Inkipedia has the capability of renaming editors' usernames. However this should be done in a formal and transparent manner to prevent abuse or spam.
Requirements
- The account can only be renamed once every six months.
- The account cannot have more than 10,000 edits.
- The user is not seeking the rename to conceal or obfuscate bad conduct.
- The new name is not already registered on the wiki.
- The new name is not too similar to another editor's username.
- The new name should not be inappropriate, at the discretion of an administrator.
Process
- New requests should be made at Inkipedia:Requests for Rename.
- An admin will look through the request and either accept or decline it.
- Declined requests will be given a reason.
- After a request is accepted, a Bureaucrat will have a final say and carry out the rename.
