Template:UsernameBlocked

Permanently protected template
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Your account, UsernameBlocked has been blocked from changing Wikipedia because the username may not meet our username policy. This is not anything against you, and you are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our guidelines. We hope to see you changing again soon!
If you feel this block was made wrongly, you may quickly and easily ask to be unblocked.

Our username policy says how you should choose your username. Put simply, you should not have a username that people find offensive, advertises a real world group or company, or is confusing (for example, if it pretends to be another user).

If you have already made changes and wish to keep your changes under a new name you may ask us to rename your account. If you want to, please:

1. Ask for an unblock
Type {{unblock|reason}} on your user talk page which you should still be able to change. You want to change your username, so say that. If an administrator thinks that you should be unblocked, he or she will do so for you, normally for 24 hours.
2. Ask for a change in username
Go here and ask for a new name. A steward or a global renamer will take care of the request.

If you have made very few or no changes, then it would be a lot easier to just create a new account.

Please note that the software Wikipedia uses may automatically block you from creating a new account. This is a mistake, and should not have happened. If this has happened, use the unblock template as explained above, and an administrator will fix it for you.

If you think you should not have been blocked, add {{unblock|your reason here}} on your user talk page or email the administrator who blocked you. You can also send an e-mail to simple-admins-l@lists.wikimedia.org and an administrator will look at your reason and reply.
