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.

Status:    Not done
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]

--Pfelling (talk) 00:58, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Pfelling: You're currently blocked on the English Wikipedia; as I see you have an unblock review ongoing there, I'm going to put this request on hold, in order to prevent confusion amongst English Wikipedia administrators. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 23:06, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Sabbathbloodness: I noticed that you are currently blocked on ml.wikipedia.org. Could you please explain that block? —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 18:49, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That block is due to the fact that I have tried to add information in that language about Queen (band) but while I used merely a dictionary and dismissed grammar and insisted on my mistakes they have blocked me. "Sabbathbloodness (talk) 19:17, 13 August 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.

--Class455fan1 (talk) 20:38, 19 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]
Setting this on hold for some time to allow possible replies, if any. —MarcoAurelio 11:11, 20 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]
@K6ka: Looks like the user has now notified the target username of this request. Omni Flames (talk) 09:28, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Skiwi

Status:    In progress

--202.175.143.143 08:37, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So you can't log in at all? What if you try logging into meta using the username Skiwi~metawiki? Omni Flames (talk) 09:28, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This unfortunately something only a steward can fix as every individual account needs to be renamed to the requested name, and then the user needs to logon to one of those accounts under the new name and SUL unify all of them.—cyberpower ChatHello! 21:18, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If you cannot log your account, You can change password with the mail (But only if you have the mail confirmed). If you don't have a mail confirmed, you need to create a new account. Sorry and thanks. --Rolodata (talk) 08:51, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The account "Skiwier" already exists. You could start the usurpation process (notifying the user and waiting), or choose a different username to which I can rename the enwiki, enwikivoyage, commons, meta and enwiktionary accounts, which are those with edits. Savhñ 20:41, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

M777@global

Status:    In progress
Sorry but the username you requested has made significant edits. Please pick another name.—cyberpower ChatHello! 08:05, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Pinging M777. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 11:41, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
