Overview

This is the Requests for Rename page. Archived requests can be found here. The rename policy is as follows:

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

To file a new request or nomination, please fill out the following form and place it at the bottom of this page in the 'Current requests' section:

=== YourUsername ===
* Current Name: {{Rename|YourUsername}}
* New Name: {{Userlinks-short|YourNewName}}
* Reason: Reason for changing your name.
 
~~~~ 
  • Replace YourUsername with your current username, and YourNewName with your desired username.
  • 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.
  • Old requests are archived here.

Freddie

Matches my discord username, is less confusing and I prefer it

Karmasdoor

This is a username that I don't use anymore, and I find it easier to simply request a change rather than creating an entirely new account.

Giantplaytime

  • Current Name: Giantplaytime (talk | contribs | rename)
  • New Name: OcttKing (talk | contribs | logs)
  • (OcttKing not OctoKing) A while time ago the amazing Chat GPT was announced and went viral. Giantplaytime is 13 letters so many things including Splatoon only allows 10 letters or 12 letters so I shorten it to GPT (-G-iant-P-lay-T-ime) now with chat gpt I hated being confused with the new AI so I brainstormed and figured it would be best if I changed it to OcttKing Shortened from Octarian King and a unique name in that I changed most of the active usernames, And at that time I wasn't active here (also I couldn't find how to change it) But look at me now active as ever!
