Username Change Request

Hi there. Looking to change my username so as to not include parts of my name anymore and maybe for consistency across socials. Hoping I can get KingKairos, but I believe somebody may already have an account under this name. If that's the case, ApexAxiom would be my backup option.

Cquick00 (talk) 16:50, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

Was able to rename the account to ApexAxiom. Landfish7 17:30, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

After you decide on a new username, post it here, and a member of the LB will follow through with it. → SuperPikaPool13 19:56, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

Request to change my username so that it matches my username on Wikipedia

Hello, I request that my username here, SilSinn9801, be changed to SilSinn9821 so that it matches the same username I was forced to adopt on Wikipedia (as User:SilSinn9801 was already taken there by a different person). I am requesting this to maintain cross-wiki name consistency across all the MediaWiki platforms I edit on, & to avoid any confusion with that other Wikipedia user who had sniped my old username there. ‐⁠‑SilSinn (TIDs: 768426^S, 123446^UM) 💬 03:27, 31 August 2025 (UTC)

Apologies for the delay. This username change has been completed. Landfish7 16:52, 8 September 2025 (UTC)

This is done. Landfish7 14:10, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

Username change request

Can my username be changed to Cube? I find my current username to be immature. MangoSlice (talk) 07:59, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for your request. We are not currently considering username changes for accounts that are not in good standing. If your account has not received any additional warnings or sanctions in 3 months from the time of this comment, you may resubmit your request and we can revisit it then. Landfish7 02:15, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi, 3 months has passed, can my username be changed now? MangoSlice (talk) 00:39, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

Is the name "MangoSlice" available? MangoSlice (talk) 01:20, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

Done. Landfish7 22:03, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

Done. Landfish7 17:10, 15 March 2026 (UTC)

BobRocks20 -> SuguriSweet

FireLordSSBU is the name I use on most other sites, and honestly I have no personal connection to my current name (Lugia+Ho-Oh) anymore... If my username could be changed to FireLordSSBU it would be great, thanks! Lugia+Ho-Oh (talk) 02:06, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

Done. Landfish7 02:41, 2 June 2026 (UTC)
