Shortcut: WB:RENAME Request a Rename How to fill in this form: Replace CURRENT with your current username. Replace NEW with the new username that you would like to be renamed to. Enter your reason for renaming by replacing Requested reason for renaming in the |3 = Requested reason for renaming line with your reason for requesting a rename. Please provide a diff confirming you own the account at the home wiki listed on the SUL tool, if that account has been registered on any WMF wiki. We want to make sure that we are not creating SUL conflicts when doing renames. Do not add a section heading; it will be automatically added. Ensure that you have followed the instructions above correctly. Click "Save page" and then watch for a reply. Note We will not rename you to an offensive or confusing username If you have already merged your accounts, you will have to re-merge them after the rename (the process is identical) If you are usurping a username, we will give active users or those with a registered email time to respond to a request
