejected

(twothousandtwo) I felt like it. Also the year I was born. R O Y

Names shouldn't have weird symbols in them: the typing hassle gets in the way of functionality and convenience. Ditch the "«" and "»" and you can have the change to plain "MMII", however. Just remember that it'll be your second name change in a year, and you won't be allowed to have another one until July 24, 2014, so choose wisely. - Walkazo 23:40, 14 November 2013 (EST)

LeftyGreenMario to Mario

Rename

Current username	Desired username
LeftyGreenMario (talk | contribs)	Mario (talk | contribs)
Approved

Already taken, yes, but it's a nice, simple name of my favorite character. Also meshes well with my twin sister's name Baby Luigi (talk), also a simple name based on her favorite character. The used name has no contributions whatsoever, and it seems to me that it was created just for the sake of it. If not, you may rename me to Mahdio instead. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 17:29, 1 January 2014 (EST)

Merci beaucoup, Glowsquid! Je suis très contente! No, really, I didn't know it would follow through. ^^ It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 18:36, 1 January 2014 (EST)

Luigitime to Luigi

Rename

Current username	Desired username
Luigitime (talk | contribs)	Luigi (talk | contribs)
Approved

I am requesting to change my username, luigitime, to Luigi. The reason why I am requesting this change is because I like Luigi, as he is my favorite character. Personally, I feel as if I relate to Luigi. I am not sure if the name is already taken however, so kindly let me know.

The name was taken by a troll who was blocked after making one edit back in 2008, but it's not like they need (or deserve) it anymore, so I renamed the old account and gave the name to you instead. - Walkazo 18:34, 5 January 2014 (EST)

WooftheChomp to Chain Chomp

Rename

Current username	Desired username

Rejected

i do not know why i did not think of this earlier but since the acount with this name has not done any thing in almost 5 years, im sure it's no big deal. that is the reason i could not create this name when i first came on. WooftheChomp (talk) 19:55, 5 January 2014 (EST)

That account has made edits, unlike previous accounts that were junked to make way for a rename, and thrashing accounts that made legitimate contributions is not a precedent I want to set. The hyphenated "Chain-Chomp" is free, though. --Glowsquid (talk) 20:11, 5 January 2014 (EST)
