Instructions

[edit ]

SUL finalization

[edit ]

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

[edit ]

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

[edit ]

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

[edit ]

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

[edit ]

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

[edit ]

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.

Blimey, I created a bit of a mess, sorry about that. What happened was that at first I made a request to change my username from Roopeank —> LasseKeskinen. Then nothing happened for a while and my email wasn’t working so I thought that didn’t go through. Additionally, it was only after making the first request that I found out an option to usurp a username was even possible. That’s why the name I first requested was so similiar to this just without a spacebar. However, I fear the current situation I ended up in creates even more ambiguity, and if possible I’d like to continue forward with the usurpation. So that now my username would be changed from LasseKeskinen —> Lasse Keskinen. Again, apologies for any inconveniences caused by this. --LasseKeskinen (talk) 14:45, 29 July 2026 (UTC) reply
@LasseKeskinen: No problem, I saw that you have been renamed! Don't worry, I'll fix this request, next time please ask some stews/renamers how to proceed, to avoid any issue :) --Superpes15 (talk) 15:47, 29 July 2026 (UTC) reply
