Attention! Renaming accounts to an unified username no longer requires account deletion, bug 13507 is fixed now!
This page is where stewards can be requested to deal with problems relating to the recently-implemented unified login feature. These include:
  • Usurpation of accounts
  • Deletion of global accounts
  • Locking of global accounts

Cross-wiki requests
Meta-Wiki requests

Stewards: for instructions, see the steward handbook. The interface is at Special:CentralAuth.

Requests for locking global accounts

Here's a place where you can request accounts with offensive names or vandal-only contributions to be banned and hidden from the global user list.

Requests for usurpation or deleting global accounts

Here you can request your account deletion and usurpation on wikis without active bureaucrats, or request the deletion of a global account if you need to be renamed or to usurp an account elsewhere. Please add new requests at the bottom!
If you want to request the renaming of multiple accounts on wikis without local crats please use the format:

*{{Merging|YourName|language shortcut|project shortcut}}

example
*{{Merging|YourName|tpi|w}}
*{{Merging|YourName|ga|wikt}}
*{{Merging|YourName|gd|wikt}}
*{{Merging|YourName|fo|s}}
Please sign Your requests with --~~~~, thanks.


I was trying to create on en-wiki same account as on ru-wiki (ru:user:AVB), but this was prohibited because account en:user:Avb already exist. I create en:user:AVBr and by mistake link it into SUL. Now this SUL account interfere with my local ru-wiki account - when I log into en-wiki, this also re-logs on ru-wiki from local account AVB to AVBr. Please, fix this bad behavior or unlink my en:user:AVBr account from SUL. Thanks. -- 217.172.29.40 19:18, 28 July 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Hi, please confirm You are You by logging into en:user:AVBr and leaving a confirmation on Your talkpage, and then let us know here, thanks, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 12:49, 30 July 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
P.S., en:User:AVB seems to be You, so You can ask for renaming en:user:AVBr to en:user:AVB there, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 12:52, 30 July 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
  • Joining of AVBr changes into en:user:AVB/ru:user:AVB changes will be ideal soultion, thanks. If this not possible, you may just remove AVBr (there is not much of changes), because AVB now works fine (looks like SUL allows differently-cased accounts, unlike native wiki accouting). -- 217.172.29.40 10:47, 31 July 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

This login don't seem to be used... Can I use it? Thanks --Beeper 10:21, 30 July 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Hello, all those wikis have local crats, please ask for renames there (interwikilinks to the requestpages can be found on this page, or type special:listusers/bureaucrat into the searchfield on the local wiki), thanks. Please note that usurping might not be possible on some projects if the accounts have edits, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 12:43, 30 July 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
Thanks, I will try it. It better to use Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations for english wiki because finding someone could be annoying... ;-) Beeper 14:11, 30 July 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Crosslink interwiki links are on the respective pages, and for non of them the password works. Mion55 11:18, 1 August 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

I'm not sure the system is able to handle it, 2 more...

Hi Spacebirdy, now for me i don't care, its more about cleaning up because i am going to abandon the mion account anyway, problem inhere is i can move for example to the DE wiki and ask there, but i can't login there and have to reveal my IP number to do so, a lot of work for little edits. To keep it to Meta, the last request was concerning Meta, is that one possible ? Cheers Mion55 11:51, 1 August 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
Hi Mion, if You want to change Your accountname on Meta, please leave a note on Meta:Changing username, this here might not get noticed, also it is not quite obvious what exactly the request is about. Usurping Mion?.
To make requests on other wikis You could, just like here, make an account like Mion55 and ask for usurpation with it. We are not allowed to rename on wikis with local active crats, sorry, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 12:12, 1 August 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
yes, making a single purpose account is the solution, thanks for helping out, i'll give it a go. Cheers Mion55 12:25, 1 August 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
Following that link is about changing the accountname on Meta which is not the case, only about merge User:Mion, so should I stay here ? Mion55 12:29, 1 August 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
Merging two different names to one is not possible, we can only rename from one to another name :S --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 14:22, 1 August 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
I thought so, so I striped them, the problem is, none of the the passwords work on these accounts, so 1 way is to email me a new password for User:Mion(meta) to nl:Gebruiker:Mion after that I do Global unification of the Meta account with the dutch account.

I was trying to create on en-wiki and commons same account as on pt-wiki (pt:user:Crazyaboutlost), but this was prohibited because accounts en:user:Crazyaboutlost already exist. I need some help. Thanks in advance. Crazyaboutlost 02:16, 4 August 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Filed on your behalf. The local bureaucrats on those projects will have to accept and perform the renames for this to be completed. Please check on both those pages and here often. Kylu 02:59, 4 August 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

--RJM 04:01, 4 August 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

both unattached accounts, fr has 0 edits, fi has 1 edit.
Both projects have bureaucrats, however. I've filed rename requests on both projects. Kylu 05:31, 4 August 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
fi:Wikipedia:Käyttäjätunnuksen vaihto/pyynnöt#RJM → RJM (Usurped) not done: fi:User:RJM have GFDL-notable edits. In this case only way to obtain this user name is trying to contact user itself and request if (s)he is willing to change user name. Unfortunately user have not confirmed e-mail address so reaching user might be hard. Future, please use fi:WP:USURP if requested username exists. Thank you. --Agony 05:42, 4 August 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
