 *Each user may only change their name '''twice within one year'''.
 *Changing & then reversing the change '''counts as two renames'''. So e.g. going from Alpha to Beta and back to Alpha wastes your rename privileges for the year. Therefore please be ''100% sure you'll be happy with your name change!''
 *All requests go '''at the bottom section of this page''', not on the user talk of bureaucrats.

 __TOC__
-== How To ==
-#Create a sub-section under "Requests" for ''each'' name change, with the title "(Oldname) to (Newname)".
+== Instructions ==
-#At the top of the section, use {{tem|renameuser}} and its two variables, first the current username (case-sensitive) to the desired username (also case-sensitive).
+#Create a new subsection at the bottom of the page using this syntax: <code><nowiki>=== CurrentName to NewName ===</nowiki></code>
-#Leave a comment as to why you want the change after the template, and submit. It does not matter if the 2nd name (after the &rarr;) is red (pages uncreated) or green (pages created previously), though in most cases it will be red.
+#Below this, use {{tem|renameuser}} and put both your current and desired names (both case-sensitive), using this format: <code><nowiki>{{renameuser|CurrentName|NewName}}</nowiki></code>
-#Bureaucrats will check this page daily and if accepted can use the "Rename" link on the top-right corner of each section to directly change the username and move all userspace pages.
+#Leave a comment as to why you want the change after the template and then save the page.
-#The bureaucrat should say accepted or rejected in each section, and if rejected, why (such as already done twice this year).
+#Bureaucrats will check this page regularly and if accepted can use the "Rename" link on the top-right corner of each section to directly change the username and move all userspace pages.
+#The bureaucrat will say whether the name change is accepted or rejected in each section, and if rejected, why (such as already done twice this year).
