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:
|
Previous renames are archived: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.
Instructions
- Create a new subsection at the bottom of the page using this syntax:
=== CurrentName to NewName ===
- Below this, use {{rename user}} and put both your current and desired names (both case-sensitive), using this format:
{{rename user|CurrentName|NewName}}
- Leave a comment as to why you want the change after the template and then save the page.
- 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.
- 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).

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)

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 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)

"Yosh Strider" is another deprecated internet name I don't use anymore. Plus naming myself after one of my characters is a lot less likely to become outdated :P wow it's Kiryu (TC) 21:18, 18 September 2017 (EDT)

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)

---|---|
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

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.

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)

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)

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.

---|---|
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....
