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), oder 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:    Done

--Maooz180 (talk) 00:04, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Maooz180: your target account is not eligible for usurpation as it has important edits (that have not been reverted) on the French Wikipedia. Please choose a different name. --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 15:55, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Atcovi: I would then like to change my name from Maaz to Ma'az. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Maooz180 (talk)

KIeio

Status:    Done

--KIeio (talk) 17:30, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@KIeio: the target account is not avaliable for usurpation. Please choose another name. Thank you! --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 21:08, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Atcovi: Ah well, it was worth a try. I would then like the name Mnemosientje, if possible. KIeio (talk) 22:12, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@KIeio: is it ok if I remove "Thalatta" to "Mnemosientje" and move this request to "Simple rename requests" (as "Mnemosientje" is not an existing account)? --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 14:27, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Atcovi: Sure, go ahead. KIeio (talk)
 Note: Moved to simple and template updated. Nihlus 23:44, 4 December 2017 (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.

분당선M

Status:    In progress
@분당선M: we generally cannot usurp usernames when they have non-vandalism content contributions. Is there any other username you want to use? – Ajraddatz (talk) 00:17, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If it is possible can you rename into "Youngjin+" If not able to please let me know--DangSunM (talk) 00:44, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It isn't possible to put + in a username, sorry. – Ajraddatz (talk) 00:47, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Ajraddatz, Than if it is possible to put "*" in end of username, making "Youngjin*" --DangSunM (talk) 17:47, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That one doesn't work either. Most special characters (all special characters?) don't work in usernames. You could use Youngjin1 instead. – Ajraddatz (talk) 20:40, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hello from counterexample. — regards, Revi 19:57, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
^^ Like his case It should be work to rename into "*Youngjin" which I feel okay to be rename. I have seen several renamed case to such as revi or several else, so should be fine. --DangSunM (talk) 20:00, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
PS: Special:CentralAuth/*devunt, Special:CentralAuth/~riley, Special:CentralAuth/Mailzzang+aus. Two of them were renamed from other usernames. — regards, Revi 20:11, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
*Youngjin should be good to go imo, unless Ajraddatz have some other opinion, I'll proceed with T182143. — regards, Revi 20:06, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No concerns. I said most characters, not all ;-). If that one works then no problem from me. – Ajraddatz (talk) 20:23, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

เจ้าชายแห่งวงการเกรียน

Status:    In progress

--เจ้าชายแห่งวงการเกรียน (talk) 11:49, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@เจ้าชายแห่งวงการเกรียน: Your account cannot be usurped because, according to the Requests for comment/Usurpation policy, you must have at least 400 edits (you only have 31) or be an administrator on a project, which, currently, you don't hold sysop rights on any WMF projects. --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 12:54, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
 Note: Moved from Simple section. --Terra ❤ (talk) 12:57, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

JohnM~enwiki

Status:    In progress

--JohnM~enwiki (talk) 20:00, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@JohnM~enwiki: Unfortunately, that user has over 3,000 edits so even though they are inactive they have priority on the username. You are free to choose a different name to be renamed to, though - you can visit Special:CentralAuth to see if it is available. – Ajraddatz (talk) 20:01, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
