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.

HamedsafareEdit

Status:    Not done

--Hamedsafare (talk) 05:26, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

@Hamedsafare:, would you please change a new one? There is an global account named NightOwl15, and it may be confusing though that one is not active now. --Hamish 13:08, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
@Hamedsafare: I'm marking this request as not done because there is no reply, should you still need to change your username, please follow the instruction above and submit another request, sorry. --Hamish 15:08, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Anastasya 2018Edit

Status:    On hold

--Anastasya 2018 (talk) 21:59, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

@Anastasya 2018:There is a global account named D&d, you'll have to choose a new one for your new username to avoid possible confusion. --Hamish 14:38, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi, @Hamish: I really apologize. I checked D&D and it was available. It seems that user:D&d has not done any editing. Please rename my user into D&Dr Thank you, Anastasya 2018 (talk) 17:15, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Requests involving merges, usurps or other complicationsEdit

Алёна СиничкинаEdit

Status:    On hold
Прошу узурпировать (Флаттершай). Есть пользователь с похожим именем (Флаттершай26). (Флаттершай) и (Флаттершай26) нет правок. Причина. Множество участников русской википедии неправильно пишут имя (Алёна), и не признают это оскорбительным. --Алёна Синичкина (talk) 17:05, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

RoarinqLionEdit

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)

@Davey2010Commons: Just for your information you can ask for a password reset to developers on phabricator. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 15:20, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi 1997kB I can?. There's no email attached to that account tho and from what I've read on EN once you've scrambled your password there's no going back?. The email used for that account is currently used for this account, Many thanks, Davey2010Commons (talk) 18:30, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
