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.

@Neriah: account was created 9 days ago and usurpation is only for well-estabilished users. In addition, they already made a request a few days ago and it was rejected. AramilFeraxa (Talk) 16:42, 15 November 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
This is an additional username of a veteran user (user:Yar), who lost the password for this additional account. The account is intended for different purposes than the main account, so there's no need to wait for account establishment - which is meant to prevent usurp for accounts that won't be in use. The previous request was rejected by a user who wasn't familiar with the background of the previous request (the background can be found in the link that the user attached to the request), and therefore I asked the user here to resubmit their request. Best regards, Neriah - 💬 - 21:41, 16 November 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
Alright, thank you for the clarification. AramilFeraxa (Talk) 22:04, 16 November 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

Uploader_xyz

Status: Not done

--Uploader xyz (talk) 09:38, 1 December 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

Not done, got blocked on dewiki hours ago, this is clearly an attempt to obfuscate bad conduct + a username which is a referring to the block reason. --TenWhile6 11:30, 1 December 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
Blocked by the sect. :) --Uploader xyz (talk) 11:35, 1 December 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

Uploader_xyz

Status: Not done

--Uploader xyz (talk) 11:35, 1 December 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

Not done, Gaming the system. Same reason as above: obfuscation, blocked on dewiki. --TenWhile6 12:17, 1 December 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
This is POV and is bullshit anyway, because the posts of a user are signed and no matter what the username is, the signature always links to that very specific user, no matter how often the user changes the username. TenWhile6 is not in the positon to take a neutral point of view here. --Uploader xyz (talk) 14:19, 1 December 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
Thats wrong. Read the Global rename policy and Meta:Civility, stop edit-warring and re-requesting username changes, they will not be done. If you continue this, you might get blocked from editing. TenWhile6 15:04, 1 December 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

Uploader_xyz

Status: Not done

--Uploader xyz (talk) 13:34, 1 December 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

I‘m leaving this for another renamer to decide (while this is clear...), please note that the two requests above got rejected because of a pretty new indef block on dewiki. TenWhile6 15:12, 1 December 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
Not done Your account is blocked on the German Wikipedia. — JJMC89 (T ·C) 15:18, 1 December 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
