MarioWiki:Changing username/Archive 12

From the Super Mario Wiki, the Mario encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to search

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).

Baby Luigi to Ray Trace

Rename

Baby Luigi (talk) Ray Trace (talk)

Bye Guy to Koopa con Carne

Rename

Bye Guy (talk) Koopa con Carne (talk)

I'm sorry for my revert yesterday, but I wasn't satisfied with the username I came up with. I find "Koopa con Carne" to be catchier than both "Bye Guy" and... ugh, "Kenneth Koopa". -- KOOPA CON CARNE 19:26, September 15, 2020 (EDT)

All good, done.

Toadette the Achiever to Archivist Toadette

Rename

Toadette the Achiever (talk) Archivist Toadette (talk)
Approved

I think it's about time this happened. I think my initial username comes across as silly and barely professional, so it would probably be better if I changed it to the name of Toadette's alter ego in Super Mario Odyssey, since my love for the character hasn't waned.

AgentJDN to Hexelectron

Rename

AgentJDN (talk) Hexelectron (talk)
Approved

It's been a very long time since I've last edited for Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam glitches on the Super Mario Wiki and added a few Game Overs here and there. As of 2020, I've now become the blue hexagon, Hexelectron! This name applies to my presence on WiKirby (also part of NIWA), as well as other sites I'm on now. Changing it to Hexelectron would help keep the consistency of my names up and running, and I love the name as well, since it really does represent me. AgentJDN (talk) 05:27, March 3, 2021 (EST)

RabbidYoshi2 to The Shamancer

Rename

RabbidYoshi2 (talk) The Shamancer (talk)
Rejected

I feel like I would be constantly trying to change my username to fit with my current video game preference, so I felt like choosing a username based on my favorite species (Shaman). Also, I just want to change it. I know I haven't been registered for 3 months. I'm just putting this on here because knowing me, I would probably forget to put this 2 months later. Better safe than sorry. RabbidYoshi2 (talk) 10:04, June 25, 2021

Please only leave a request once you're eligible, not for it to be fulfilled in the future. If you think you're going to forget, make a reminder. Marie costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 06:20, June 26, 2021 (EDT)

SwampyGator to Trainiax

Rename

SwampyGator (talk) Trainiax (talk)

It's pretty much the name that I use everywhere, I'm not exactly sure why I didn't just go with it initially. TrainiaxKing Boo (Luigi's Mansion) from Mario Kart TourLet's chat! 17:09, June 30, 2021 (EDT)

So I kinda messed up and immediately clicked the rename prompt without realizing the name you picked had already been used by another account. As that account is now under another name, however, I need to check something before I definitely accept or reject the request. Bear with me here! --Glowsquid (talk) 18:54, June 30, 2021 (EDT)
After further deliberation, the name is yours. --Glowsquid (talk) 20:03, June 30, 2021 (EDT)

Rename

1JUST1 (talk) Lastro (talk)
Approved

So I am back on this wiki, and since I have now "Lastro" as my go-to username for nearly everything,I would like to chnage it here too. Also I saw that I can reverse if wanted, so trying can only be good. My signature. 16:22, July 23, 2021 (EDT)

Viperision to Vipz

Rename

Viperision (talk) Vipz (talk)

Rename

SupeMarioMaster (talk) ThePurpleBro (talk)
Approved

So I made this accout of "SupeMarioMaster" a while ago, and I have just grown bored of it. I also use "ThePurpleBro" for a lot of accounts. (Example would be Discord) So I think I should change it to that. (Plus I accidentally misspelled Super so yeah.)

Hexelectron to EleCyon

Rename

Hexelectron (talk) EleCyon (talk)
Approved

After a year of using this old username, I think it's time for a change. EleCyon is a username I'm more comfortable with, and is in reference to my Kirbysona which also uses said name. I've changed my name to such on most of my accounts already (including my WiKirby account and Discord account), and I've planned on changing it as well here.

Please note that most, if not all instances of the name Hexelectron are to be dropped, since I'm no longer comfortable keeping this username anymore. Hexelectron (talk) 12:02, September 26, 2022 (EDT)
