- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req

- Confirmation difflink: [8]
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: The new name, besides being short, is persian and I like it much more.
- @Mhhossein: that username is unavailable, please request another. You can also utilise the form Special:GlobalRenameRequest which will only allow available usernames. — billinghurst sDrewth 14:14, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Billinghurst: What do you mean by 'unavailable'? I checked the 'name' and no one had registered with this name. Mhhossein (talk) 17:11, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Mhhossein: The username is globally in use, see CA --Steinsplitter (talk) 17:24, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Billinghurst: What do you mean by 'unavailable'? I checked the 'name' and no one had registered with this name. Mhhossein (talk) 17:11, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Mhhossein: The username seems registered in 2007 but never used [9]. Perhaps you could ask @Ladsgroup: if there is any way for you to take over the name. –xeno 19:37, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
- Used is used, we are not in the old ways where usurping takes place due to another local use. We are in the system of global accounts, not solely localised accounts. Suggest that you simply pick an unused account name (via the means pointed out above) and we can get you moved.

- Done please log out and then login with new user name Amir (talk) 07:06, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Ladsgroup: Thanks, but I want only the fa wikipedia account changed, as it appears from the manner I filled the request form. نان (talk) 13:10, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Steinsplitter: I never asked for changing my global account and I only wanted my fa wiki account changed, as it is apparent from the form. Tnx نان (talk) 13:32, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
- @نان: it is no longer possible to rename accounts in a local way; all accounts are now global. I'm not sure if Stewards still have the ability to split up a global account or if they would on request. –xeno 14:24, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
- We still have the bit but as a tool to fix potential issues. I'm not entirely sure of why this use wants the split, and I think some quite compelling reason would have to be provided. Snowolf How can I help? 14:35, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Snowolf: I aimed to have a short Persian user name for editing in fa.wikipedia. I liked the word نان and that's why I chose it. However, if it is not a compelling reason to locally change the user name, please restore my older user name globally. نان (talk) 05:38, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
- Pinging:@Stryn and Steinsplitter: Please note! نان (talk) 13:31, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
- Done, renamed back globally. --Stryn (talk) 13:41, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Stryn: So, It is not really possible to locally change the user name? Why?Mhhossein (talk) 13:47, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
- Technically it's still possible, but it's very much recommended to have a global account including all your accounts. And I think that we don't have any policy to unmerge a local account from a global one. --Stryn (talk) 13:52, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, <span title="Rename Tccbsarayi to <something generic>">rename user
- Reason: Tccbsarayi means "Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Cumhurbaşkanlığı Sarayı", in French « Palais de la présidence de la République de Turquie » according tr-3 fr:User:KumKum, in English it would be something like Turkish Republic's Presidency Palace. This name suggests the account holder is an an Official with the Turkish Government. This hasn't been confirmed, despite an invite to support such claim here. Furthermore, the upload behavior on Commons (a project this user is now blocked) doesn't tend to support this claim either.
- Not done This isn't a valid reason for renaming. Blocking should be enough. --Steinsplitter (talk) 16:30, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I used the old name with many other accounts on the internet. To be more difficult to stalk, I would like to change it to a shorter, more generic term that is less obvious to link. Posting in this section because I tried to use the dedicated form, which claimed the name was taken, but I could not find an user called "Mafu" nor any edits of them, so I think the form was wrong.

- Reason: My nickname currently is my surname. I want this username, but there is a user, who uses it. He has only three edits, don't have SUL and all edits are in Talkpage. I want to usurp it.

Hpa~enwiki@global

- New Username: HPA (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Confirmation difflink: [12]
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: There appears to have been an automatic conflict for the name "HPA". I would, however, argue that I am the well-known HPA, as evidenced by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Peter_Anvin and https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._Peter_Anvin, the latter one on the current HPA's home wiki.
- Hpa~enwiki, you may wish to make it clear whether you desire to be renamed to "HPA" (which conflicts with an inactive es.wiki user) or your previous "hpa", which is conflicting with an active fr.wiki user. –xeno 13:46, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
- I did not realize that user names were case sensitive. Either alternative is perfectly fine with me. Hpa~enwiki (talk) 17:44, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
- You should probably ask user:HPA if they agree to be renamed (and wait some time for an answer). Ruslik (talk) 20:22, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

- Confirmation difflink: [https:// diff-link to the local request on your local talk-page for example]
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I would like to change username "J2w1" to "江" on Global, because I can't remember the old name. "江" this name is not a global account, it zh-wiki edit number is 0.

- Reason: Much to my regret my de.wikipedia.org account was automatically renamed from the established name "EL" to the global name "EL~dewiki" because of a conflict with another user in en.wikipedia.org that already uses the name "EL". But the en.wikipedia.org account "EL" wasn't actively used (only one edit) since 2008. Probably en.wikipedia.org-"EL" can be renamed to "EL~enwiki"? Your help to be "EL" again is greatly appreciated :-)
- I'd be inclined to grant the request - I've notified the en.wiki user of it and if no objections will proceed after some delay. –xeno 22:42, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

- Confirmation difflink: [https:// diff-link to the local request on your local talk-page for example]
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Hi! I used to be Martinwguy@everything, but
then somehow lost my pwd for wikipedia.org, for which an email message to reset password never arrives to either of the main email addresses I've used over the last ten years, martinwguy@yahoo.it then (current) martinwguy@gmail.com. My suspicion is that either I left myself logged in somewhere and someone changed the email or that I did something silly in some security-minded frenzy, and forgot what.
That was years ago, and I was able to continue editing en.w by creating Martinwguy2. You can verify this by looking at the last-modification records for the two accounts and seeing that there is no overlap in their editing history: one stops and the other starts.
Since the username unification, I am now
- Martinwguy~enwikibooks
- Martinwguy~enwikiquote
- Martinwguy~commonswiki
- Martinwguy~itwiki
- Martinwguy~mediawikiwiki
but cannot unify them because the controlling account is Martinwguy@en.wikipedia, the only one over which I don't have control.
So... can someone give me back control of Martinwguy@wikipedia.org so that I can unite all these accounts under the original name?
Thanks! Martinwguy2 (talk) 09:34, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
- Stewards are unable to return the account to you. You would need to pursue such a request through Wikimedia Foundation, and initially through a phabricator: request, though you could seek advice through Stewards' noticeboard about the matter. We could merge these accounts to Martinwguy2 if you can login to each of the above accounts, and confirm them that they should be merged.
If you ever satisify WMF to assign the Martinwguy account to you, then we can merge usernames at that time. — billinghurst sDrewth 03:36, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: See previous discussions, where has the request on this page gone? Please fix the problem, this account never should have been renamed, the problem still remains, and all templates still are in a not-existing user namespace. This should be fixed finally. Where is the problem to do this and what can be done about it to fix this problem? This is also not good for newbies, if it doesn't get fixed after all the time, they get a confusing message, when they want to edit any of these templates. It has been told on 28 April that the sysadmins would care about the problem, but now it is still as it has been after the renaming procedure, but the request is gone. So, what is the matter now? Where is the problem with that and why does this take so much time? I don't understand this. Can't you just take the German wiki account and rename this local account back to the old name? I don't see any problem, because there is no account there which could block the re-renaming of this local account. Please fix this. --Winternacht (talk) 19:59, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

- I've just looked into these two global accounts and there's something that I don't understand: Special:CentralAuth/Vorlage~dewiki, Special:CentralAuth/Vorlage. I didn't notice by now that there is a new local account for User:Vorlage at dewiki since 25 April. That's quite strange, because there is no log entry in the user creation log for that. There are a few new local accounts now: for User:Vorlage „de.wikipedia.org, 19:47, 25 April 2015“ without log entry, and for User:Vorlage~dewiki login.wikimedia.org 19:47, 25 April 2015, meta.wikimedia.org 19:48, 25 April 2015, and en.wikipedia.org 19:57, 25 April 2015. User:Schwalbe told on 20:04, 25 April 2015 that he could login "and just tried successfully", but could not use the name ("Yes, the user is a legal "sockpuppet" of mine and I still can login and just tried successfully. But the user rename request form does not allow me to use the old name again. --Schwalbe (talk) 20:04, 25 April 2015"), I think that he must have created the local account de:Benutzer:Vorlage again with the old password of the renamed de:Benutzer:Vorlage~dewiki. Does this mean that the passwords of both global accounts are the same now? Or can it be that the local accounts of User:Vorlage in dewiki and dewiktionary have two different passwords? This seems to be strange, because the global user which owns the account de:wikt:Benutzer:Vorlage obviously was another one and has nothing to do with the dewiki account. Or has that account got the same password as the new local dewiki account and also the same as the renamed account? I've never seen such a thing before. Is it possible for renamed users to create new local accounts with their old names and that no log shows this user creation in any way? What has happened here and what will be done with this now? --Winternacht (talk) 18:21, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

- As Ruslik says all we can fully say is that someone has the account name Vorlage and has successfully logged into it recently, and it is the global account; checkuser checks would tell more, though does not seem warranted. If the same person has the accounts across deWX sister wikis, they should request a merging of accounts here, with the requisite confirmatory edits from the accounts. — billinghurst sDrewth 22:05, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

- The person who owns the renamed account Vorlage~dewiki@de.wikipedia is User:Schwalbe. It seemed to me that he also created the local account Vorlage@de.wikipedia by logging in with his old password (see above), because at the same time he wrote something here. He also requested on the subpage that the account should be renamed back. I don't understand the whole thing now. Has he now the rights to log into the de.wiktionary account? Or what has happened? Or has the global account Vorlage now 2 different passwords in the projects? I didn't find any entry for that in the server admin log, but there has been an entry for the JS accounts which also were mentioned, see here:
- 18:46 legoktm: force merged User:Js@ruwiki to User:Js@global per global-renamers list
- I still don't understand, why it was so easy for these accounts to be merged, but that User:Vorlage@dewiki can't be renamed back or merged. What is different? I don't know who originally had created the account User:Vorlage@dewiktionary and nobody seems to know. He seems to be inactive since years. So, why can't Vorlage~dewiki@de.wikipedia not be merged or renamed back? What is the problem now? I don't understand this whole thing here. Perhaps you can ask the user yourself on dewiki, if there are questions about it. He already stated something here as you see on the subpage. --Winternacht (talk) 18:07, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I have used the name Merry on wikipedia since 2001. In the recent renaming it was renamed in favour of a user who, if I understand it correctly is newer and does not seem to be active, on the basis of a higher raw edit count where all but one edit are on a single page. The user was active less than one month in 2013. xeno states: it does appear you've been using the name for longer, but in the recent finalization, it was given based on raw edit count. I think there is an argument that you should retain the name since so many of the other users' edits were to their userspace in advance of a single page they created at hu.wiki. You could file at m:SRUC to see if you can usurp the other account given that it only appears to have been used very briefly and is no longer active.

- Reason: A few months ago my name was changed to Mik~plwiki from Mik, because another user with the same name on elwiki had more edits. However he was active only in years 2005&2006, while I use Wikipedia since 2003 till present. I have contacted him (at the bottom of this discussion page), but without answer for almost two months. ~mik (talk) 17:38, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

- Reason: Then, I didn't know that heroine meant for female (and I am a boy). And I would like that my username would be like the name of Lorde album, Pure Heroine.--ThePureHeroine (talk) 18:42, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

- Reason: For years I was Ling.Nut, Ling.Nut2 and Ling.Nut3. During a mostly non-editing hiatus I kept an account SeviceableVillain, but recently decided that username was 1) too negative, and 2) contracts to SV, which would lead to confusion with SlimVirgin. I pulled ArchReader off the top of my head in a moment. Now would like to have a name that contracts to Ling, but don't want Ling.Nut4 or even anything with the terminal Nut. Consider it a fresh start that still acknowledges the past.ArchReader (talk) 07:04, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
