MarioWiki:Changing username
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).

I retired my decade-old Club Penguin name back in 2021; I go by Mathy or MathyFurret everywhere now.

a while ago, I asked for a rename request, but I asked on Mario jc's profile and I wasn't able to anyway. but now I can. and so, since Captain Puffmin is my site name on every platform I use, (expect scratch) I want it to be Captain Puffmin here as well.

It’s been a while since I came here, but I would prefer not having my real name be on the second half of my username. It’s also the username I use everywhere else, and I would be far.more comfortable here if you (whoever you are) could change it.
