Do you mean User:Lemenkov (or whatever your FAS user ID is)?
What I think you are looking to do is to do a ''move'', which is a tab
at the top of the page when you are logged in. This sets up a redirect
automatically. The rest of this is described here:

Thanks much for pointing out these feature pages to folks. MediaWiki
has many Special: pages that are great assistance to a community
documentation effort. Riding on MediaWiki/Wikipedia's experience in
pre-built wiki tooling is another benefit of this migration.
