MarioWiki talk:Changing username

Clearing?
Am I understanding this correct that entries from this page don't get removed after the name change? - 05:30, 26 January 2008 (EST)
 * Yes, just leave it with "all userspace pages have been moved" to signify completion. We'll probably need an archive eventually 09:49, 26 January 2008 (EST)
 * When the user doesn't have a user-page created, the line shows up as well, so I'd be careful. The current template doesn't count userpages when they are only talk-pages. Also, the user page of is listed as a sub-page of, that problem has to be fixed as well. -  16:07, 26 January 2008 (EST)
 * Not sure about your first complaint, but I just fixed your last two, though User talk comes before User. 20:26, 26 January 2008 (EST)

Twice Per Year
When it says "1 year", does it mean from January 1 to December 31, or just 365 days in general? Because, technically, if it were based on the first and last day of the year, a user could get 4 name changes in less than an hour, if they do two on 12/31 and another two on 1/1. It means 365 days, correct?
 * Yup. 07:29, 14 September 2008 (EDT)
 * I actually think it's from January 1 to December 31. It's very hard to keep the date of the renames in mind, they're buried in the history. Clearing this page on January 1st is the easiest solution to do. It saves much work for bureaucrats. Don't worry about four renames in hours, we won't let that happen. - 18:36, 14 September 2008 (EDT)
 * So, teoretically, it's possible to have four name changes in one year, is what I'm seeing. Are the name changes for the year going to be archived on 1/1?
 * No. It's possible to have four name changes in 365 days, but never in the same year. I'm not sure about archiving. - 15:32, 15 September 2008 (EDT)
 * When I say "1 year", I don't mean on the calendar, I mean 365 days. So, on 1/1, the page will be cleared, but there will be no archives, correct?
 * Wouldn't adding the date of a rename to this page solve the problem? 18:51, 15 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Or, we could make a list on the page of people who have already had name changes in the past 365 days. Or a combination of the 2, I suppose
 * I only know that this page was indeed cleared on January 1, 2008 and I saw no reason to change it. If you can work out a system which makes it easy to see the 365 date span then go ahead. - 06:42, 16 September 2008 (EDT)

I actually mean to have the user only change twice every 365 days. 15:54, 16 September 2008 (EDT)

There is a log that tracks the date. It's pretty easy to keep track of. 15:56, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
 * If you're insisting on that... - 12:48, 18 September 2008 (EDT)

Question?
Is this where we go to change our name? 19:11, 8 May 2009 (EDT)
 * Yeah, just fill out a form on the corresponding page. A 'Crat will get to it ASAP. 19:33, 8 May 2009 (EDT)
 * Thanks, Stooby! 19:39, 8 May 2009 (EDT)
