Editing HRWiki:Changing username

{{shortcut|CU|float=left}}

<div style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;">__TOC__</div>
The user name users choose for themselves is not set in stone. On request, [[HRWiki:Bureaucrats|bureaucrats]] can change user account settings and article histories such that all previous edits of a given user are attributed to the new name using [[Special:Renameuser]]. Note: You must make the request from the account you want renamed; anonymous requests (except users whose usernames begin with a lowercase letter and therefore cannot log in) are ignored for security reasons.

==Requesting a change==

To have your name changed, please make your request on this page. Please follow the procedure carefully or your request will not be fulfilled. With rare exceptions, multiple name-change requests by the same user will not be honored.

===Instructions===

#Check if the new name you want does not exist ([[Special:Listusers]]).  '''Do not create an account under the new name'''. ''<small>(If you already created the new account, don't worry. We can do some stuff and fix it, but it's still recommended that you don't.)</small>''
#Sign in with the account that you want renamed.
#:''Of course, this is not possible if your account has a lowercase first letter.  If you can't log in, then skip this step.''
#Add your request to the '''bottom''' of the section below. Use the following template: <code><nowiki>{{renameuser|Old username|New username}}</nowiki></code><!--
#If you are a sysop, please note this fact with your request so that the necessary changes can be made.-->
#Once your request is dealt with, all edits from your old account will be reattributed to your new account.<!--
#You should check that the old account has been recreated and blocked to prevent someone else creating the account and impersonating you.
#:''This cannot be done in the case of usernames with a lowercase first letter, but they can no longer be registered so this isn't a problem.''-->
#Move and redirect your user page and talk page to the new name if it has not already been done.

==Current requests==
<div style="background:#FFC;text-align:center;border:1px solid #CC9">'''Please use this template for new requests: <tt><nowiki>{{renameuser|Old username|New username}}</nowiki></tt>'''</div>

=== Peter222 ===
{{renameuser|Peter222|Peter22}}
I don't really like my username. To many 2's. If you get rid of one it'll bother me less. Thank you.{{User:Peter222/sig}}
:On your user page, you state "I also despise my username", which says to me that you would not want to be stuck with Peter22. In order to avoid having to change your name a second time, I'm just going to wait till you come up with something you like as opposed to something that doesn't bother you as much. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:53, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
::The excessive two's are the only reasons I dislike it. If I have one less I'd be fine with it and probably wouldn't change it again. Peter22 would not bother me at all.{{User:Peter222/sig}}
:::That's not what you said above. Your signature is just "Peter", so how about that? &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:16, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

===MICGAGUH===
{{renameuser|MICGAGUH|The Username Searcher}}
Make the color of mine red, yellow, blue and purple. [[User:MICGAGUH]]
: <s>Um, wrong page. Try [[HRWiki:Signature]].</s> That was written when this looked like a simple request for a sig, but I don't know that putting in all the periods really helps anything. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:21, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
::Yeah, this is for changing the actual ''username''. For what comes up when you type "<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>", then you can ask anybody, or change it yourself anytime. But only Bureaucrats can change your username. {{User:Thy Not Dennis/sig}} 19:32, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
Well, Mr. I Can't Get A Good Username Here, instead of adding periods to your name, why don't we come up with a ''good'' username for you instead. Having to enter all those periods when you log in or when someone mentions you by name would probably get real old real fast. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:29, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
:Okay how about The Username Searcher? [[User:MICGAGUH]]
::MICGAGUH, you have the opportunity to ''think'' for a while about your username, and you should take this opportunity to do that. You don't ''have'' to have a username that implies you can't get a good username. Unless that's what you really want, in which case, I can't change it. But say so and a Bureaucrat will. {{User:Thy Not Dennis/sig}} 15:16, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
:::Uh, what's a Bureaucrat? [[User:MICGAGUH]]
::::I'm a bureaucrat, but that's really not important. What ''is'' important is that you need to pick an actual name if you expect it to get changed. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:05, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
:::::I already got user files on Wikipedia and the Super Mario Wiki! I'm not saying who, but I'm not using those names! [[User:MICGAGUH]]
::::::Why not? I have a Wikipedia account and my user name there is similar to my user name here (not identical because it's too common and someone else already claimed it, but similar enough.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:54, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
:::::::Also, who cares what your names are there. The only thing that's relevant here is tht you pick an actual name for this wiki. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:46, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
::::::::If you really want me to, change into Freakazoid or fight King Hippo in Punch-Out!! Wii [[User: MICGAGUH]]
:::::::::Pick the one you want. Change the template at the top of this thread. Be aware that I'm not going to change your name more than once, so be sure you like what you go with. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:40, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

===E.L. Cool===
{{renameuser|E.L. Cool|Elcool}}
No one called me E.L. Cool in a long time. Also, I switched to the shorter form on most other sites. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 21:18, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
:Done. I don't think I've ever tested changing a sysop's name before. It should be fine, but let me know if anything went awry permissions-wise. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:22, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
::Thank you! Looks like everything is in place. Even tried to delete a page and it's all cool. My sig is literally on almost every talk page. Should that stay, or can some bot fix it? {{User:Elcool/sig}} 07:40, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
:::There's no need to fix it en masse, especially since this was less of a name change and more of just a style change. Better and easier to just let the redirect do its thing. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:35, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

===Homestar-winner===

:::::Hey, DC, no matter what I do, it still keeps logging me in as "Homestar-winner" in Firefox. If it isn't too much trouble, could you maybe change my user name back to "Homestar-winner" so I can start editing in Firefox again? That has been the reason why I haven't made many edits lately... {{User:Homestar-Winner/sig}} 16:08, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
::::::Instead of just treating the symptom, I think we should try to figure out what the problem is instead. Close all Firefox tabs except for a blank one. Go to Tools > Clear Recent History. Choose Everything from the drop-down menu and make sure all the checkboxes are checked. Then press Clear Now. Close Firefox, and for good measure restart your computer.

===McArbys===
{{renameuser|McArbys|The McArby}}

I created this account when I had some confusion in the Tales of the McArby title, It would be more accurate, which would be a load off my mind, plus my sig would be truthful on my name. -- [[User:McArbys|The McArby!]]

===HRjcm===
{{renameuser|HRjcm|JCM}}
About two years ago, I had my name changed so it would reflect my HRFWiki username, however, I had no idea the accounts would be linked after the purge and I'd have no access to my previous one there, and my current one isn't really appropriate for the fanstuff wiki and may cause confusion. So when you get back, could it be possible for you to rename my new cross-account to JCM, so it could be more recognizable to both sides from now on? I promise I won't bother you anymore after this. {{User:HRjcm/sig}} 23:15, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

===Ms. 1-Up Pie===
{{renameuser|Ms. 1-Up Pie|Power Pie}}
I made my account back when I didn't know 1-Up was a character. A boring one, at that. To avoid confusion as to my character preferences and because Power Pie sounds cooler, I'd like a name change. [[User:Ms. 1-Up Pie|Ms. 1-Up Pie]] 17:24, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

===Im a bell===
{{renameuser|Im a bell|Bellstrom}}
I've recently begun to use Bellstrom as my default online pseudonym, and I think it sounds a bit better than Im a bell. Also, I once had a terrible user character on the HRFWiki, and the WUW, but that's not important, by that name, and I'm trying to forget that...

Funny story about that name. Some website or other, I just wanted 'timholt.' It was taken. So I went for 'thetimholt.' It was also taken.
:The user "atimholt" doesn't exist. The users "timholt" and "thetimholt" don't exist either. {{User:StrongAwesome74/sig}} 02:25, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

===Wasd98===
{{renameuser|Wasd98|Rondleman}}
When I joined HRWiki, I couldn't really think of a good username, so I just put down Wasd98. I've been regretting it ever since. I really wanted to change my name to something related to H*R, then I saw this page and was like "Hallelujah"! And I love the Biz Cas Fri series so that's why I wanted to do Rondleman. Please change it! It would be awesome! {{User:Wasd98/sig}} 02:08, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

===Fotoshop===
{{renameuser|Fotoshop|Fuchsiania}}
When I signed up for an account at the Homestar Runner Wiki, my username "Fotoshop" was three years old. Now it is five.

While the phonetic source is obvious, the origin of the name, per se, is not. I formulated the username when I was in the third grade, for a Club Penguin account, as a roundabout means of bragging about my (rudimentary) skills with Photoshop. Of course, nobody who played Club Penguin knew what Photoshop was. As my devotion to Club Penguin declined, I began to use the name "Fotoshop" for other websites. Almost immediately, "Fotoshop" became my main handle. However, as I veered away from Photoshop and toward the open-source GIMP, and began to realize the utter simplicity and uncleverness of the username, "Fotoshop" began to seem less appealing and relevant. I began to despise the name.

I proceeded to experiment with other usernames when I finally settled on "Fuchsiania", the name of one of five hundred achievements in a Flash game of mine. I choose this name because ''1'') it's a portmanteau (I like those), ''2'') it's relevant, as I mentioned earlier, ''3'') it begins with the same letter as "Fotoshop", softening the transition, as I find that many people tend to associate by initials, and ''4'') it's easier to form a consistent visual identity than Fotoshop.

Now, I ask, can you please change my username on both the wiki and the forum to Fuchsiania, if you may be so kind?

Thank you in advance,<br />
Fotoshop &mdash; 04:24, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
:Done. Just one question: how do you ''pronounce'' it? Okay, actually two questions: it's a portmanteau of ''fuchsia'' and what? &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:16, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
::Thank you, thank you! It's pronounced <nowiki>[</nowiki>fju&#x283;ie&#x26a;ni&#x250;<nowiki>]</nowiki>, essentially the first syllable of "fuchsia" ("fyoosh") concatenated with "i" ("ee"), followed by "ania" ("ania" >_>). It's a portmanteau of Fuchsia and mania. Pardon me if my writing is unclear; I'm still a bit delirious with excitement (OMG, It's dot com wrote to me!). Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you very, very much, {{User:Fotoshop/sig}}!

::::::::::By "established" he means that YOU, as a user on this wiki, have made enough edits and have developed enough of a personality under your current name that anything which doesn't imply a connection to your current name would confuse other users. For the record, I kinda like the name "Garbles". {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 03:43, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
:::::::::Actually the word "garble" means to mix words up to make a new word, like "cookie" and "look" = "lookie". --{{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 00:05, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
::::::::::I'm not sure what word you're thinking of (''portmanteau'' maybe?), but ''garble'' [http://education.yahoo.com/reference/dictionary/entry/garble means] "to mix up ... to such an extent as to make ... incomprehensible." "Gfdgsgxgzgdrc" is a bunch of letters garbled together. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:39, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
:::::::::OH okay I get it now. But still I like the name "Jorb386" better than my ''old'' username. AND I never actually ''tried'' to pronounce my username, but if I had to pronounce it, It would ''prolly'' sound like "guff-duh-guzz-guh-xuh-guh-zuh-guh-derk". ''PLEASE'' change my name to Jorb386. I wont edit until atleast ''someone'' does. <!--PLEASE CHANGE A THE NAME.-->--{{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 01:45, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
::::::::::You shouldn't give an ultimatum if you don't want your bluff called. The problem I have with Jorb386 is almost identical to the one I have with Seriously386. You're basically taking a name that's already been registered and slapping a number on it. There's a reason the system won't let you do that (names should be unique). How about "Gfgdrc" or "Gfdrc386"? &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:58, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

My current username is way too long.
: "Homsar" already exists as a user, and is pretty generic as a Homestar Runner Wiki user name besides. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 08:54, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

:::Will this be okay? Even though he is a character he is minor. Also even though it is 14 characters long it's easier to type. {{unsigned|What-eez-it-stwong-bayad|17:57, 21 March 2012 (UTC)}}

{{renameuser|The For Real Deal|Paharwell}}

As cool as my username is, I'd like for it to be paharwell, which is the username I use pretty much everywhere else on yon Internets. So, for consistency's sake, I will let this one go. You know what they say, if you love a username, set it free... [[User:The For Real Deal|The For Real Deal]] 22:14, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

P.S. Oh yeah. Seems I saw something about usernames having to start with a capital letter? If so, that's cool. Paharwell will work just fine. Thanks a mil!
:Done (and yes, it must be capitalized). &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:55, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

I was a little hasty in picking my username. I didn't check the username and sig policies first. DeFender informed me that I must use my actual username in my sig, instead of a "handle" like I do in other wikis. I would like to be ToaJuaraevo01. {{User:Jdaniels15/sig1}} 17:53, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
