Welcome ContributorSIG! Now that you've joined Wikipedia, there are registered editors!

Hello ContributorSIG. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm Paine Ellsworth, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge. Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type  here on your talk page and someone will try to help. To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Mypage/sandbox&action=edit&preload=Template:User_Sandbox/preload create your own personal sandbox] for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put  on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Please remember to: The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
 * Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the OOUI JS signature icon LTR.png button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes  at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.
 * Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.

 Sincerely,  P. I. Ellsworth , ed.  put'r there 14:59, 15 September 2019 (UTC)    [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Paine_Ellsworth&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Welcome_to_Wikipedia/user-talk_preload (Leave me a message)]

Rename
Changing signatures and mentions of your former username are not part of the rename process. Sorry, Cabayi (talk) 18:28, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I have done what you requested. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:52, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Email
Concerning your email, would know more than I, but like for Signatures (see above), retroactively editing logs is usually not done after an account rename. And even if it was possible, it's such a rare case that it's not really worth dealing with the programming hassle.

Many people do create redirects from old to new accounts, this way signatures and people looking for the old account are pointed to the new user account. I would suggest doing that. &#32; Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 19:57, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

I can't really devote time implementing something one-off like this without benefit to the larger community. But I only see the old username on a few archive pages according to your link. Surely, you can change them manually? — HELL KNOWZ   ▎TALK 08:41, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Of course, I can edit the pages myself, I just didn't know if that was ok with you. Sorry if my question was redundant, I'm still learning my way around Wiki. ContributorSIG (talk) 10:24, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure people have done this before, so it shouldn't be an issue. It's somewhat pointless, but it's equally harmless. As for being article alerts specific archives, there's no problem for the bot or us, they can be edited. — HELL KNOWZ   ▎TALK 11:01, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
