Wikipedia:Changing username

"WP:CHU" redirects here. You may have been looking for requests for Checkuser.

This page was used by users to ask a bureaucrat to change their username for them until 15th September 2014, when bureaucrats lost their rights to rename users locally. A historic log of those actions can be found here. Requests for renaming accounts globally are now handled on the page Steward requests/Username changes on Meta-Wiki. Please proceed to that page for requesting a global rename. Alternatively, you may use this special page to request a rename.

General rename requests

Add your request to this section if you are requesting an account be renamed. If the account you are requesting already exists, please use the Usurp section below.

• Comment - Because I dont wish to use my real name (my privacy). Vaiddauji

• Comment - Only for Simple English, as I feel content with my name on the English Wiki. Secret Saturdays (talk) 00:14, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

•  Done –Juliancolton | ^Talk 00:16, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

• Comment - Original name not well thought out at all. New name ties more closely to my profession (slighty altered spelling) and is much easier to remember. A quick search showed that the name is available and can be unified login. (I think?) Sumbody else (talk) 22:56, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Usurpations / SUL conflicts (Unified Login)

Add your request to this section if you are requesting an account which already exists or if requesting to be renamed due to conflicts in the SUL merge process. For SUL merges, you must provide a link back to your userspace on your main Wikipedia with confirmation of the requested rename. Note: the username you wish to take must have no edits, and must be more than 6 months old.
