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:
- Use the request form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest; or
- Submit the request below in this section.
Please use this tool to check if the username is taken before filing a request.
Pennenetui3000
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Pennenetui3000 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Bepkoyt (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Original (and better) name, it's more useful to have my MediaWiki name harmonised with other accounts.
- @Pennenetui3000 Are you sure? This might mess some of the redirects that were set during previous rename, which you might have to fix manually. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 03:55, 25 April 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
Tocdoso1Bot
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Tocdoso1Bot (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: NDKDDBot (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Bot's username should reflect its operator's. NDKDD and Tocdoso1 are both my accounts; see account creation log. While I can no longer access NDKDD (it was meant to be a throw-away), the other two's confirmation will be given below, and I hope that would be sufficient.
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, accounts with valid edits are not usurped, and the target account must be notified by renamer at least one month before usurpation.
Rohit klar
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Rohit klar (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: RohitSaxena (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I requested for changing my user name from Rohit_klar to Rohit_Saxena as I wanted to use my real full name as user. User RohitSaxena is already taken, but I don't see that user active and have zero edits. My request is either allow usurpation of user ID RohitSaxena or allow me to change my user ID to Rohit_Saxena as this is unlikely to cause any conflict since the user doesn't have any edits to their credit. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rohit klar (talk) 19:05, 20 March 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
- (non-global renamer comment) Moved from talk. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 21:56, 20 March 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
- @NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh: thanks --Superpes15 (talk) 22:13, 20 March 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
- Hi @Rohit klar:, do you want to be renamed to "Rohit Saxena", or do you want to usurp "RohitSaxena" (do you want the nickname with space or without it)? Regards Superpes15 (talk) 22:13, 20 March 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
- Hi @Superpes15:, I want to usurp "RohitSaxena" if it is possible, since there are no edits with this user name. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rohit klar (talk) 21:47, 23 mar 2022 (UTC)
- @Rohit klar: Many thanks for your reply. As I said above to another user, since RohitSaxena is registered on enwiki, if you want you can submit the same request on this page on enwiki. The waiting time for usurpation is seven days on enwiki, while on this page it's one month. Just tell us how you want to proceed. Regards --Superpes15 (talk) 21:54, 23 March 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
- @Rohit klar: (2nd ping) Superpes15 (talk) 15:55, 28 March 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
- @Superpes15: I am okay to do it here itself even if it takes one month. Rohit klar (talk) 13:57, 29 March 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
- On hold until 29 April. Many thanks for reply. Superpes15 (talk) 15:30, 29 March 2022 (UTC) [reply ]

Moo12101
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Moo12101 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Moo1210 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Would rather not have 1 in front of my name. I go by moo1210 on all other platforms. User has only ever edited a sandbox page.
- @Moo12101: On hold until 29 April Superpes15 (talk) 15:34, 29 March 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
MONUMENTA
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: MONUMENTA (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Althair (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I prefer the new name to the old one, which is also in capital letters.
On hold until 30 April --Superpes15 (talk) 09:08, 30 March 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
SD hehua
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: SD hehua (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Hehua (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I want to remove the redundant "SD" in my username, and the new name has 0 edit and only in zhwiktionary. Another request, I am afraid I won't have time to deal with the necessary things after changing my username per preparing for the College Entrance Exam on June 7 and 8. So can you put my request on hold to June 9?Thank you!
- On hold until 9 June --Superpes15 (talk) 09:26, 21 April 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
Melberg
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Melberg (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: DerFuchs (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Due to specific events and general attempt to distance real identity from the one in Wiki.
On hold until 26 May (user also notified via mail) --Superpes15 (talk) 12:32, 26 April 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
Against the current
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Against the current (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Kansan (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I was an admin on Simple years ago. I changed my username on English only some years ago. I am returning to editing. I find myself confused by the two different names, and even accidentally made an edit under the wrong name on English. I'd just like one username for all projects, which would be Kansan. Against the current (talk) 03:31, 26 April 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
- @Against the current and Kansan: Please note that account merging is technically impossible at the moment. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 06:35, 26 April 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
- @علاء Looks worthy of that extra effort. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 12:39, 26 April 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
Hello @Against the current:, as mentioned above that "merging is technically impossible", but we can replace:
- Against the current@enwiki with Kansan@enwiki
- Against the current@enwikivoyage with Kansan@enwikivoyage
Are you comfortable with these changes? --Alaa :)..! 14:24, 26 April 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
- Yes I am. Against the current (talk) 23:14, 26 April 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
