Hi, long story short, I'm a very old user of this wiki. I have been inactive for quite a while due to life and whatnot. However my interest for the Mario series hasn't wavered at all and remains as strong as ever. So, the reason why I want to change my username is simple, I created my account when I was 12, I'm 22 now. I haven't used this name for many years now and I honestly don't like it. It's just a nonsensical name I created when I was a pre-teen that I don't use at all anymore. Thanks for reading!

I know I probably won't be able to get it changed now, but I'm not really sure about my current username. I chose it because most of the good ones have been taken. So now I thought I'd make a new username under my favorite Kingdom Hearts character instead. I'm also keen to see what date exactly I'd be able to get it changed.

{{rename user|Nintendoplayerawesome|Mirage6485|a}}
I've been on the wiki for a very long time. Long enough that I don't even remember when I first joined. Anyway the reason I'd like my name to be changed is because I've been associating myself with the name Mirage6485 in other places and prefer that name more than my current name on here. When I first joined, I didn't know what to name myself so I went with Nintendoplayerawesome. I now look back at this name and it just doesn't feel right personally. I'm still very much a Mario/Nintendo fan and will continue to do what I can for this wiki.

I have chosen “Happy•Toad” because this is my username for most things Nintendo and gaming nowadays, including my recently created account on the forum, YouTube, etc.
:I'd rather not rename you to something which could be an inconvenience to type. If you'd like just plain "Happy Toad" with or without a space, that I can do. Create a new request section when you've decided.

Latest revision as of 20:03, April 12, 2022

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

GSYoshi to J-Luigi

Rename

GSYoshi (talk) J-Luigi (talk)
Approved

My trademark around the internet is having my name begin with J-, so I think I'd like to bring that here. Also you might have heard that I like Luigi a lot lately, so I'm going with J-Luigi.

Also first request off this archive, so that's notable I guess. JLuigi.pngJ-Luigi (talk) 19:44, 16 June 2017 (EDT)

Rename

The Koopa Bro. (talk) Shy Guy on Wheels (talk)

Rename

Supermario85 (talk) BNSFFan184 (talk)

Rename

The Golden Yoshi (talk) Cash In (talk)
Approved

Cash In is a name that I've been using online for the last year or so. Using it here would not only make things more consistent and easier to remember, but it would also make it easier for users to recognise me outside the wiki.

I felt I needed a new name for a while now. For one, I like Mario & Luigi equally, and the reasoning for my new name is due to pumpkins being my favorite food, & Engineer being my favorite class on Team Fortress 2.

First of all, I need to stop naming my online accounts after Nickelodeon characters (even if it's for the nostalgia). Second of all, I need a more memorable account name for when I start coming here frequently again, as my GameFAQs acc name is melee.ness. The difference? I didn't main him in Melee, but in Ultimate I actually do, so that's easier to remember. SwaySway (talk) 20:08, 6 March 2019 (GMT)

Rename

MATEOELBACAN (talk) Mateo (talk)
Approved

Hi, long story short, I'm a very old user of this wiki. I have been inactive for quite a while due to life and whatnot. However my interest for the Mario series hasn't wavered at all and remains as strong as ever. So, the reason why I want to change my username is simple, I created my account when I was 12, I'm 22 now. I haven't used this name for many years now and I honestly don't like it. It's just a nonsensical name I created when I was a pre-teen that I don't use at all anymore. Thanks for reading! MATEOELBACAN (talk) 20:50, March 12, 2019 (EDT)

Rejected

I know I probably won't be able to get it changed now, but I'm not really sure about my current username. I chose it because most of the good ones have been taken. So now I thought I'd make a new username under my favorite Kingdom Hearts character instead. I'm also keen to see what date exactly I'd be able to get it changed.

Rename

Nintendoplayerawesome (talk) Mirage6485 (talk)
Approved

I've been on the wiki for a very long time. Long enough that I don't even remember when I first joined. Anyway the reason I'd like my name to be changed is because I've been associating myself with the name Mirage6485 in other places and prefer that name more than my current name on here. When I first joined, I didn't know what to name myself so I went with Nintendoplayerawesome. I now look back at this name and it just doesn't feel right personally. I'm still very much a Mario/Nintendo fan and will continue to do what I can for this wiki.

Last time I tried to get my username changed, this was the date I was told to wait until before I could do so. Also, happy three month anniversary to me!

Not to seem impatient, but how long does it take for this to get approved/rejected?
It's now been twelve hours since I asked, and counting... please don't make my patience run out. I've been dying to chamge my username for a while.

Ok, I'm being ignored here aren't I? Guess I shouldn't be surprised since it's happened to me for pretty much my whole life....

I am wanting to become more active on the wiki, and I think that a good first step towards this is changing my name, especially with the long and opinionated nature of my old name. I have chosen “Happy•Toad” because this is my username for most things Nintendo and gaming nowadays, including my recently created account on the forum, YouTube, etc.

I'd rather not rename you to something which could be an inconvenience to type. If you'd like just plain "Happy Toad" with or without a space, that I can do. Create a new request section when you've decided.
