Yes, that was the rationale for the change. If you think about it, the rationale makes sense (at least on the profile header) I am 'Timothy', my aka on wikis is 'Rappy_4187'. That makes perfect sense.

What Wikia is not putting into perspective here is this: Wikis are NOT set up to identify users by their real names. This single statement goes against having the 'real name' listed first. I mean, what's next? Users are going to see Recent Changes show their real name instead of their user name? That would make sense with two features swapping the designations.

Please Wikia, reverse this decision. It is unneeded, unwanted, and not logical.
