Archived Requests

DatNuttyKid

• Current Name: DatNuttyKid (talk | contribs | logs)
• New Name: DatNuttySquid (talk | contribs | logs)
• More accurate to Splatoon while still being consistent with my most often used username.

Now dat's a nutty kid. 02:20, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Looks fine. Approve. User:Kjhf/Sig 02:24, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Complete. -- Prod (talk) 04:45, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Elite Octoling

• Current Name: Elite Octoling (talk | contribs | logs)
• New Name: Noivern (talk | contribs | logs)
• 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.

Elite Octoling (talk) 14:55, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

Approved. Waiting for bureaucrat to grant. ~SuperHamster 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. ~SuperHamster Talk 00:20, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Done. -- Prod (talk) 01:05, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Ikakizzu

• Current Name: Ikakizzu (talk | contribs | rename)
• 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 ^_^.

19:48, 18 February 2016 (GMT)

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: Mr squid (talk | contribs | rename)
• New name: Squiddo (talk | contribs | logs)
• Reason: Squiddo is my name on Wii U (it used to be Mr Squid) plus Squiddo sounds better than Mr Squid.

Denied - Unfortunately Squiddo is already a registered user and has made at least one edit. If you have another username you'd like to change to, feel free to reply with it. Thanks! ~SuperHamster Talk 06:03, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

• Current name: Mr squid (talk | contribs | rename)
• New name: Mr Squid (talk | contribs | logs)
• Reason: The Squid part should start with a capital letter. It looks better. (My Wii U name is now Mr Squid)

Bump. 17:38, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

Looks fine. Approve User:Kjhf/Sig 18:07, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

TabuuandMasterCore

• Current Name: TabuuandMasterCore (talk | contribs | rename)
• New Name: Bayonetta (talk | contribs | logs)
• I choose a name that was dull when I created the account. Oh also it's a name of a character.

TabuuandMasterCore (talk) 03:01, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

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

Syl

• Current Name: Syl (talk | contribs | rename)
• New Name: Mochah (talk | contribs | logs)
• I suppose I just want to get a less 'pretentious' username in favour of one that I thought a while about and means something to me.

Approved. 15:39, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

GigaSplat

• Current Name: GigaSplat (talk | contribs | rename)
• New Name: Kyubz (talk | contribs | logs)
• Is my username on other websites and I don't like the way GigaSplat sounds anymore.

User:GigaSplat/sig 23:45, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

Approved. A crat will make the change soon. 23:49, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

Karamatsucc

• Current Name: Karamatsucc (talk | contribs | rename)
• New Name: Rassicas (talk | contribs | logs)
• Reason for changing your name: Wanted something to match my twitter handle, and it's a name I associate more with the squid game.

Karamatsucc 19:01, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

Coleofloato

• Current Name: Coleofloato (talk | contribs | rename)
• New Name: Coelofloato (talk | contribs | logs)
• I misspelled my username (I was trying to use part of the word coelom).

Done. Heddy (talk) 15:48, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

psl85

• Current Name: psl85 (talk | contribs | rename)
• New Name: Psl631 (talk | contribs | logs)
• I only want to rename because I would rather have Psl631 as user name instead of psl85

Done. User:Kjhf/Sig 17:19, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Shachar700

• Current Name: Shachar700 (talk | contribs | rename)
• New Name: Shahar (talk | contribs | logs)
• 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. User:Kjhf/Sig 18:26, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Lukey140701

• Current Name: Lukey140701 (talk | contribs | rename)

KingAwesome467

• New Name: KA467 (talk | contribs | logs)
• Hate my username, had it forever, but I figured I'll mask the cringe until I properly come up with something more permanent. (No, I still won't think of something decent after 6 months.)

KingAwesome467 (talk) 21:29, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

Done. User:Kjhf/Sig 13:29, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

GoombaBroadcast

• Current Name: GoombaBroadcast (talk | contribs | rename)
• New Name: ZBroadcast (talk | contribs | logs)
• 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.

GoombaBroadcast (talk) 04:57, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

SplatterBoi48

• Current Name: SplatterBoi48 (talk | contribs | rename)
• New Name: SonicSpeed48 (talk | contribs | logs)
• I want my user name changed to match SmashWiki's (SonicSpeed48) just so I don't get confused and insert the wrong name again.

Marinasairpods

• Current Name: Marinasairpods (talk | contribs | rename)
• New Name: ProfessorTox (talk | contribs | logs)
• Reason for changing your name: When I made this account some weeks ago I didn't really think about a good username so i just picked marina and something I was wearing. And I don't really like this username becasuse it doesn't mke sense

Marinasairpods [치즈] (talk) 02:58, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

SniperScopes555

• Current Name: SniperScopes555 (talk | contribs | rename)
• New Name: Scopes (talk | contribs | logs)
• Reason: Changed my name because it's the same as almost every other game/media I am recognized on. Also old name is too long.

SniperScopes555 (talk) 16:28, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

Approved. 19:37, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

Hadamsj

• Current Name: Hadamsj (talk | contribs | rename)
• New Name: StarAdamStar (talk | contribs | logs)

Hadamsj (talk) 14:29, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Approved. 20:56, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

ShinyCelesteela

• Current Name: ShinyCelesteela (talk | contribs | rename)
• New Name: WayslideCool (talk | contribs | logs)
• 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. 15:41, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

FunPL

• Current Name: FunPL (talk | contribs | rename)
• New Name: Fumple (talk | contribs | logs)

Oscahienfan

• Current Name: Oscahienfan (talk | contribs | rename)
• New Name: OliverJM (talk | contribs | logs)
• I do not enjoy this name. It is not what I wanted and the punctuation is not correct. I did not intend to have this be my name. I thought I could change my name more easily but I can't.

Oscahienfan (talk) 15:24, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

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

SquidSistersAreBestGirls

• Current Name: SquidSistersAreBestGirls (talk | contribs | rename)
• New Name: SeeDeeEss (talk | contribs | logs)
• 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.

SquidSistersAreBestGirls (talk) 19:17, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

Approved. A bureaucrat will process your request soon. Luke26 (talk) 19:26, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

User:Prinz the overlord/Sig 15:03, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Declined. You requested a name change in November; you must wait 6 months before requesting another change. Luke26 (talk) 15:17, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

• Current Name: Bambamoh (talk | contribs | rename)
• New Name: dedf1sh dedf1sh07 (talk | contribs | logs)
• I am a big fan of dedf1sh, and I prefer my name being that instead of Bambamoh

BambamOh (talk) 22:27, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

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)

• New Name YOLO2020 (talk | contribs | logs)
• When I created my username, I wanted all caps but it would not let me, but I see other usernames do have all caps.

Approved. The all caps restriction was in place to prevent bots from making accounts; it's okay to have a username like that. A bureaucrat will process the name change soon. Heddy (talk) 23:11, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

• New Name: HazeL (WN) (talk | contribs | logs)
• 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.)
