Question
what is the current edit count threshold for changing a username? — Ched : ? 12:31, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
- I've been assuming it's 50K for most of the last year but it's conceivable the goalposts have shifted once more. --Dweller (talk) 12:35, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
- do you know if I would lose my admin tools if I did so? — Ched : ? 12:42, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
- You mean, if we tried to change the name of an admin with >50K edits, would he lose his tools? I think the worry would be more about some edits reattributing and others not, rather than permissions. Or perhaps the software would simply refuse to do the rename. Someone more technical than me might know. But I'm not sure why this discussion is here, rather than at BN itself? --Dweller (talk) 12:52, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

- The limit was blown away when User:Kumioko was renamed, and hence shown to be historical. Shortly afterwards the guidance/policy was changed. Rich Farmbrough, 19:38, 26 May 2012 (UTC).
- You still keep log actions and things when you get renamed, and if you lose sysop tools, they could be re-granted by the renaming 'crat. --Thine Antique Pen (talk • contributions) 19:40, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
Retiring
Ok, I rarely use my bit anyways... so take it away.---Balloonman 14:33, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
- I see you haven't logged an admin action since February, but it's still necessary for other useful things such as viewing deleted revisions. Are you quite sure? WilliamH (talk) 14:38, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
- It'd be a shame to see Balloonman go, but he can always ask for the bit back as I don't believe he'd be leaving under a cloud. WilliamH, I know you're a little demoralised at the number of desysop's you've made recently, but second guessing Balloonman shouldn't be your role. Worm(talk) 14:43, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
