- New Username: YoshiRulz (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: The name I use everywhere else, including for "professional" work in various tech communities. Didn't realise until I went to request rename that the account existed (with 0 edits) and was tied to an email I can still access.

- New Username: Hadrón (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: Hi! I was told I may appeal here with a request. My request was denied a few days ago because I was renamed a month ago, and it’s not recommended to do so frequently. It was also rejected because there are similar names (Hadron, HADRON). In response, I’d like to clarify that none of those matches have valid edits or are well-established Wikipedians. Regarding the other concern, I understand that renaming frequently is not ideal. I understand the reasoning, so that’s why I’d like this to be my final request. Regards.
- Not done You changed your username less than a month ago. Please wait at least six months from the last rename before submitting a new request. – DreamRimmer (talk) 04:34, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
Ysabella
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Ysabella (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Ziv (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: My dear stewards. I've been using the nickname Ysabella since 1995 in the internet, and I've also been on the German-language Wikipedia since November 2008 with that name. However, I don't sign with Ysabella, only with Ysa, because it's much shorter and more pleasant and I don't like the "Bella" that much. I'm not a Bella! After this long time, I am open to a change and a new nickname.
I like to request the usurpation of Special:CentralAuth/Ziv. I really love this name as it is short and memorable. It's hebrew an means brightness, brilliance, glory, effulgence. Ziv has only 4 edits made on May 4, 2010 and was since then inactive, so I'd like to claim it for myself.
If not possible, I have three others that I would like. But they all made a small ammounts of edits in the past.
Nofar. Account made the small ammount of edits 13, 11 in heWP (10 are visible) 2 in Commons (not visible).
- Notified Ziv. On hold until 7 January 2025. – DreamRimmer (talk) 10:51, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

- New Username: Yuqiao (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: Hoping to drop the "ByOthers" title since I plan on uploading some of my own photos on this account too. The new username is not my real name & references a place in Shanghai, China. Yuqiao has only made 4 edits on zhwiki in 2010 before going dormant.

- New Username: Firecat (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 would like a shorter, simpler username with no numbers. User:Firecat has only 8 global contributions, which date back to 2008 and 2009.
- On hold until 10 January 2025. Have notified Firecat on eswiki. unable to email. Robertsky (talk) 13:11, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

- New Username: Grand Admiral Thrawn (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: Redirected from: [1]
The user only made one edit in 2009, so I would like to claim the username as it should not go to waste/be lost to time. Thank you. --OnePunchYT (talk) 07:06, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

- New Username: BKIzPlcF (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 a new username. However, I am concerned about giving up my old username as I have been trolled by sock puppets imitating my name in the past, so I am planning to re-register it as a sub-account. --Rhcnisoll (talk) 00:42, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
- Done as simple rename request. Wüstenspringmaus talk 19:09, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
- @BKIzPlcF: You won’t be able to create a new account with this username because of antispoof. Just create a new account with a random name and submit a rename request instead. – DreamRimmer (talk) 01:28, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
DYerak
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: DYerak (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Yerak (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 keep my usernames consistent across all platforms to ensure recognizability. The account currently named "Yerak" has no edits or contributions since its creation 11 years ago, so I kindly request to usurp this username and put it to active use. Thank you for your consideration.
- Not done In order to ensure that usurped usernames be put to good use, we prefer only to grant requests from reasonably well-established users. Please feel free to re-file this request in the future after your account has been established. —MdsShakil (talk) 03:28, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

- New Username: Zaneb (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: User hasn't made any edits since signing up in 2013 on the Arabic wiki. I don't like this username younger me made, and I go by zaneb on other platforms now. Thank you.
- On hold until 20 January 2025, also notified via email. – DreamRimmer (talk) 04:31, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Gottert Eduardo
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Gottert Eduardo (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Gottert (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: The account Göttert, with an umlaut, is too similar, thus I cant use the name I want. That account is inactive for almost 12 years and hasn't made a single edit ever, not even in his homewiki. For instance, I am a sockpuppet of User:Eduardo Gottert, not just any random 0 edits user. I kindly request to usurp that username. This account will be used for testing bot features and doing some actions in the mean time. Cheers!
- Done This is not a usurpation. AntiSpoof conflicts with "Göttert." Since the account is inactive and has never been used for editing, the request is approved. —MdsShakil (talk) 11:00, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

- New Username: Alpaslan (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 make my last name my username. When I look at it, this account was opened 9 years ago but the number of contributions is 0 and there is no editing anywhere. I want you to change my name to Bayraktar. My name is Dervişli.
- On hold until 25 January 2025. Wüstenspringmaus talk 13:12, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hello @Wüstenspringmaus I was thinking this username might violate our policy, could you please rename this username instead, this username is not registered on the wiki username ("Alpaslan") Dervişli (talk) 06:13, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
- On hold until 02 February 2025. – DreamRimmer (talk) 06:33, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @DreamRimmer This account is not registered on any wiki, I think it can be easily renamed. Dervişli (talk) 06:36, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
- Alpaslan is registered on German Wikipedia. – DreamRimmer (talk) 06:38, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hello, @DreamRimmer cancel the name naming, you want me to move my account to an anonymous name, I am being subjected to violence and oppression in trwiki. Dervişli (talk) 10:29, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

- New Username: MR Old (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: please rename this old account of mine (me being MarjonW), so as to enable a rename of my main account MarjonW (that rename request will follow directly under this request)
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: MarjonW (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Mark Ramen (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: please rename this account, as I blog under the name Mark Ramen and use the name on social media. MarjonW is too close to my real name. I am also the owner of account MarkRamen, the one that is currently in the way of the requested name change. That's why I firstly requested a name change of that account, see just above.
- MarjonW, just to confirm, is it (the last new name) MarkRamen or Mark Ramen? --Alaa :)..! 17:37, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I understand that my new username can be random. However, I simply want to remain anonymous on wikipedia now.
- User is partly blocked at enwiki, due to a conditional unblock. Therefore I rejected the queue request and redirected them here to discuss this matter with other renamers. TenWhile6 00:34, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: (My current Wikipedia username includes a full name that is significant to me. While making my account I was unaware that simply editing your username was prohibited. A full name as my username is something I am not comfortable with. The new username I am requesting, Shallotlover59, is an amazing name that resonates and correlates to my interests and values rather than an entire full name. A username change would be appreciated and I would like it to be as soon as possible. I will continue to be an avid Wikipedia user for years to come. Thank you.
