Translations:Changing username/7/en


 * Before submitting a username change request
 * Username changes should usually be requested no more than once every 12 months.
 * This is not a hard rule, and mainly applies to arbitrary renames ("I don't like it"). Requests with stronger reasons sooner will be considered.
 * You should pick a username which you won't want to change any time soon.
 * Requested usernames cannot violate the Username Policy (have offensive words, etc.). If they do, the request will be declined.
 * Consider if the rename is meant to stick, or if you want to rebrand regularly. If you just want to restyle your name or appearance every so often, consider personifying your signature, user page and profile and treat your account name as just the technical name.
