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.

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 the UserMerge extension is incompatible with CentralAuth. As such, we will not accept any request to merge user accounts as it is technically impossible at this moment to do so.

You shouldn't have made wrong allusions to a user who made ~33 thousand very good contributions and never made any devastating changes. --User:Abecesel

What illusions have we made? We simply said that the identity of the person making the request could not be guaranteed, that's all, we work according to the policies, for the protection of users and the project and we cannot do favors or exceptions for anyone. We told you to contact T&S to recover the account and you didn't want! If we cannot confirm who is making the requests, we cannot process them, it would have been easier to follow the suggestions rather of making useless arguments. Having said that, I will be looking at the various requests for vanish shortly, thanks for your contributions. --Superpes15 (talk) 16:34, 1 May 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
@Plumbum208, Ternarius, and Yger: First of all, since the user is currently blocked (with also a log of blocks) on svwiki, I'll ping the blocking admin to know if there are some oppositions to the vanish, or if this could be a problem for them. I also want to remind that the vanish is a "courtesy vanish", and not a mandatory procedure or a right. --Superpes15 (talk) 16:41, 1 May 2023 (UTC) [reply ]

TheAafi

Status: On hold

--─ The Aafī (talk) 12:23, 30 April 2023 (UTC) [reply ]

On hold until 30 May --Superpes15 (talk) 12:31, 30 April 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
@Superpes15, thanks for the informative edit summary. I take a note. I thought I was too early requesting for a rename, and decided to think for a while more. Is a redirect from Aafi possible to TheAafi? ─ The Aafī on Mobile (talk ) 13:52, 30 April 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
@TheAafi: Sure! You can usurp it without renaming "TheAafi", creating a new account to be renamed to "Aafi" (or we can create "Aafi" for you - as you're not sysop and can't create it even after the usurp), and then you can add a redirect from "Aafi" to "TheAafi"! If, instead, you still want to withdrawn, just write it here, otherwise we can also usurp without changing TheAafi :) --Superpes15 (talk) 14:19, 30 April 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
Alright @Superpes15. Please consider this request withdrawn. I will send a private request for the redirect. ─ The Aafī on Mobile (talk ) 15:23, 30 April 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
@TheAafi: If you withdraw this, Aafi cannot be usurped and you cannot create a redirect, please read again my message above, in which I explained the procedure (usurp without rename, creating a new account, adding a redirect), and confirm if you want to withdraw this! Superpes15 (talk) 15:32, 30 April 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
@Superpes15, I guess I was not able to get the whole of this likely because I have been occupied by a lot of discussions going on at the WikiConference India. I want Aafi to be redirected to TheAafi at a global level. I was just saying that I do not want TheAafi renamed to Aafi (that is what I actually was referring to by the term withdrawn. Please create the account "Aafi" for me and I will make the redirect. I hope this makes some sense now. ─ The Aafī (talk) 18:36, 30 April 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
No problems! Thanks for the confirmation, so you just have to wait until 30 May, when "Aafi" can be usurped and we'll contact you privately to create the new account (and send you the password) :) Superpes15 (talk) 19:04, 30 April 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
