This page hosts requests to stewards and global renamers for a username change across the entire Wikimedia network. Please read the instructions before posting a request.

This is also the page where the usurpation of inactive accounts can be requested.

Instructions

SUL finalization

If you are requesting a merge of a global account with one or more unconnected local accounts as part of finalizing your single unified login (SUL) username, please specify which wikis and accounts you want to merge into your global account. These accounts were typically named "account name~wikiname". Please note that we can only merge a local account into a global account when the global account has no edits on the same wiki as the local account.

How to add an entry here

To add an entry, please copy and paste the text below into the appropriate section.

=== Oldname ===
{{SRUC
|status = <!--don't change this line-->
|domain = global
|Oldname =
|Newname =
|reason = (your remarks here)
--~~~~
}}

Example

For global rename requests: 

=== Example ===
{{SRUC
|status     = <!--don't change this line-->
|domain     = global
|Oldname    = Example
|Newname    = Foo
|reason     = your remarks here
--~~~~
}}


Making a request for your own account

For changing your username on one wiki:

Please include the following information in your request:

  • the old username,
  • the new username,
  • please sign ~~~~ request with your account for a simple move (first section), or sign this request with both the originating and the target accounts if you are requesting a merge (second section).

If anything is missing from your request, a steward will request more information. This helps ensure that you are requesting a rename for your own account. Please check before posting your request that the username you want is available. You can test that by going to the (new) user page and looking into the sidebar. If there is a link to user contributions, the account already exists, or check via Special:CentralAuth.

Private requests

Account renames are not private, once renamed many links from the old username to the new username will be permanently made. The reason submitted on the rename form (Special:GlobalRenameRequest) is private, and only visible by the renamers. Additional information that needs to be made in private may be sent using this direct wiki-email interface while logged-in.


Simple rename requests

If your rename request is simple and does not involve usurpation of an existing account or other SUL issues, you have two options:

  1. Use the request form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest; or
  2. Submit the request below in this section.

Please use this tool to check if the username is taken before filing a request.

ERSAF@global

Status:    On hold
User Marina Anelli already exists. please choose another name. masti <talk> 14:16, 27 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
However, the user does meet the criteria for being usurped, as it has no edits. Omni Flames (talk) 01:11, 30 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Then this request needs to filed as a usurp request. This is a simple rename request.—cyberpower ChatHello! 09:02, 30 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

فلورانس@global

Status:    In progress

--فلورانس (talk) 00:57, 31 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@فلورانس: There are two issues with your request:
  • The requested username is already registered, see Special:CentralAuth/Florence. Please pick a new name.
  • You have not provided a reason for renaming. We only rename users that have a good or valid reason for doing so.

hi @K6ka: ok , plz Global Rename to (AFlorence) , this is OK? --فلورانس (talk) 01:38, 31 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Requests involving merges, usurps or other complications

Please add new requests at the end of the section. Sections should be titled your username and requests should be signed by the requesting user.
Please note: Per standard procedure, accounts with valid edits are not usurped, and the target account must be notified by renamer at least one month before usurpation.

Comment: The target username has 3 (now deleted) uploads to Commons [1]. Omni Flames (talk) 01:03, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks to the quick response - change or not? I 'm in FaWiki broad participation (High Activity) and for me this is an important change. Please ...--Derakhshan52 (talk) 07:50, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Please notify the target user of the request with {{usurpation requested}}.—cyberpower ChatHello! 16:06, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

┌─────────────────────────────────┘
 @Cyberpower678: I think you mean 2016... Omni Flames (talk) 08:13, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nah, it was totally intentional. Since he kept us waiting with the request, I decided to put his request on hold for 90 years. :p—cyberpower ChatHello! 08:15, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
:tongue: Omni Flames (talk) 08:19, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Well, considering we had a request that was scheduled to be completed on February 30, I can safely say that global renamers don't have a sense of dates. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 14:02, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Mb66w@global

Status:    On hold
I put the template on [3] but it does not expand on that wiki. Should I do something further? Mb66w (talk) 17:53, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I went ahead and put in the text from the template without using the actual template, but I do not know if this is sufficient. Mb66w (talk) 18:18, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
 On hold until July 28 2016.—cyberpower ChatHello! 20:05, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please notify the target user with {{usurpation requested}}. Omni Flames (talk) 22:29, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nevermind, looks like you did but spelled it wrongly. Fixed. Omni Flames (talk) 22:35, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

According to Special:CentralAuth/Class455, that account hasn't made any edits. Their contributions page on Commons says the same... Omni Flames (talk) 23:56, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

G88keeper@global

(resuscitated from /2016-06)

Status:    In progress

I've just noticed that en:User:G88keeper, a long-term but infrequent editor, has a Commons account that didn't get unified - presumably he didn't see the notifications. It's now at c:User:G88keeper~commonswiki. Can this be rectified with RenameUser, or does it fall under "global user account merges"? Thanks. — Scott • talk 16:22, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's fixable, but only Stewards have that power.—cyberpower ChatHello! 16:24, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
...and if the user is able to log in to that account, so he can complete the merge. Savhñ 16:39, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
{{not done}} No response.—cyberpower ChatHello! 23:09, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Bringing this back to life. I've now heard back from the user and he's confirmed that he can still log in. Can we move forwards with this please? Many thanks. — Scott • talk 20:06, 22 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Duch@global

Status:    Done
This looks relatively similar to the request directly above, so I'd assume it's possible also, but only with the help of a Steward. Omni Flames (talk) 01:22, 30 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Please visit commons:Special:MergeAccount to re-attach it to your SUL. Ajraddatz (talk) 01:27, 30 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, it works.Duch (talk) 21:32, 30 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Daylen@global

Status:    In progress

--Daylenca (talk) 21:45, 30 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Daylenca: Are you trying to usurp Daylen? If so, please leave a message on the target user's home wiki notifying them about this request. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 21:55, 30 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
