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.

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 and consensus, accounts with valid edits are not usurped, and the target account must be notified by renamer at least two weeks before usurpation.

We are sorry to announce that Global User Account Merges are not possible . As such, we will not accept any request to merge user accounts as it is technically impossible at this moment to do so.

{{notdone}} @Strebsan: In order to ensure that usurped usernames be put to good use, we prefer only to grant requests from reasonably well-established users. You can come back later when have established account. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 15:45, 2 July 2020 (UTC) [reply ]
Why? Formerly i was a 'well-established' user on here, I intended the name 'Strebsam' to begin with - The account isnt even on the standard wikipedia and its made no edits, I dont see the issue. Strebsan (talk) 19:16, 2 July 2020 (UTC) [reply ]
@Strebsan: Your current account Strebsan is registered week ago, we do not consider that well established. If you had another account you can mention that here or can email me if it's privacy issue. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 01:37, 3 July 2020 (UTC) [reply ]

To clarify, are you trying to usurp Ainz ooal gown and not Ainz Ooal Gown (which isn't registered)? —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 13:24, 9 July 2020 (UTC) [reply ]
If my account gets renamed to Ainz Ooal Gown (which isn't registered) it would be too similar to the already registered username Ainz ooal gown. So I want to usrup Ainz ooal gown instead of renaming my account to Ainz Ooal Gown. Masum Reza 📞 13:31, 9 July 2020 (UTC) [reply ]
Sorry, I don't quite follow. You're saying that you cannot register Ainz Ooal Gown but would like to use that username, right? If so, then we can rename Ainz ooal gown to another username (effectively "usurping" it) and then rename you to Ainz Ooal Gown. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 13:50, 9 July 2020 (UTC) [reply ]
Sure, that will work. Masum Reza 📞 14:41, 9 July 2020 (UTC) [reply ]
