![]() | This page documents an English Wikipedia behavioral guideline. Editors should generally follow it, though exceptions may apply. Substantive edits to this page should reflect consensus. When in doubt, discuss first on the talk page. |
This page consists of guidelines as to how global renamers approach requests at Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple and at Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations. Renames are a matter of discretion and renamers may depart from the guidelines where there is good reason to do so.
As a pre-note, remember, for usurpations, if User:xyz is usurping User:abc, it is necessary to rename "User:abc" to "User:abc (usurped)" to vacate the abc name for xyz.
