- The template can use server, member, previous/new level, previous/new XP, and XP-needed variables.
- Atom does not apply a template that is only {user_nickname}, {user_displayName}, or {user_username}.
- The generated nickname is trimmed to Discord’s 32-character nickname limit before Atom tries to apply it.
Choose a reversible, readable format
A useful preset keeps the member’s recognizable name and adds only the level context that people need. For example, place the member name and new level in a short consistent order. Avoid using a nickname change as the only proof of progress: members should still be able to view their rank and level normally.
Check Discord permissions and role order
Atom must have Discord’s Manage Nicknames permission and be allowed to manage the target member. Test with a non-staff account before enabling a server-wide template. Members or roles above Atom’s role cannot be updated, and a rejected nickname update should not be treated as a successful configuration.
Test the final rendered nickname
Try the template with a long display name and a high level. Atom substitutes the supported values, trims whitespace, and then slices the final nickname at 32 characters. Review the resulting name in Discord rather than assuming a template that looks short in a form will remain short after replacement.
Recommended sequence
- Open the level-up customization in Atom and enter a short nickname template.
- Ensure Atom has Manage Nicknames and is above the member roles it should manage.
- Use a staff test account to trigger or apply a level update.
- Check the resulting nickname, then remove the template if it is not an expected member experience.
