Bulbapedia talk:Username policy

"Bot"

Hello. Wouldn't "bot" be a confusing word to have in a username of an account that isn't a Bulbapedia bot account? Normal accounts should not have the word "bot" in their username because it might be confused with bot accounts. That should probably be mentioned in the policy page also. – RyanCross (talk) 01:31, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Got that right. If there's nothing about that, I'll add it immediately. --ニョロトノ666 01:33, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. – RyanCross (talk) 01:39, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

No prob. Nice sig, BTW. --ニョロトノ666 01:41, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Heh, thanks. :) – RyanCross (talk) 01:42, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Username length

I think there should be something about how long your name can be in there. To avoid people like EnemyOfHomosexualsAndLiberalsAndAtheismandSatanismAndMakingChildrenWithoutMarriage. I propose a maximum character count of 25. Anyone above that gets blocked. --ケンジのガール 05:08, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

And users already registered have nothing done with them? --^Psychic_Rider^☮ 05:15, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

*blocks self* This was discussed pre-AC disabling, if you know what I mean. Nothing came of it. I know the Portugese EP limits their names to 25 characters... for the record, it stopped me from signing up. —darklordtrom 07:42, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Username?

How do you change your username? Garyplusash 17:18, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Make a bundle of edits to the main namespace (i.e. the articles) and then talk to a bureaucrat. —darklordtrom 20:19, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
