MarioWiki:Changing username/Archive 11

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 standard QWERTY 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. J-Luigi (talk) 19:44, 16 June 2017 (EDT)

The Koopa Bro. to Shy Guy on Wheels

Rename

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

Koopas lost shell to Koops

Rename

Koopas lost shell (talk)	Koops (talk)
	Rejected

Koops is my forum username, and everyone knows me under it. Koopas lost shell has become an obscure name, I want to change it.Koopas lost shell 04:31, 10 July 2017 (EDT)

I'm very sorry, but that username is already registered and has made legitimate edits. You'll have to choose another name.

Shokora (talk · edits) 17:48, 10 July 2017 (EDT)

I see. Should I suggest that other name right here, or do I create a new section for it? Koopas lost shell 07:32, 11 July 2017 (EDT)

Best create a new section.

Shokora (talk · edits) 08:00, 11 July 2017 (EDT)

SuperYoshiBros to Waluigi Time

Rename

Rpg gamer to Mister Apple

Rename

Rpg gamer (talk)	Mister Apple (talk)
	Approved

Mister Apple is my forum account, and my name throughout the internet. The name Rpg gamer was made a while ago, and I'd like to distance myself from myself back then. RPGGAMER'I HAVE RPG' 16:56, 21 August 2017 (EDT)

Blocked users do not get name changes: please re-request when after your block expires.

FebruaryDracaena to Mashabely

Rename

FebruaryDracaena (talk)	Mashabely (talk)

My current one is too long, and mashabely at least fits my forum username, and you have to have them match according to the rules. --FebruaryDracaena (talk) 03:30, 2 September 2017 (EDT)

Supermario85 to BNSFFan184

Rename

Supermario85 (talk)	BNSFFan184 (talk)
	Approved

I feel like my username isn't that appropriate and people may think I am a Super Mario profile, so I request this name change so I can have a more casual username, not to mention this name actually matches most of my other usernames on other websites. --Supermario85 (talk) 23:03, 13 September 2017 (PDT)

Yosh Strider to Agent Kiryu

Rename

I shouldn't have given you a rename since you already had one in September, but I only realize the mistake after the fact, so um, free rename you get. --Glowsquid (talk) 17:25, 4 November 2017 (EDT)

DiamondDragon721 to OrbicularCicada

Rename

DiamondDragon721 (talk)	OrbicularCicada (talk)

Rosalina1999 to PowerKamek

Rename

Rosalina1999 (talk)	PowerKamek (talk)

WhompKing to Whimp

Rename

WhompKing (talk)	Whimp (talk)

I like "Whimp" more and I already had an account where my name was WhompKing.

Polterpup to King Boo

Rename

I just thought of a name I like better, which I'll use in other sites. Bro Hammer (Talk • Cont) 11:59, 14 March 2018 (EDT)

Polterpup to Fawful

Rename

Polterpup (talk)	Fawful (talk)
	Approved

Been looking for a new username and this one is surprisingly not taken.

It was taken, but it's made no edits and hasn't been active for more than two years so it's yours now. Please note that you can't request another rename until March 19, 2019. Mario JC 01:19, 19 March 2018 (EDT)

@Mario jc: Isn't the correct date February 13, 2019 or earlier? From what I read on the policy page, two successful name changes can be made within a one-year period, not merely two requests for a name change. ^(T|C) 15:44, 2 April 2018 (EDT)

"Each user must wait one year between renames." The two-renames-per-year rule was changed in June last year. Mario JC 22:58, 2 April 2018 (EDT)

HaydenWong to HaydenKenMutthew

Rename

HaydenWong (talk)	HaydenKenMutthew (talk)

Time is up UTC, see my previous request as it contains my reasons for the rename. White Lightning 22:58, 30 June 2018 (EDT)

The Golden Yoshi to Cash In

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. Golden Yoshi 22:17, 11 July 2018 (EDT)

Starclimber the NightWing to Bramblecloud

Rename

Starclimber the NightWing (talk)	Bramblecloud (talk)
	Rejected

I use this username on other wikis so I want to make it easier to remember. Bramblecloud 12:15, 24 July 2018 (EDT)

Why does it say aprovved? Bramblecloud 12:16, 24 July 2018 (EDT)

It's still not August 12 yet, so don't be surprised if this gets rejected. ^(T|C) 12:37, 24 July 2018 (EDT)

Yeah, please be patient and don't make a request again until August 12. 12:41, 24 July 2018 (EDT)

Can I get it a few days before? Bramblecloud 10:27, 26 July 2018 (EDT)

No. 10:33, 26 July 2018 (EDT)

Spiny to Viperision

Rename

Spiny (talk)	Viperision (talk)
	Approved

I chose to be known as Viperision on this side of the internet. I am also Viperision on WiKirby (and you will probably find me on the Discord with the same nickname on both wikis' servers). --Spiny (talk) 11:17, 2 August 2018 (EDT)

Starclimber the NightWing to Bramblecloud

Rename

Starclimber the NightWing (talk)	Bramblecloud (talk)

Please be patient. 17:07, 12 August 2018 (EDT)

CenturyOfLuigi to SuperML

Rename

CenturyOfLuigi (talk)	SuperML (talk)
	Approved

SuperML is the username I use everywhere else, so it'd make sense for me to use it here, too. -- 17:38, 22 August 2018 (EDT)

That name already existed, but it hasn't been used since its creation in 2014 so I've renamed that one to make the name free. Mario JC 23:09, 1 September 2018 (EDT)

Thank you! -- 18:54, 9 September 2018 (EDT)

The HD Guy to Results May Vary

Rename

The HD Guy (talk)	Results May Vary (talk)
	Approved

More than just a high quality image uploader nowadays. Results May Vary is just this alias I have on parts of the web, name taken directly from that Limp Bizkit album. The HD Guy (talk) 22:33, 1 September 2018 (EDT)

J-Luigi to Koopaboye

Rename

J-Luigi (talk)	Koopaboye (talk)
	Approved

It's been like a year since I last did anything and since I want to get back into the community, I want to match my username with the identity I have on Twitter, Discord, and YouTube. So yeah, here's my really outdated signature and thanks in advance. J-Luigi (talk) 18:35, 18 September 2018 (EDT)

Spectre to Heauxfinity

Rename

Spectre (talk)	Heauxfinity (talk)
	Approved

A name that I made up and use on YT several months ago, and it suits me better now. ★Heauxfinity (talk) 09:58, 18 November 2018 (EST)

BoygeyMario to BoygeyPumpkineer

Rename

BoygeyMario (talk)	BoygeyPumpkineer (talk)
	Approved

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. This is also my current name on Steam. BoygeyPumpkineer

Mashabely to ZelenPixel

Rename

Mashabely (talk)	ZelenPixel (talk)
	Approved

im aware i already changed my username last year, but ive since come up with a new username that i like a lot more and use everywhere instead, and its not misread too. --Mashabely (talk) 04:47, 7 December 2018 (EST)

SmashFan48 to SonicSpeed48

Rename

SmashFan48 (talk)	SonicSpeed48 (talk)
	Approved

I want my user name changed to match SmashWiki's (SonicSpeed48) just so I don't get confused and insert the wrong name again. SmashFan48 (talk) 23:48, 11 January 2019 (EST)

Boo4761 to Boo Diddly

Rename

Boo4761 (talk)	Boo Diddly (talk)
	Approved

I think it sounds a lot nicer, honestly. It's also the original name of the Boo and it doesn't seem to be registered so why not. --Boo4761 16:36, 15 January 2019 (EST)

AbsoluteKoops to Punio

Rename

AbsoluteKoops (talk)	Punio (talk)
	Approved

I use the username 'Punio' or a variation of it pretty much everywhere these days, so that's what I'd like my new username to reflect. I like Punies. They're cute. AbsoluteKoops (talk) 17:31, 5 February 2019 (EST)

Sonic98 to Alternis

Rename

Sonic98 (talk)	Alternis (talk)
	Approved

I use the username "Alternis" as the admin of the Italian Mario Wiki. Sometimes I add Italian names to the template at the bottom of the pages. Therefore I would like to change the username to avoid confusion (and why the old nickname no longer represents me).--Sonic98 (talk) 13:04, 6 February 2019 (EST)

SwaySway to ness.ultimate

Rename

SwaySway (talk)	ness.ultimate (talk)
	Approved

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)

Paper Kirby to Bee Kirby

Rename

Paper Kirby (talk)	Bee Kirby (talk)

I made this account back when I was young and didn't really have much of a web presence. Now that I (kinda) do, I want my username to be consistent with what it is almost everywhere else. --Paper Kirby (talk) 14:48, 7 March 2019 (EST)

MATEOELBACAN to Mateo

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)

Pseudo-dino to Pseudo

Rename

Pseudo-dino (talk)	Pseudo (talk)
	Approved

I've been on the wiki for over a decade and have changed a lot in that time. Getting my username changed to reflect the name I use on other site has felt long overdue for a while so I'm putting it into action now. Thanks. Pseudo-dino (talk) 20:38, March 14, 2019 (EDT)

Best Fitness Friends to Master Aqua

Rename

Best Fitness Friends (talk)	Master Aqua (talk)
	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.

Your account isn't three months old. Try again June 9. --Glowsquid (talk) 20:24, March 24, 2019 (EDT)

Nintendoplayerawesome to Mirage6485

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.

	Rejected

Ok, so i like the wilkins and wontkins commercials, but i also want to go under the name MediaVideoEditor856. So, how about this? Put my name as Wilkins Fan, But also Put the name MVE856 on their too! So that way i stil go under the name MVE856, but also go under the name Wilkins Fan. MKDSF^Talk! (That sig is so old)

The forward slash is not allowed in usernames as the name after it is treated as a subpage to the name before, so no can do. Mario JC 22:25, June 3, 2019 (EDT)

Best Fitness Friends to Mario Sakuraba

Rename

Best Fitness Friends (talk)	Mario Sakuraba (talk)
	Approved

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....

It's only been less than a day. Renaming is not always an immediate process, don't be impatient. Mario JC 01:42, June 10, 2019 (EDT)
