Halopedia:Changing username
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
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, there are some limits:
- Each user may only change their name twice within one year.
- Changing & then reversing the change counts as two renames. So e.g. going from Alpha to Beta and back to Alpha wastes your rename privileges for the year. Therefore please be 100% sure you'll be happy with your name change!
- The wiki software does not allow usernames to begin with a lowercase letter. If you specify a lowercase first letter, it will be capitalized.
- All requests go at the bottom section of this page, not on the user talk pages of bureaucrats.
Previous renames are archived.
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 done twice this year).

It's to be consistent with my other accounts. Also, Interestin4me is funnier. Thanks!

I have two accounts that I made awhile ago that I always forget are my name and then I can't remember the names of the cars and then it locks me out and it is a whole thing, so I was hoping to just user merge em into one! Aces (talk) 09:31, April 10, 2025 (EDT)

This account is roughly a decade old, & none of the version of me that made it is relevant anymore. The name itself has bad memories attached to it, & since I'd like to be active in this community again, I'd like to have a name that's accurate to my new self.

I would like to go back to the name I had previously, which is 'amedfabre', simply because it is the psudonym I prefer to use, and it's consistent across all platforms.

Linken is my internet username / gamertag. When I made my account, I was using Robin at the time, but have since gone back to Linken.

Ditching the 72 across the board wherever possible, including on Discord and Xbox Live
- Did you intend to have two A's in front? It can't start with a lowercase letter, so if you want two A's it would be AAPickleJaR, or we could do AaPickleJaR. Let me know if you want either of those instead. --Porplemontage (talk) 14:25, July 2, 2026 (UTC)
- This is great! APickleJaR is fine with me. Thanks mate --APickleJaR 17:20, July 4, 2026 (UTC)

Changing username for consistency across platforms and avoid confusion on how it's written as fonts across different websites depict the letter 'L' differently, as well as to finally use the actual correctly intended word for my username.
