 | 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. |
Current requests
Please note that renaming users puts a large load on the database. Please do not request a rename unless it is necessary. If you have only a few edits, see the alternatives above.
- You must use the form shown in the gray box below. If you do not do this, your request will be ignored. Don't forget to sign your name with four tildes, as indicated.
=== MyOldUsername → MyNewUsername === * Current name: MyOldUsername * Requested name: MyNewUsername * Reason: MyVeryConvincingReason. Thank you. ~~~~
- Check this page periodically to see whether a bureaucrat has fulfilled your request or whether additional information is required. If the request has been fulfilled, read the "Once fulfilled" section for further instructions; of particular importance is the renaming of your userpages to reflect the name change.

Jeffreythane → Wikiuser789
- Current name: Jeffreythane
- Requested name: Wikiuser789

Coreystruve → ZBX123
- Current name: Coreystruve
- Requested name: ZBX123
- Reason: Personal: is my real name. For privacy. Thank you. P.S. Can the history of this page be also removed to soo that there is no record of this user name.
- It can be purged of this right after this request is fullfilled, but it would still show in the public rename log. Also, any edits to this page after its fulfilled would be hard to reconcile using the current methods of deleting revisions. Its safe to say that this will remain in the history, as such measures are generally not used.Voice-of-All 22:21, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
Stiwari → Sanjay Tiwari
- Current name: Stiwari
- Requested name: Sanjay Tiwari
- Reason: I am being mistaken for other people with the same last name and first initial. Thank you. Stiwari 17:51, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
AK47KC → Skyscraper Phoenix
- Current name: AK47KC
- Requested name: Skyscraper Phoenix
- Reason: AK47KC was my name when I was interested in video and computer games. Now that I quit, I think this name is too violent and outdated for me. The new name will better reflect on my interests. Thank you. AK47KC 19:05, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
