Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple

Simple username changes
Shortcuts

This page hosts simple requests for a username change across the Wikimedia network. Requests are processed by stewards and global renamers.

Instructions
  1. 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.
  2. Read the username policy and ensure your new name does not violate it. Usernames must not:
  3. 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.
  4. Log in with your current username. Requests will not be approved if the requester is not logged in.
  5. 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.
  6. Select Publish changes.
  7. 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.

I had originally tried to do this, but my IP is apparently blocked from creating new accounts? I haven't done anything to warrant this. 1llu5!0n15t? (talk) 19:23, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Barr Theo → Ronaldo7M

I don't know if I'm out of my depth by asking this, but I would like for this change to happen at some point within the next 22 hours, AKA on 05/05/2025. Therefore, I will summon User:FlightTime and User:CptViraj in hopes of speeding it up... Barr Theo (talk) 01:59, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Robot clerk note: No problems found—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 02:00, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Barr Theo. The requested username comes so close to impersonation of Cristiano Ronaldo (CR7) that I'm reluctant to perform this rename. Please choose another username. Cabayi (talk) 08:21, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It is quite clear that you and FlightTime have very different standards. Flight refused to change the name of "1llu5!0n15t?" because he had "made little or no edits to this project, other than this rename request, you may as well just abandon this account and create a new one", while you agreed to change the name of "Maguy101" despite the fact that his only edit was his rename request... Yep, I'm not buying it.
Therefore, I would like a second opnion from FlightTime, who I'm confident will have a different standard to this as well. In order to prevent Wp:IMPERSONATE, I can state clearly on my userpage that I'm unrelated to him, just like Eden10Hazard... Barr Theo (talk) 13:59, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
