Template:RFCUsername
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This page is for bringing attention to usernames which may be inappropriate under Wikipedia's username policy. Before listing a username here, consider if it should be more appropriately reported elsewhere, or if it needs to be reported at all:
- For blatantly inappropriate usernames, such as usernames that are obscene or inflammatory, post to Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention.
- For other cases involving vandalism, personal attacks or other urgent issues, try Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
- If the username is NOT blatantly inappropriate, and the user has made no edits, do not post as there is no need to take any action.
- If you wish to contest or question the blocking of a user by an administrator, please do not post the issue here. Instead, discuss the block with the blocking administrator or with other administrators.
- Make sure that the user in question has not already been blocked prior to bringing their username here.
- The user in question should first be notified on their talk page about the concern regarding their username before adding the report here.
You may wish to use {{subst:uw-username}} for this purpose. Do not list a user here unless they have refused to change their username or have continued to edit without reply. If after that you still believe someone has chosen an inappropriate username under Wikipedia's username policy, you may list it here and explain which part of the username policy you think it violates.
