The wiki software allows bureaucrats to change any user account to a new name, as long as it's not already in-use by someone else.
All edits made by the user will be changed in the edit history to reflect the change. However, this feature has been somewhat abused in the past, so there are some limits:
Previous renames are archived: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.
Instructions
- Create a new subsection at the bottom of the page using this syntax:
=== CurrentName to NewName ===
- Below this, use {{rename user}} and put both your current and desired names (both case-sensitive), using this format:
{{rename user|CurrentName|NewName}}
- Leave a comment as to why you want the change after the template and then save the page.
- Bureaucrats will check this page regularly and if accepted can use the "Rename" link on the top-right corner of each section to directly change the username and move all userspace pages.
- The bureaucrat will say whether the name change is accepted or rejected in each section, and if rejected, why (such as already being given a name change over the preceding 12 months).

I'm changing my name for a few reasons. It is easier to type (the "ph" always messesd up), I've lost intrest in ravens, and it fits my Pikmin/Donkey Kong Country obsession.

'Windspyro' is a name that relates to the Spyro series of video games, not the Mario series, and since when I signed up I was into Spyro a lot more than I am now, I think its very suitable to change my name to something that relates to the mario series. Plus, toad is my favourite character!

In my depression, I decided that I was tired of my perfectly good username. Now I'm trying to get over the depression, this new name is very fitting. Depending on how I feel, it will either be permanent or it will be temporary. And, yes, it's a reference to Night of the Hunter by 30 Seconds To Mars. ;)
