This is a documentation subpage for Template:Renameuser. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

((Renameuser)) is generated automatically by clicking the button "Click here to request a username change at WP:CHUS, and is automatically converted to ((Renameuser2)) when the username change request is submitted. If, for example, your username is "Joe Bloggs" and you wish to change it to "Lorem ipsum" because you don't want to use a real name, the syntax should read like this:

((safesubst:Renameuser
 |CURRENT=((subst:REVISIONUSER)) <!-- The "((subst:REVISIONUSER))" will automatically fill in your username -- please do not touch it! -->
 |NEW=Lorem ipsum
 |REASON=I don't want to use a real name. ~~~~
))

If your request is submitted malformed, you may remedy it based on this syntax:

=== <span id="Joe Bloggs">Joe Bloggs</span> → Lorem ipsum ===

((renameuser2| 1=Joe Bloggs | 2=Lorem ipsum ))
* Datestamp: ~~~~~
* Reason: I don't want to use a real name. ~~~~
