MarioWiki:Changing username/Archive 12
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).

Named after my favorite OC that nowadays I think is more representative of myself than vanilla Baby Luigi. I still love him, but I identify more with my own creation.

Bye Guy to Koopa con Carne
| Bye Guy (talk) | Koopa con Carne (talk) |
|---|---|
| Approved |
I'm sorry for my revert yesterday, but I wasn't satisfied with the username I came up with. I find "Koopa con Carne" to be catchier than both "Bye Guy" and... ugh, "Kenneth Koopa". -- KOOPA CON CARNE 19:26, September 15, 2020 (EDT)
- All good, done.
Toadette the Achiever to Archivist Toadette
| Toadette the Achiever (talk) | Archivist Toadette (talk) |
|---|---|
| Approved |
I think it's about time this happened. I think my initial username comes across as silly and barely professional, so it would probably be better if I changed it to the name of Toadette's alter ego in Super Mario Odyssey, since my love for the character hasn't waned.

| AgentJDN (talk) | Hexelectron (talk) |
|---|---|
| Approved |
It's been a very long time since I've last edited for Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam glitches on the Super Mario Wiki and added a few Game Overs here and there. As of 2020, I've now become the blue hexagon, Hexelectron! This name applies to my presence on WiKirby (also part of NIWA), as well as other sites I'm on now. Changing it to Hexelectron would help keep the consistency of my names up and running, and I love the name as well, since it really does represent me. AgentJDN (talk) 05:27, March 3, 2021 (EST)

RabbidYoshi2 to The Shamancer
| RabbidYoshi2 (talk) | The Shamancer (talk) |
|---|---|
| Rejected |
I feel like I would be constantly trying to change my username to fit with my current video game preference, so I felt like choosing a username based on my favorite species (Shaman). Also, I just want to change it. I know I haven't been registered for 3 months. I'm just putting this on here because knowing me, I would probably forget to put this 2 months later. Better safe than sorry. RabbidYoshi2 (talk) 10:04, June 25, 2021

Let's chat! 17:09, June 30, 2021 (EDT)
- So I kinda messed up and immediately clicked the rename prompt without realizing the name you picked had already been used by another account. As that account is now under another name, however, I need to check something before I definitely accept or reject the request. Bear with me here! --Glowsquid (talk) 18:54, June 30, 2021 (EDT)

So I made this accout of "SupeMarioMaster" a while ago, and I have just grown bored of it. I also use "ThePurpleBro" for a lot of accounts. (Example would be Discord) So I think I should change it to that. (Plus I accidentally misspelled Super so yeah.)

Hexelectron to EleCyon
| Hexelectron (talk) | EleCyon (talk) |
|---|---|
| Approved |
After a year of using this old username, I think it's time for a change. EleCyon is a username I'm more comfortable with, and is in reference to my Kirbysona which also uses said name. I've changed my name to such on most of my accounts already (including my WiKirby account and Discord account), and I've planned on changing it as well here.
Please note that most, if not all instances of the name Hexelectron are to be dropped, since I'm no longer comfortable keeping this username anymore. Hexelectron (talk) 12:02, September 26, 2022 (EDT)
