InstructionsEdit

SUL finalizationEdit

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 be 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 hereEdit

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 accountEdit

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 requestsEdit

Requests that need to be made in private should be sent using this direct wiki-email interface while logged-in.


Simple rename requestsEdit

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.

USURP

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.

Status:    On hold

--RoarinqLion (talk) 17:59, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

@RoarinqLion: RoaringLion exists globally and you need to wait for 1 month in order to usurp that account. Also unfortunately a record is kept always and we can not stop that, so if are you ok with both of these issues we can proceed to rename, please reply with choice. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 04:51, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
Hello,
I have an ID change request that you answered. I accept the conditions. Its okay a record is kept always. I'm okay with waiting for 1 month in order to usurp that (RoaringLion) account.

MedozasEdit

Status:    On hold
Warning: A username cannot begin with a lower-case letter: mwilliams → Mwilliams
  • Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
  • Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
  • Reason: "medozas" is my pseudonym and has been used for a long time. Yet I have realized to collide with another medozas in social media I do not want to be affiliated with. I would therefore prefer to use a username which identifies me best.

Status:    On hold
@Vladimir Solovjev: Is & as username is acceptable on ruwiki? ‐‐1997kB (talk) 16:08, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
Formally, such a name is acceptable, although it is not clear to me why the user needs such a name.--Vladimir Solovjev (talk) 06:37, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for confirming the permissibility of such a nickname, which I really like because it is short and unusual. I'm afraid that I won't be able to explain in more detail why I would like this particular nickname, is it necessary to do this in this case? ·Ɔ (talk) 12:20, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
