(Changed request template to reduce the number of incorrectly formatted submissions. I was inspired to make this edit because multiple people filled out the forms incorrectly, in spite of the self explanatory form and the archives having many examples to learn the correct format from.) |

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.
