Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple

Simple username changes

Shortcuts WP:CHUS WP:CHU/S WP:CHU/SIMPLE This page hosts simple requests for a username change across the Wikimedia network. Requests are processed by stewards and global renamers. If you have an email address on your account, you may also use the global rename request form to request a username change. If you would like to request courtesy vanishing, you may also use the global vanish request form. If you are trying to "usurp" an existing username, please use meta:Steward requests/Username changes. Instructions Read Wikipedia:Changing username carefully. You must be aware of and understand all the implications of changing your username. Specifically: Your name will be changed to the new one in the page history of every page you've edited, and in all log entries. Your user pages, account preferences, and edits will be moved to the new name. Please do not create a new account or attempt to move them yourself. Links left by your previous signatures will still point to the old userpage; however, a redirect will be created pointing to your new userpage. Understand that using your real name as your username may put you at risk of harassment. Read the username policy and ensure your new name does not violate it. Usernames must not: be inappropriate, profane, or offensive contain libelous, contentious, or non-public information be misleading by impersonating other users or implying that you have authority be the name of a company, organization, group; or imply that the account is shared with multiple people contain emoji, emoticons, or non-language symbols contain the # < > [ ] | { } / @ : = characters, among other restrictions Check that your new username is not already in use by searching for it on Special:CentralAuth. If the name is registered, even on another Wikimedia project, it is taken. If the target name hasn't made any edits to any Wikimedia project, you may request usurpation at meta:Steward requests/Username changes. Log in with your current username. Requests will not be approved if the requester is not logged in. Place your request here. Add your desired username after NEW=. Add a reason for the change after REASON=. Requests without a valid reason will not be approved. Do not change anything else. Select Publish changes. Check back on this page periodically to answer any inquiries regarding your request. Consider watching the page so you can monitor updates. Requests may be closed if there are unresolved queries. Requests that do not follow these instructions or that are grossly malformed are subject to removal. For help 'vanishing' from Wikipedia, please see courtesy vanishing. Do not be surprised if you suddenly cannot log in to your old account; this merely indicates that you should log in under your new user name as the request has been fulfilled.

Robot clerk note: I have detected the following problems:

• The requested username is already registered; see Special:Listusers. However, as this requested account has made no edits, it meets the criteria for being usurped; if you wish to usurp it, please read and follow the process at Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations. If you do not wish to usurp the username, please choose another name to be renamed to.
• There is already a global account registered for TOTFMK.—^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 18:40, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
