I was recently browsing through Meta, when I came across  which was made a Community wiki. When I was looking through it, I realized that the user who had asked the question, () had changed his username from &quot;Sonic the Masked Werehog&quot; to &quot;Sonic the Curiouser Hedgehog&quot; (presumably) after the question that they asked was made Community Wiki.  Is this a bug? or a feature that was left as-is like the &quot;feature&quot; that usernames mentioned in comments do not change after the user has changed their name?

On a whim the other day, I changed my meta name from Lord Torgamus to Popular Demand.  I just noticed that the old name has "stuck" to the author tag of ; everywhere else on meta, my new name displays as expected.  Is this a feature?  Is it a bug?  Mostly I'm just curious, as I can't think of a strong reason in favor of keeping this behavior or a strong reason for changing it.  A question somewhat like this has been raised before as , but the previous poster implied that the issue had something to do with migration, which my situation shows is not the case.

Some questions and answers are marked Community Wiki and are owned by a community wiki user:  (In fact, this very question is one of them)  Why have Community Wiki posts? How do Community Wiki posts work? How does a post become a Community Wiki post? How can the Community Wiki status be removed from a post? How can I find Community Wiki posts?

I made a mistake in the username at the time of installation. So I changed the name of the user after logging in by creating a guest account with SUDO rights. But when I checked the list of users using ls /home command I am not seeing the new name for the user instead Old name is appearing. But I use the new name to login.   Is it like I need to change the name inside Home directory separately? Also , if there is any other changes needs to be done .. ?

It's been more than a month since I have started using . It has these users with user names in the format of "user-random number". I have observed them in some of the stack activities, most of the time asking questions.   Does the moderators create them for their own purpose. If yes what purpose do they serve?   I mean a user is free to have any user name. But it's just a hunch that such users are actually moderators. I may be wrong; just need some clarification.

After finding , I thought about inspecting Community's ♦ profiles. What did I notice? Community ♦ have more than 1 rep on some meta sites.    - 5 rep  - 3 rep  - 3 rep  - 3 rep   Why is it?

If the Community user bumps a question, It says It has modified it:    However, It did not really modify the question, It rather just visited it. The word "modified" is a bit unfortunate IMHO because it suggests that something changed in the question or its answers, which is not true. I therefore suggest that we look for another word which would be more descriptive and less confusing. Some come to my (and others') mind:   visited, poked, bumped, promoted, dredged up, brought up, ...   (Actually, "Bumped" is even officially used now:  and .)  I'm not a native speaker and maybe someone find a better word. To me, visited sounds the best, but that may be only me. It makes sense, too, since Community really just visits the questions, with the site-effect of them getting bumped. It shouldn't confuse anybody.  Actually, it can be harmful in some sense, since , and it is interesting to know that this has happened, so that more people can check that the edit makes sense. You therefore can't simply ignore all "edited by Community" messages. (Thanks to Monica Cellio for pointing it out.)  (Remark: I know this has been questioned before (    ) but I think it has never been requested to change the action title to something more descriptive. If I'm wrong, I apologize.) (The "lying" it the question title is meant as a sarcasm)

I just saw a user named: .yahoo.co.jpaqwsykcj3aulh3h1k0cy6nzs3isj  Could new users be named according to their user-number, or something other than "Unknown"? Perhaps User1234567 instead? It would be less awkward to address them in answers and comments.   Additionally, I often times have to check profiles to make sure users aren't abusing the system, since I find many of the same questions from "unknown (google)" from time to time. That, or I'll mistakenly think I've helped the user on a similar issue in the past, and assume the user has knowledge that he or she does not have.

I'm trying to change my Minecraft username. I've logged onto my Mojang account, but can't find where to change my username.  When I log in, it should show me the games by Mojang that I own, as well as my username for them. However, it only shows me "My Gift Codes", and won't let me scroll up or down. I've tried videos, I went to the Mojang help site, and even my best friend isn't having this problem. Any ideas?

On the bottom of questions tab of the user profile, there is a link that states "Deleted recent questions".    This links to http://site.stackexchange.com/users/recently-deleted-questions/xxxxx.  The title of the page is 'User Flair', which seems odd in itself.  What is this page meant to show?  Whenever I have looked at it it is blank for me, to test I deleted  on Android.SE however six hours later the recently deleted questions page was still blank.    Is this feature not working, am I incorrectly interpreting it (for example is it only moderator/community deleted questions) or was my experiment a failure due to long term caching? Having now re-read the link I see that whilst the title is "Recently deleted questions", the link is to "deleted recent questions" - does the question have to have been recently asked?

It looks like the Community Wiki checkbox is no longer appearing on the ask/edit question page, making it difficult to mark questions Community Wiki.  Where is it, and how is one supposed to mark a question as CW now?

If a user makes an edit to a tag wiki that subsequently becomes orphaned, the activity entries on their profile are left looking a bit broken. For example,  shows the following:    I believe that it used to say something like "orphaned wiki" in the marked sections, which would be preferable to nothingness.

What is the reasoning behind the design decision to allow users to create a display name which matches another existing users exactly?    This is opposed to the common practice of enforcing unique user names, and I'd really like to learn something.

The  makes use of the term "the author."  When Bob makes a post, it's obvious Bob "owns" the content, but what happens when he checks the Community Wiki button? Does it become the property of the Stack Overflow community? Even if Bob is the only one to have edited it?  Say I were to use a Community Wiki answer for something or other &#8212; say, in a book &#8212; who would I attribute the content to?

As far as I know, the diamond symbol is given to the folks who  are the community elected moderators, for example,  are employees of the Stack Exchange, Inc., for example,   In those regards,  is neither a , nor is he a part of the  since March 1st, 2012. So my question is, other than the fact that he is the , is there any other reason why he still has the diamond symbol next to his name and whether he can still exercise his moderation abilities? :) Note: I do not have any problems with him having the Diamond Symbol. I just wanted to know the reason and whether he still has those privileges or not. In fact, I'd be very happy to know that he still has those privileges because, you know, he knows the site, the Best. :) Note: as of October 2017, .

The discussion in  led me to think of a real question. What display names and avatars are off-limits on the Stack Exchange network?  I think I remember seeing a fake Jeff Atwood in the past on Meta, and a fake Jon Skeet on SO. If I recall correctly, the former had to change his name and the latter got banned.  Is a fake Barack Obama okay? What about Steve Jobs? James Gosling? What if a user's legal name is William Gates, but he's not "that" Bill Gates? Does the choice of avatar make a difference?

I always wondered if users get notified about comments were their name was edited in afterwards.  Example:  I write a comment     See this link here   then I edit it to     @someuser: See this link here   Does the user get notified now?
