- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Hi! "Викизавр" is my old account, veryfied by checkusers, see Steward requests/Username_changes/2018-05#Russian translator. Unfortunately, I lost password of it and can not request username change from it. I need it because my signature is "Викизавр" (Russian form of Wikisaurus) and thus people often ping me as "Викизавр", but I do not receive these pings. I would like to have "Викизавр" account moved into "Wikisaurus (old)" and then create a new unused account "Викизавр" to receive pings. Wikisaurus (talk) 18:44, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

Botopol
Status: Not done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Botopol (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Renamed user 98014751098754 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Well this is awkward. I set up a bot account, entered the password in Pywikibot, then promptly forgot it before writing it down. After some use, there was a period of inactivity long enough for Pywikibot to forget it as well, so now I can't access the account anymore. I was expecting the new username setting would include my e-mail too, but I don't get anything when I try to reset password, so I guess that didn't happen. Assuming there is no other way to retrieve my alternate account, I'm asking to rename this one away so I can set up a new one (I like this username), this time more carefully. But if somebody knows any means of retrieving current Botopol instead, that would be much preferred. — Yerpo Eh? 08:10, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
PS: I'm a global renamer, so I could do it myself, but I don't want to give the impression of doing something fishy with accounts. — Yerpo Eh? 08:11, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
- @Martin Urbanec: Possible to restore the account? -- CptViraj (talk) 08:18, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
- @Yerpo: Please follow at Phab task. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 08:56, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
@Yerpo: Not done, given I restored the account for you. I set Botopol's email to the same email as you currently have in your preferences (no email was set previously). You can now use Special:PasswordReset to reset the password itself. Please be more careful next time. Best, --Martin Urbanec (talk) 09:12, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
- That resolved the issue, thank you Martin Urbanec. — Yerpo Eh? 09:14, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

Requests involving merges, usurps or other complications
Peksimet (bot)
Status: Done

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I am willing to create new bot account for Turkish Wikipedia named "peksimet", which means hardtack in Turkish. There is an account in English Wikipedia named "Pek simet" with zero edits and I am not able to create new account under the name "peksimet". I have created tr:Kullanıcı:Peksimet (bot). Please usurp "Pek simet" and rename it as "peksimet". Thanks.

- The request is Peksimet (bot) → Pek simet → Peksimet. Thank you in advance. --Peksimet (bot) (talk) 05:44, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
- Done There is no need for usurpation. This is an issue of antispoof and can be easily ignored if the conflicting account is inactive and unused. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 07:55, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

Is not possible to merge this old user with my user PepTheVoyager without losing my contributions? My overall issue is that my original Wikipedia user Josepalvarezperez was "forked" in the Spanish wikipedia by the admin User:Keegan_(WMF) on 09:30 21 abr 2015 (UTC). After that action I had two users: Josepalvarezperez~eswiki for the Spanish wikipedia and Josepalvarezperez for the English, Catalan and Galician version. Some weeks ago I did request the migration of my user Josepalvarezperez to the new PepTheVoyager. Unfortunately, the Spanish user Josepalvarezperez~eswiki was "left behind".
