Name Change Request
- Admin, could you remove the 14 from my name? Thanks!-- Japanimation My Talk 22:40, 1 December 2007 (EST)
- Done. (Admin 22:47, 1 December 2007 (EST))
- Much appreciated-- Japanimation My Talk 22:49, 1 December 2007 (EST)
- What, you're not 14 anymore? -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:49, 1 December 2007 (EST)
Name Changes
I'm curious about the technicalities involved in name changes. After you change names, it looks like you just move the user pages and user talk pages to the new username. But the old pages, which now contain redirects, aren't deleted. Am I right to assume that you block new users from taking the old username after moves? I'm not considering a name change atm, but I don't want there to be potential db holes if this continues to be an ongoing thing.--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:18, 1 December 2007 (EST)
- The old redirects will be deleted, I'm just leaving them temporarily until Japanimation changes all the old links over to his new name. As part of the name change process the requestor needs to be willing to update all the links to their old name so that it's all cleared out in case someone else registers it in the future. I forgot to point this out explicitly before this particular name change, but I don't think there will be a problem. (Admin 23:21, 1 December 2007 (EST))
- That can be a lot of updates for some users. Japanimation is relatively new, so it's not that big of a problem. Maybe you can check into whether the bot could help with that for future changes. Just a thought.--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:30, 1 December 2007 (EST)
- It can't do it currently, but in time as I add more functionality it may be able to. (Admin 23:32, 1 December 2007 (EST))
