 :::I was basically thinking of something along those lines, and that sounds good. I still believe there's no reason to do more than one user name change per user sans the exceptions PoD mentioned, but if that doesn't become a restriction, I don't think that will be the end of the world.

+Here's a basic ruleset I was thinking of for the new section:
+*'''All change requests are decided on a case-by-case basis.''' There are many factors not included below that can influence a name change request.
+*'''Name changes are not to be taken lightly.''' Be sure you want to commit to your new username before you post a request, and know that even then it will be given a delay of a few days should you wish to retract it. Trying to change one's name a second time without a year or two between is unlikely to fly.
+*'''Make changes as small as possible.''' A significant name change will inconveniance the rest of the wiki as other users adapt to your new name, while a minor change is much easier to deal with.
+*'''Name changes are a privilege.''' While spelling fixes or unfortunate acronyms have slightly more leeway, users are generally expected to stick with the username they signed up with for their wiki career.
+Needs a bit of hammering but seems a good start. [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] [[Image:Toomai.png|20px|link=User:Toomai/Bin|???]] The Producer 23:59, 15 June 2012 (EDT)
