Forum:How do I change my username?

Hi. I would like to change my username because I have been on this site for over a year now and I want to change to something that best suits me. Is there a way to do this? X-Master 05:41, July 20, 2010 (UTC)Rocketman2462


 * Short answer is NO
 * Long answer is in effect YES, by registering a new account but all your old edits cannot be transfered from the old account (As the whole database would need updating on every edit you have done). Generally it is advised ot put a note on the old account saying you have changed names & then not to use the old account to edit or you could be called a socket puppet for using multiple accounts (which can result in a ban on some wikis). This is information in the help system but I canot remember were i've seen it. (Note: there are several similar threads on here with staff replies stating the above) - BulldozerD11 10:01, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
