=== Schizombie → Шизомби ===
* Datestamp: 02:49, 24 August 2025 (UTC)
{{renameuser2|1=Schizombie

|2=Шизомби
}}
* Reason: I've been using Шизомби as my sig for three years; in all that time I only recall two accounts, curiously both recently, ever suggesting a problem with it. ([[Wikipedia:Username#Non-English_usernames]] and [[Wikipedia:Signatures#Non-Latin]] encourage but don't require a partial Latin name/signature; non-Latin names weren't mentioned when I started doing it ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Username_policy&oldid=43204230 username policy historical revision] [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Signatures&oldid=42032799 signatures historical revision]. Perhaps I would create a redirect from [[User:Schizombie]]. I'd be happy with [[User:Шизомби]] as as username as submitted here (which is what it is on the German WP and maybe elsewhere) and use Шизомби (Sz) as a sig or even [[User:Шизомби (Sz)]] as a name, so talk page replies could use just Sz to abbreviate if they wished. There was a [[User:SZ]], but only active for one day on one article five years ago [[Special:Contributions/SZ]], so that shouldn't foster any confusion. I could create a redirect at [[User:Sz]] too (or are disambigs acceptable for username pages not in use?), if that would help.
