Revision as of 12:13, 9 September 2021

Shortcut:
SRUC

This page hosts requests to stewards and global renamers for a username change across the entire Wikimedia network. Please read the instructions before posting a request.

This is also the page where the usurpation of inactive accounts can be requested.

Cross-wiki requests
Meta-Wiki requests


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:

  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

Shortcut:
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:    In progress
The reason translated to English is "since I lost the password of my main account". ネイ (talk) 12:49, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Moved to bottom of section per instructions, and fixed section title. This request comes from an unregistered user instead of the user though? ネイ (talk) 12:49, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@KlausD. and Enigma51: Firstly please login with both of the accounts and make a comment with each. Also if I understand correctly you want to merge both the accounts and want to keep KlausD. username in the end? ‐‐1997kB (talk) 10:29, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

PaleoMatt

Status:    On hold

--PaleoMatt (talk) 19:58, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@PaleoMatt: The Mayki username has valid edits, which is a barrier to usurpation so you need to choose another username. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 10:32, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@1997kB: How about Mayki_ ? -- PaleoMatt (talk) 12:04, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WPooya

Status:    On hold
Warning: A username cannot begin with a lower-case letter: iPooya → IPooya
  • Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
  • Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
  • Reason: I like my username to match my name without any extra letters. Target account registered only in Persian Wikipedia and had insignificant edits in less than 24 hours in 2006. He has not contributed since then and has left Wikipedia permanently.

--WPooya (talk) 22:47, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@WPooya: The target account has valid edits which is a barrier to usurpation. Please choose another username. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 10:34, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@1997kB: Is it not possible to rename the target account to another name? WPooya (talk) 10:43, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@WPooya: It is but usurpation practice doesn't allow that. For an account to be usurped it must not have valid mainspace edits. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 10:45, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@1997kB: Based on Changing username, I think I can usurp usernames that have no significant edits or log actions. How can I usurp this target account name? WPooya (talk) 11:08, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@WPooya: Yeah you can usurp usernames that don't have significant edits or log entries but in this case Pooya does have significant edits on Persian Wikipedia and that's the problem. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 11:11, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@1997kB: Is it not possible to change the name of the target account due to not being active in Wikipedia and leaving it entirely for a long time? Please check Courtesy vanishing WPooya (talk) 11:20, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@1997kB: This user has no user page, only one Talk page in Persian Wikipedia. WPooya (talk) 11:27, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@WPooya: Courtesy vanishing doesn't apply here as such requests are made by account holders and Pooya never made such request. Yes the account is inactive but we only usurp account if account is inactive and doesn't have any significant mainspace edits or log entries. As this account has significant mainspace edits so it's not eligible for usurpation. I hope this made things clear. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 11:32, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@1997kB: Thank you for your review of my request and answer my questions. I like my username to match my name without any extra letters, but unfortunately, it is impossible. Wikipedia support for the active user makes him want to be more active. WPooya (talk) 11:54, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
