Inkipedia:Policy/Rename
From Inkipedia, the Splatoon wiki
This is a policy proposal.
The policy has not been approved yet.
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 user may not submit more than one request in six months.
- The account cannot have more than 50 000 edits.
- The user is not seeking the rename to conceal or obfuscate bad conduct.
- The new name is not already registered on the wiki, or is too similar to another editor's username already in-use.
- 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.
- The old username should be visibly linked to the new name on any wiki where the user is active, or has a history of conflict or blocks.
