DatNuttyKid
Now dat's a nutty kid. 02:20, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Current Name:
 * New Name:
 * More accurate to Splatoon while still being consistent with my most often used username.
 * Looks fine. Approve. 02:24, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Complete. -- Prod (talk) 04:45, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Elite Octoling
Elite Octoling (talk) 14:55, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Current Name:
 * New Name:
 * Lost a slight bit (not all) of interest in Splatoon, and because I've been more obsessed about Noivern than Octoling. There's also another user who's name is basically mine without "Elite", so I don't need confusion.
 * Approved. Waiting for bureaucrat to grant. ~Super Hamster  Talk 21:52, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
 * It's been over a month, just posting here so it's not forgotten about. Elite Octoling (talk) 21:36, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reminder, Elite! I'll ping Prod on this. ~Super Hamster  Talk 00:20, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Done. -- Prod (talk) 01:05, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Ikakizzu
19:48, 18 February 2016 (GMT)
 * Current Name:
 * New Name: gtKaged
 * Just feels like such a newbie name to Splatoon, because it was translated from English to Japanese "SquidKids". I'm also getting tired on how the name stands out to all the other names. Thought I could change the name to my gaming name ^_^.
 * Approve. Need a bureaucrat to make the change. --Bzeep!   talk   21:50, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Done. -- Prod (talk) 00:58, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

Mr squid

 * Current name:
 * New name:
 * Reason: Squiddo is my name on Wii U (it used to be Mr Squid) plus Squiddo sounds better than Mr Squid.

 * Current name:
 * New name:
 * Reason: The Squid part should start with a capital letter. It looks better. (My Wii U name is now Mr Squid)

 * Looks fine. Approve 18:07, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Approve. Waiting for bureaucrat to make the change. --Bzeep!  talk  04:03, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

Syl

 * Done. 17:19, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Shachar700

 * Current Name:
 * New Name:
 * I think it will be much simpler to read and understand the name and it’s more accurate to my IRL name. Even though I’ve been Shachar700 in every other site I think it’s for the best to be called here by more accurate name.
 * Done, please update any associated user pages and redirects at your convenience. 18:26, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

GoombaBroadcast (talk) 04:57, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Current Name:
 * New Name:
 * I would like to change my user name so it will be the same as my YouTube and Twitter name for less confusion. It also would be much more broad since this is the Inkipedia and not the Mario Wiki.
 * Done 23:22, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

SplatterBoi48 (talk) 00:41, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

ShinyCelesteela

 * Current Name:
 * New Name:
 * It's a username I use on a variety of other sites, and I also feel it's just more "on-brand" for me. It's pretty much the intersection of my two biggest interests! Plus it's more relevant to Splatoon, which is good for, y'know, a Splatoon Wiki. ShinyCelesteela (talk) 12:57, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Approved. Inkling luke.png Inkling talk.png 15:41, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Approved. Your name change request will be processed by a bureaucrat. Heddy (talk) 21:08, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

SquidSistersAreBestGirls
SquidSistersAreBestGirls (talk) 19:17, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Current Name:
 * New Name:
 * Old username reeks of the days when I was new to the game, and excessively fanboy-ish. New username is a reference to CDS, or Custom Dualie Squelchers, which is the weapon I use most, and is much shorter.
 * Approved. A bureaucrat will process your request soon. Luke26 (talk) 19:26, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

SQUIDKID2000
 SquidKid   Talking   20:24, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Current Name:

 * Old name: User:Prinz the overlord
 * New name: Prinz The Overlord
 * Reason: A very tiny change, it goes better with my inki email. I have a thing with caps.

Bambamoh
BambamOh (talk) 22:27, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Current Name:
 * New Name: dedf1sh
 * I am a big fan of dedf1sh, and I prefer my name being that instead of Bambamoh
 * Declined. This username is already taken. Luke26 (talk) 22:33, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I tried searching for a User:dedf1sh but the closest result was User:dedf1sh 3. If that's too similar, then I'll keep my current name BambamOh (talk) 22:38, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Check Special:Log/dedf1sh1. On that page you can check if an account was created. For example, "dedf1sh1" is untaken so you could have that name if you want. Heddy (talk) 23:02, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Then can I use dedf1sh07? BambamOh (talk) 23:32, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Current Name
 * New Name
 * When I created my username, I wanted all caps but it would not let me, but I see other usernames do have all caps.

Yaxops

 * Current Name:
 * New Name:
 * It was one of my names before I was Yaxops and I don't like how Yaxops doesn't roll off the tongue well. I would definitely prefer if I was Hazel (WN). (By the way, WN was my friends eSport team before it got disbanded in 2020. It wasn't really an eSport team rather just a fun team we had but we still use the name in honor.)

 * Your username will be displayed as "Cgtoad625" due to technical restrictions. You will be able to log in with either "cgtoad625" or "Cgtoad625", but the true account name will be "Cgtoad625". If this information changes your mind, feel free to modify your request before it is processed. Heddy (talk) 06:05, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Current Name:
 * New Name:
 * Just a new Splatoon name I thought of, and a bit shorter.


 * Just to double check, do you mean Splaton or Splatoon? Shahar (talk) 07:00, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I meant Splaton. Sorry if I didn’t clarify! BadTimeGamer123 (talk) 13:45, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Cynical Prince
15:29, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Current Name:
 * New Name:
 * I feel like my style and appearance on Inkipedia is deviating from that whole "edgy and cynical" kinda thing I was going for initially. Additionally, I think "Princewave" (a portmanteau of Prince and synthwave) fits me and my irl personality a lot more. I don't think it conflicts too much with Firewave, but that might be prone to change if they start editing again.
 * Approved. A bureaucrat will process the name change soon. Heddy (talk) 06:56, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

Avery the Squid Phoenix
Thanks for your consideration! And, uh, sorry for making everyone read through a whole paragraph of reasons why I want a different name...
 * Current Name:
 * New Name:
 * Few reasons. One: Avery the Squid Phoenix is too long, clunky, and hard to remember and type. Two: Avery_TSP is my username everywhere else, including in Splatoon. Even my signature is just Avery_TSP. Three: Avery_TSP matches me more than the full name does. I try not to be too showoffy and my current username doesn't really reflect that. Four: Avery_TSP matches everyone else's usernames more than the full name does. Five: Avery the Squid Phoenix is a cringe name and I have come to dislike it. Avery_TSP just sounds... better. Six: Avery the Squid Phoenix shares a few words with User:The Amazing Phoenix. It was really just a coincidence and not really similar enough to be significant (except in extreme cases) but I'd feel more comfortable having a username that is more distinct from everyone else's. But only a little (see point 4). (The only other name that starts with 'Av' is User:Avion9983, and those names are different enough that I'm fine sharing two letters. Plus, demanding one whole letter out of the just 26 in the alphabet be reserved for JUST ME would be rude, weird, and seriously contradicting point three.)

Avery_TSP ( conversing ) 16:46, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Approved. A bureaucrat will process your request soon. Shahar (talk) 10:09, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Done. Thank you for your very detailed reasonings. 10:50, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
