Template:UsernameWarn

Hi, I'm ~~~. I've just noticed that your username may not meet our username policy.

This is not anything against you, and you are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our guidelines - we hope to see you editing again soon!

Our username policy says how you should choose your username. Put simply, you should not have a username that people find offensive, advertises a real world group or company, or is confusing (for instance, if it impersonates another user).

If you have already made changes and wish to keep your changes under a new name you may ask for us to rename your account. If you want to, please go here and ask for a new name. It will be changed by someone once they receive the request.

If you think that UsernameWarn fits inside the guidelines, feel free to tell me why on this page, and I'm sure we can come to some conclusion.

However, please be aware that the username you currently have, UsernameWarn may be blocked from editing without warning — if your name is listed here, you may want to tell people why you should not be blocked on that page.

Thanks again,

~~~~
