Here's some information about how to get your username changed.
- To save wasting time asking for a name that's alredy been taken, go to Special:CentralAuth, type your name in the box, and click on the button. If the name is already in use you will see some details about the account with that name, and if it isn't in use you'll see a red message telling you there is no global account with that name. When you're found a suitable name come back here and post a message saying what the name is. If in that message you include {{ping|JBW}} and also make sure you finish the message with ~~~~ I will be automatically notified of your message, and will deal with it.
- Unfortunately even if you choose a username which hasn't already been taken, the system may refuse to do the rename if it's very similar to a username which has been taken. To avoid having to waste time coming back to try another name, you may like to suggest some alternatives in case your first choice doesn’t work.
- Once your username is changed, if you try to log in you'll be told you've used the wrong username or password. Just log in with the new username, and the same password as before. JBW (talk) 08:31, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
