[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Moderator no. 22349", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because while we don't formally have a position called "moderator", your name could still mislead other users into thinking you have specific permissions. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you.

- Trueeee, okay I have applied for a name change. They should do like an automatic flagging for such things. I thought it was a funny name but I can see how it can be problematic. Thanks! Moderator no. 22349 (talk) 19:00, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
- Great! Also, good idea, I wonder if setting up an edit filter for this has been considered. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 21:54, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
- After looking, it is indeed in the list of words meant to be automatically flagged at Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention, but somehow you got lucky and didn't trigger it. Really thinking it could be good to alert the users in the non-obvious cases like this one (where the username policy is technically broken, but it might just be someone wanting a funny username rather than clear vandalism).
