Wikipedia talk:Changing username/Assistance/Archive 1

Since bureaucrats often update WP:LA when promoting admins, it may be useful for bureaucrats or helpers to update that page when an admin changes their username. With usurpation, changes have become more frequent, and I have added User:NoSeptember/admin username changes to my admin project. NoSeptember 16:17, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Taking care of business

If I had to guess, this page probably isn't being too closely watched -- there isn't so much chatter at WT:CHU/U that taking care of the occassional business there would seem too daunting, I think? Just a hunch. The more people notice whatever communications we're trying to make amongst one another, the better. – Luna Santin (talk) 21:16, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

That seems to make sense. Perhaps a redirect is in order. — Dan | talk 21:18, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Its on my watchlist, but I agree that it might be better if our discussions were at WT:CHU and WT:CHU/U so they attract more attention. WjBscribe 21:19, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I think a redirect would be good also. --TeckWiz ^ParlateContribs_@ 02:50, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Misbehaviour

I think if people could note usernames who are under arbcomm etc restrictions that would be great. It's not essential, and would be a hassle but if you recognise a name linking in to restrictions would be cool. We check block logs etc but it all helps :)Secretlondon 01:16, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

{{renameuser}} links for usernames with spaces

As far as I can tell (I did a little testing) {{renameuser}} now generates all the links properly when there are spaces in a username passed to the template. (diff) This should be noted or the line that mentions the probelem with links and usernames with spaces should be removed. (second line under Tasks) --Jeremyb 07:27, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Clerk Resignation

Good afternoon fellow clerks and bureaucrats. In my 3 months (even though I registered on this page in October), I believe I have gained a very good understanding of what to do here and what not to do. This is one of those times. My position here has become quite controversial, with posts (which are all correct) on my talk page appearing more than twice. I have absolutely enjoyed working here, there is no doubt about that, but my time has come to go. I wish to let all other users carry this process on more smoothly. I would like to request one thing only, please don't view this as a "attention-seeking" act, because it's not. All the users, namely Qst, WJBscribe, Deskana and Jéské, have been extremely appreciative of my position, 100% supportive at all times and recommending new solutions to problems I may have encountered (or made!). They have helped me gain a greater understanding of what Wikipedia actually is, and after 6300 edits I have become to act upon this, I shall carry on my editing to articles hopefully trying to get them up to good article standard, or by reviewing others. Finally, I wish all the users here the best of luck and I may see you in the future, either at other processes or at CHU when I need (or want! :)) a name change. Thank you.

Suggestion

I've been leaving notes on requesters' talk pages when further input is required; it might make sense to suggest this on here —Random832 18:52, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
