MarioWiki:Changing username/Archive 5

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:

Users must be registered for at least three months to be eligible for a rename. Exceptions may be granted for minor tweaks to correct registration errors. 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 regular 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

Plumber to Don JakeBastille

Template:Renameuser renaming Plumber to {D}on JakeBastille. Don't move things, it's so annoying... Reason: In celebration of Bastille Day and 222 years of liberty. Like Peachycakes 3.14, I have become more identified with the name JakeBastille (aim, etc.) to the point that I overshadow the original (and largely forgotten) user, but I added the {D}on as a qualifier just en cases.

Oh, don't move things.

Rejected. Changed username twice this year.

¢oincoll€ctor

DiddyKongfan020899 to DKPetey99

Reason: I want to include Petey in my name and make it shorter.

Diddy Kong vs Bowser Jr. to DK and Diddy Kong vs Bowser and Bowser Jr.

Reason: I like an username having all four characters. If it is too long, make it DK and Diddy vs Bowser and Jr. If that is too long as well, just make it DK vs Bowser.

Totodile3456 to Explosive Pants Modifier

Reason: I don't like Pokemon as much as I used to before, so I got bored of my old username and now I've decided to use one that I have on a few other places.

Yoshiwaker47 to Yoshiwaker

Reason: I don't feel like having numbers anymore.

HenryClaylogan to Ultramariologan

Reason: Whenever I log in, I write "Ultramariologan" and I keep on forgetting about "HenryClaylogan".

DKC2 King Liam to Kaptain K. Rool

Reason: Because Sir Grodus and Booster have usernames named after a Video Game character so I guess I would like to change my username to Kaptain K. Rool seeing that I am his #1 fan! :D. Also I am a bit bored over this username...

Pokémon Trainer Mario to Vince Pikachu

I want my internet name to be atleast a little bit alike.

Rejected because you've had two renames within the past year. - 2257^(Talk) 00:36, 26 March 2011 (EDT)

For The Win to XoBlack Veil BridesXo

My favorite band is called Black Veil Brides. I could have said XoAndy SixXo, but that would have looked weird. Anyways, I love this band and hope some people will listen to some of their songs cause they're a really great band(screamo in most songs, but still awesome).

Ilove marioandtoad to ilovemarioandtoad

Reason: I am really having a hard time trying to figure out where the space is when i log in. I want to have no spaces in my username.

Approved, but the first letter of your username has to be capitalized due to technical restrictions. - 2257^(Talk) 00:36, 26 March 2011 (EDT)

PinkCharizard33 to Kirby-140

Template:Renameuser Reason: PinkCharizard33 looks ugly, and I often use Kirby-140 anyway.

Coolmario900 to Awesomemario900

Reason: I don't really like Coolmario900 anymore and I think Awesomemario900 is a lot better.

Supergoomba to It's-a-me-Mario!

Reason: Don't like Goombas anymore. Plus there is another named SuperGoomba.

Iggykoopa to Goomba's Shoe15

Reason: After playing Super Mario Bros. 3 i decided that my favorite power up was the Goomba's Shoe and i would like my User name to Reflect that

Ugozima to Aiko

Reason: I've done away with the "Ugozima" name and am only keeping it on places where I can't change my username.

TehDman to Groden

Reason: I do not go by this name anymore, and I have not for awhile.

Mackywacky00 to Player 1.1

Reason: I don't want to use the same username on more than 2 sites.

Lucas777123 to ShellMario

Reason: I'm a fan of Mario, but with this username (Lucas777123), I can not prove. When I login, I can not remember the username.

Yoshisean to CharizardFlame

Yeah, so im a new user and want to change my username ALREADY!

Farvin111 to Baconator

Reason: Name was originally created on name generator, and I've used it for quite a lot of sites and I don't like it anymore. New name reflects something I love: bacon!

Pokémon Trainer Mario to Vincent

Rejected because you've had two renames within the past year. - 2257^(Talk) 16:37, 26 May 2011 (EDT)

When can I have a namechange again? PTM 18:14, 27 May 2011 (EDT)

Much shorter name.

Tom The Atum to Bowser Jr And Tom The Atum

Template:Renameuser Reason:I want to keep my user name, but I want to add something related to Mario, as this is the Mario Wiki, and I love Bowser Jr., so I will change my name to that. Does this mean I still log in as Tom The Atum?

I don't think so. Superfiremario (talk)

No, you won't. You'll log in under your new name. Xzelion (talk)

It's-a-me-Mario! to Mario vs Luigi

Template:Renameuser Reason: This is an EPIC username and I think it is better than It's-a-me-Mario!

Basurao Pokabu Waribiaru Zeburaika Zuruguu A to Turtwig A

Template:Renameuser I've gotten over new generation, and I'd like something similar to log into when I edit the wiki. Turtwig A (talk | contribs) 22:36, 13 June 2011 (EDT)

BowserTime to Red Snifit

Template:Renameuser Reason: I don't like BowserTime anymore and I'm into Shy Guys now.

Gonzalo moya to MarioFanDan

Reason: I want to be more anonymous.

Rickboey to Toad'slol

Template:Renameuser Reason for change: I want a name that has something to do with Mario.

Daisywoo66 to Flame Lotus

Template:Renameuser Reason for change: My favourite flower is the lotus and I have a short temper.

Ilovemarioandtoad to Toad's Pikmin Army

Template:Renameuser Reason: I started playing Pikmin 2 and now, I like Pikmin, but I still love Toad too. I would like to have the Pikmin in my user name somewhere. Also, Ilovemarioandtoad was sort of a rushed name when I started, so I want a better name.

Remember that this is your last name change you can request for the rest of this year.

¢oincoll€ctor

BoygeyDude to BoygeyMario

Template:Renameuser Reason: There's nothing wrong with BoygeyDude, I just think BoygeyMario sounds cooler. BoygeyPumpkineer

Nicke8 to Dry-Petey

I made the name 'nicke8' when I was 8. i'm not 8 any more, and my name has nothing to do with the Mario series. Dry-Petey represents the facts that i like Petey Piranha and Dry bones, and if Bowser can be turned 'Dry' then maybe petey can too.

Mathew10 to Mariofan457

This is the only website where my login has my first name. So I sometimes have a tendency to accidently type in "Mario" instead of "Mathew" since most of my logins have Mario in it. I also like it better.

Jblittle to Robokoopa

reason: I want it to match my picture.

Supremo78 to S78

Ah, my second name change.

You need to provide a reason for why you want the change... - Walkazo 17:31, 27 August 2011 (EDT)

I want to see how abbrieviating my name will be. Also, I like S78. Supremo

Thanks. All done. Just remember: you can't get another namechange until after January 27, 2012. - Walkazo 19:20, 27 August 2011 (EDT)

'K. Thank you Supremo

WikiofSmash

WikiofSmash sounds tacky and stupid. WikiofSmash "I love the smell of facepalm in the morning." 20:14, 29 August 2011 (EDT)

Steverocks27 to supermariorules

Reason: I may be a fan of Mario, but I can't prove it with this username.

I'm afraid another user already has the name "supermariorules", so you'll have to choose something else. - Walkazo 18:37, 31 August 2011 (EDT)

Steverocks27 to superluigirules

Template:Renameuser Reason: I need a new username.

Mariofan7654 to BanzaiBill

Reason: I don't want to have numbers anymore, I dont want to be some plain old Mario fan and I like Banzai Bills.

Mario Bros.! to Mario & Luigi

On second thought I do want to be renamed. PikaSamus (talk)

Ummm... Hello...? PikaSamus (talk)

Anyone here...? PikaSamus (talk)

HELLO?!?!?!?!?!?!?! PikaSamus (talk)

There's no need to nag: we saw your request from the start, but we've been busy, and 24 hours is not an unreasonably long wait anyway. Be patient next time: we get to the requests as soon as we have a chance. - Walkazo 23:10, 24 September 2011 (EDT)

Dr.Wario to Nintendo64Fan

Dr. Wario doesn't seem better than Dr.Wario to me, so how about this? Dr.Wario ''User #19809'' 20:01, 24 September 2011 (EDT)

Done. Just remember, since there's only two namechanges allowed per year, you can't change your name again until August 30, 2012. - Walkazo 23:12, 24 September 2011 (EDT)

Goomblob to Ultra Fuzzy

"Goomblob" is a nonsensical and fool name. Bro Hammer (Talk • Cont) 18:59, 25 September 2011 (EDT)

Goomba's Shoe15 to Raven

Raven is my favorite wrestler Goomba's Shoe15 (talk)

Sorry, there's already an account named "Raven" on the wiki. You'll have to pick something else or stick with this name. Remember, this will be your second rename this year, and you will not be able to change it again until April 10, 2012, so choose carefully. - Walkazo 18:09, 26 September 2011 (EDT)

K Goomba's Shoe15 (talk)

Goomba's Shoe15 to Raven Effect

Template:Renameuser Name of Raven's finisher and Raven is my favorite wrestler Goomba's Shoe15 (talk)

Mariofan457 to Mario777

I'm not sure why, but this is more fitting.

Done. This was your second rename in a year, so you cannot request another namechange until August 2, 2012. - Walkazo 23:37, 3 October 2011 (EDT)

Mas0n to Mason

Special request made on chat, since a long-dead account had the name "Mason" and had to be renamed so that the name could be given to this user, who is known as "Mason" everywhere else.

Benchip to YoshiKong

Reason: My current username sounds too much like my real name, and I don't want people at school reconising me.

Pokémon Trainer Mario to Vincent

I patiently waited.

Your first of the two renames was Oct. 22, 2010, so you'll have to wait a couple more days. I won't bother rejecting this request (that'd be pointless); it'll just stay unapproved until Saturday. - Walkazo 00:14, 18 October 2011 (EDT)

Sorry for the delay, but you've now been renamed. - Walkazo 01:08, 24 October 2011 (EDT)

Tbagger to Cookie

Reason: Crap current username.

Sorry, there's already an account named "Cookie" on this wiki. You'll have to pick something else. - Walkazo 22:04, 18 October 2011 (EDT)

KoopaMan to Nasta-Peacha

Reason:I am retiring and my sister wants to give wiki-ing a try.

Umm....Hello?-KoopaMan

Anyone here?-KoopaMan (aka Nasta-Peacha)

HELLO?!?!?!?!?!??!!??!!??!!?!??
The preceding unsigned comment was added by KoopaMan (talk).

Don't nag: CC and I aren't on the wiki 24/7 so unless your timing's lucky, it'll take a few hours before we see a request (maybe longer if we're both busy). Anyway, one user per account - and they're non-transferable. Just make a new account for Nasta-Peacha. Plus, this way, she's not stuck with all the warnings and block records that her brother accumulated - Walkazo 22:27, 19 October 2011 (EDT)

You actually know I am a boy?-KoopaMan

She knows, KoopaMan. PikaSamus (talk)

Brock1221 to Brock

Reason: I've been Brock forever on the chats and on Userpedia. When I first joined mariowiki, there was a name rule in place on the chats, and I wanted to be able to freely change my name, so the numbers allowed me to tack on 1221 to my names in order to still be recognized and comply with, at the time, the chat nick rules. Now, since I am the only Brock, and the original rule that required me to have numbers in my name has changed, I wanted to change to just Brock, and make it less confusing for people who already know me as just Brock.

Magic Mushroom to //Dark//Doopliss//

Reason: I'm a new user, and I just thought of a better name than my old one.

The slashes won't work properly. Try to choose a name without special symbols: they needlessly complicate things. - Walkazo 22:43, 24 October 2011 (EDT)

Magic Mushroom to DarthDoopliss69

Reason: It's me again. I'm sorry about last time, so here is my new name.

Toadfan9 to Yoshifan9

Reason: I have that name on the SmashWiki. I want the same name on both wikis.

Zekrom to PokemonLucas100

Reason: "Zekrom" is name of a Pokemon, this is Super MARIO Wiki. I dont know why I named myself "Zekrom" and i want my fans to know im PokemonLucas100 from YouTube.

Sorry, you already used that name as one of your sockpuppets, so it's not available. - Walkazo 00:12, 23 November 2011 (EST)

Zekrom to PokeLucas

Template:Renameuser Reason: Use for other accounts to similarity so its easier.

Thebigveet to thebigveet

Template:Renameuser Reason: the whole thing should be lowercase, easier that way.

The first letter can't be lowercase (technical limitations). But you can type your name in all lowercase if you want anyway: the links will still work. - Walkazo 16:34, 26 November 2011 (EST)

Smasher 101 to Smasher

Special request made on the forum, since a long-dead account had the name "Smasher" and had to be renamed so that the name could be given to this user, who is widely known as plain "Smasher", including on the forums.

Ultra Fuzzy to Ultra Koopa

Template:Renameuser Reason: it's simple. Just a dearer enemy.

Done. Please be advised that this was your second rename this year, so you can't get another one until after September 25, 2012. - Walkazo 23:26, 28 November 2011 (EST)

Thebigveet to TheBigVeet397

Template:Renameuser Reason: More Capitals separate words better, also adding my two favorite numbers, 3 and 97.

KoopaMan to SpongeBlobby

Template:Renameuser Reason:Being a Koopa-Bot is HaRD WORK,MaN. Plus, I wanna make my name more SBob-related. Gumball of the Stars (talk) 17:27, 30 November 2011 (EST) And I'll need a diff. "ME Image" if this happens. Gumball of the Stars (talk) 17:27, 30 November 2011 (EST)

Mario & Luigi to Pokémon Trainer Red

Template:Renameuser I like the Pokémon series better than the Mario series. PikaSamus (talk)
