Renamer note: It appears that you are confusing your
username for an
article. Your username is the name of the account you use to log in to Wikipedia. Every user has a
userpage, which is their username prefixed with "User:" (e.g.
User:K6ka is my userpage). An article is any page in the
main namespace, and does not have a prefix. For example, the
Food article doesn't have a prefix to it. Articles are not linked to usernames or userpages; they are a separate entity. Your current userpage can be located by going to
Special:MyPage. Also, every user has a
user talk page, which is their username prefixed with "User talk:" (e.g.
User talk:K6ka is my user talk page); this page is used to leave messages for and communicate with the user it belongs to.
I can still process your username change request. Please read
our guidelines on using your real name, and then feel free to leave a note here acknowledging that you have read the above and want to go ahead with this request. Thanks, —
