This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Jeremyb (talk | contribs) at 07:27, 2 August 2007 ({{tl|renameuser}} links for usernames with spaces). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Since bureaucrats often update WP:LA when promoting admins, it may be useful for bureaucrats or helpers to update that page when an admin changes their username. With usurpation, changes have become more frequent, and I have added User:NoSeptember/admin username changes to my admin project. NoSeptember 16:17, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Taking care of business

If I had to guess, this page probably isn't being too closely watched -- there isn't so much chatter at WT:CHU/U that taking care of the occassional business there would seem too daunting, I think? Just a hunch. The more people notice whatever communications we're trying to make amongst one another, the better. – Luna Santin (talk) 21:16, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That seems to make sense. Perhaps a redirect is in order. — Dan | talk 21:18, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Its on my watchlist, but I agree that it might be better if our discussions were at WT:CHU and WT:CHU/U so they attract more attention. WjBscribe 21:19, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think a redirect would be good also. --TeckWiz ParlateContribs@ 02:50, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Misbehaviour

I think if people could note usernames who are under arbcomm etc restrictions that would be great. It's not essential, and would be a hassle but if you recognise a name linking in to restrictions would be cool. We check block logs etc but it all helps :)Secretlondon 01:16, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can tell (I did a little testing) {{renameuser}} now generates all the links properly when there are spaces in a username passed to the template. (diff) This should be noted or the line that mentions the probelem with links and usernames with spaces should be removed. (second line under Tasks) --Jeremyb 07:27, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
