Template:UsernameDiscussion
Hello, UsernameDiscussion. Concerns have been raised that your username may be incompatible with policy. You can contribute to the discussion about it at the page for requests for comment on usernames. Alternatively, if you agree that your username may be problematic and are willing to change it, it is possible for you to keep your present contributions history under a new name. Simply request a new name at Wikipedia:Changing username following the guidelines on that page, rather than creating a whole new account. Thank you. ~~~~
This template is to notify a user of a WP:RFC/NAME discussion opened on their username (Please use {{subst:UsernameNotice}} to notify anyone else about this RFC).
