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.
Global requests
Two options exist for requesting renames
- Use the (new) request form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest; or
- Utilise the manual process outlined above, and submit it below in this section.
Please add new requests at the end of the section. Sections should be titled your username@global if you wish to be globally renamed.
Spike@plwiki
- Wiki: pl.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Spike (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Spike-pl (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Confirmation difflink: [1]
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: User en:User:Spike has asked me to rename my global account so he could take over the global account Special:CentralAuth/Spike. I hope i did this request well and it will go swiftly cause i dont have time to dig in that crap. If u cant help him because i forgot to write some word on some page or sth moar stupid, some pl stewards should know me, and can confirm that im I ;) and proceed then. Have fun! 84.205.177.6 11:18, 28 March 2015 (UTC) I forgot even to login here. Spike78 (talk) 11:19, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
- You have been allocated the global account by the formula determined by Wikimedia. Are you sure that you wish for this account to be moved? — billinghurst sDrewth 12:02, 28 March 2015 (UTC)`
- Hi, I am en:User:Spike. Just to give full information: The reason that pl:User:Spike/pl:User:Spike78 is requesting this name change is because I had sent him an e-mail where I had asked him for the name change so that I could take over the global account "Spike" and he had graciously accepted. User Spike (talk) 15:22, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
- YES, and if next redundant question is to be like "r u sure that u r sure?"... Spike78 (talk) 08:16, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
- YES, im sure that im sure. Spike78 (talk) 08:16, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
- @Spike78: Would you rather that we move the account to the global account Spike78? — billinghurst sDrewth 09:55, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
- YES, im sure that im sure. Spike78 (talk) 08:16, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
Barte1@commonswikimedia
- Wiki: commons.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Barte1 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Barte (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Confirmation difflink: [2]
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: For 10 years, I've edited en.wikipedia under Barte. But I've had to contribute to Wikimedia Commons under Barte1. Now that the SUL initiative has added Wikimedia Commons to my Barte global account, I would like to consolidate. To be clear, this is not a global request to rename; it's just for Commons. Thank you.
Barte (talk) 16:22, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
Este~itwiki@global
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Este~itwiki (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: taseenb (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Warning: A username cannot begin with a lower-case letter: taseenb → Taseenb
- Confirmation difflink: [3]
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Thank you.
- Done. --Stryn (talk) 17:39, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
Requests with usurps and complex renames
Please add new requests at the end of the section. Sections should be titled your username@project name .
123chess456@global
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: 123chess456 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Chess (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Confirmation difflink: [4]
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I need to resolve an SUL conflict on some Wikis. I am now Chess on enwiki, and I have the SUL account. Chess (talk) 13:57, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
- you will need to solve locally on:
arwikicswiki- dawiki
- dewiki
- dewikinews
enwikibooksenwiktionaryeswiki- fiwiki
- frwiki
- idwiki
jawiki- jawiktionary
- kawiki
kawikibooksmediawikiwiki- nowiki
- ptwiki
- slwiki
- svwiki
- trwiki
trwikibookstrwikiquote- zhwiki Matanya (talk) 14:00, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
- Local renames are no longer possible by local users as per gerrit:160158. Thus, this is to be done by stewards. Vogone (talk) 15:30, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
- Hi User:Chess. So you want your 123chess456 accounts on commons, simplewiki, simplewikt and wikidata to be renamed to "Chess"? --MF-W 15:50, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
- Well, I've usurped on enwiki, so please change all of my accounts that you are able to to "Chess". I will have to make an usurp request on every individual wiki? Chess (talk) 20:03, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
- There is not yet "global usurpation policy", so I guess you will have to request usurpation locally for now and the bureaucrats will have to ask Stewards to fulfill those local requests. –xeno 20:36, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
- Per Xeno above, we can't start ignoring local usurpation guidelines, asking local bureaucrats for comment might indeed be the best solution, though we also have to keep in mind that this is atransitional period to SUL finalisation where all these accounts will be forcibly renamed. Done on es.wiki - as a local bureaucrat - and on enwikibooks and enwiktionary per previous precedents. Savhñ 20:53, 15 September 2014 (UTC) And some more (kawikibooks, trwikibooks, trwikiquote, mediawikiwiki, jawiki) based on previous precedents. Savhñ 21:37, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
- Two issues should be separated here: 1.) The renaming of the remaining 123chess456 accounts who have edits to the new name; 2.) The renaming ("usurpation") of the unattached Chess accounts.
- In order to solve 1.), I have just done the following renames: (so please visit Special:MergeAccount)
- Chess@commons->Chess (self-usurped)@commons
- 123chess456@commons->Chess@commons
- 123chess456@simple->Chess@simple
- 123chess456@simplewikt->Chess@simplewikt
- Chess@wikidata->Chess (self-usurped)@wikidata
- 123chess456@wikidata->Chess@wikidata
- The only remaining 123chess456'es with edits are on Meta and enwiki. That is obviously unsolvable at the moment, maybe you will want to request a merge when that function exists. --MF-W 21:04, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
- I've usurped all 0-edit Chess accounts and merged the frwiki accounts. —DerHexer (Talk) 16:39, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

- On hold until the merge function is available. Ajraddatz (talk) 22:47, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
- Planning on using User:123chess456 as an alt account, for example, vanilla interface testing, insecure wifi, public computer terminals, etc. What I would like, is to usurp the remaining users. Chess (talk) 00:41, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
- Chess, please clarify whether you want the edits from 123chess456 merged into your Chess account or not. For usurpation, please inform the users and hold a month. Savhñ 10:53, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

- @Chess: Chess now belongs to you globally. There's no other users using that username anymore because they were renamed as part of SUL finalization. But please clarify do you want to merge 123chess456 with Chess when the account merge tool is available? --Stryn (talk) 17:57, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
Galadrien@global
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Galadrien (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Ellif (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Confirmation difflink: [5]
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I have two global accounts either, and uses the name of ellif, in the account of Galadrien. If enables, I want to intergrate my all global edits into Ellif. Ellif (talk) 14:38, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
- On hold until the tool to merge SULs becomes available. Ajraddatz (talk) 17:55, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
- I propose to decline this and process it when SUL merge is enabled. (Looks like it is not going to happen soon.) — Revi 12:36, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
Pelikana@en.wikipedia (Usurp. request)
- Wiki: en.wikipedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Pepelikana (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I would like to usurp this account to complete my unification
- Uitgevoerd. Heb je een account op en.wiki die eventueel bij je globaal account toegevoegd moet worden? Savhñ 13:34, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, user:Pepelikana on en.wp could be merged please, ty Pelikana (talk) 13:44, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
- @Pelikana, can you provide an edit with the Pepelikana@enwiki account, so we can confirm you own that account? Savhñ 13:52, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
- here you go and ty. Can i do a request for the separated wp.de:user here too? Pelikana (talk) 13:56, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
- @Pelikana, can you provide an edit with the Pepelikana@enwiki account, so we can confirm you own that account? Savhñ 13:52, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, user:Pepelikana on en.wp could be merged please, ty Pelikana (talk) 13:44, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
- Geachte Pelikana, na het te hebben besproken met andere stewards, en aangezien nu beide accounts op en.wiki van jou zijn en je ook bovendien één bewerking hebt op nl.wiki met Pepelikana, lijkt het ons het verstandigst om te wachten op de activering van de Account-merge-tool. Hiermee zal het mogelijk worden andere accounts onder één naam samen te voegen. De verwachting is dat deze tool in de komende maand beschikbaar wordt.
- Als je een ander account hebt op de.wiki die je ook aan dit accout toegevegd wenst, laat het dan hier even weten. Zodra het technisch mogelijk is, zullen we het uitvoeren. Savhñ 14:14, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
Xavax@global
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Xavax (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Clavax (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Confirmation difflink: [6]
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I am from de wikipedia. I'd like to rename my global account the same like my de account, which was renamed already. Thank you. --Clavax (talk) 20:45, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
- Placing on hold pending the deployment of AccountMerge, since you have two global accounts and have contributed with both to commons and to other projects. I have updated the confirmation diff, since the one you provided was broken. Savhñ 10:44, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
khaled@global
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: روخو (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: khaled (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Warning: A username cannot begin with a lower-case letter: khaled → Khaled
- Confirmation difflink: [7]
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Dear Wikimedia Foundation. I have requested to change (Usurpation) my username from روخو to khaled at https://ar.wikipedia.org and it was done successfully in February 13, 2013 15:51. recently I have noticed that my new user name (khaled) does not work at all Wikimedia foundation projects, such as commons.wikimedia.org, ar.wiktionary.org, ar.wikinews.org... Please notice that I have contribution at the previous mentioned projects and I want them to be under my new name. I have asked some administrators at ar.wikipedia.org and they advised me to make request here. I want to have all my contributions at all Wikimedia projects to be under my new name (Khaled) and want to have one user (unified login) mane to access all the different Wikimedia projects. Thanks for your considerations and waiting for your feedback.
Best Regards,
Khaled Mahmoud --روخو (talk) 11:34, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
- I have usurped all "Khaled" accounts without any live edits, so you should be able to edit all projects except de.wiki and fi.wiki with your "Khaled" account. I suggest you wait for SUL finalisation and the deployment of AccountMerge to merge these two. Alternatively, we could merge the accounts the old way (all individually) but that could lead to problems. Savhñ 14:13, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
Peka@jawiki and other 3 projects
- Wiki: ja.wikipedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Peka (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Pekachu (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Confirmation difflink: [8]
- 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 "Peka" to "Pekachu" on 4 ja- projects. Because I'd like to merge my 6 accounts under unified login. --Pekachu (talk) 08:22, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
- On hold @Pekachu: before we can do anything we require for you to make this account a global account. Please follow the link in your "My Preferences" to achieve this, and let us kn when that is done. We also require those accounts that are yours under the username "Peka" each are edited on their user or user talk pages by you so that we know that they are your accounts. On the edits, simply quote [[m:Special:PermanentLink/11066304]]. Thanks. — billinghurst sDrewth 00:48, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
Tarenor@global
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Ralenak (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Tarenor (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Confirmation difflink: [9] [10]
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I would like to merge my accounts under unified login. I use Tarenor at cs.wikipedia and Ralenak at en.wikipedia. It is possible that en.wikipedia Tarenor is mine, but I have no option to recover my ppassword. There are no edits with this old account. Thank you.
- I have usurped the account on en.wiki. However, since AccountMerge is not deployed yet, we can't proceed to merge. Placing this request on hold. (Confirmation diff: cs.wiki) Savhñ 14:01, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
Laszlo@Global
- Wiki: wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Laszlo_french (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Laszlo (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Confirmation difflink: [11]
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I'm Laszlo, owner of the global account Laszlo. I get a current wikimedia account named "Laszlo_french" because wikimedia Laszlo account was, at creation time, already created. Now, I'm owner of the global account Laszlo and I want usurpate wikimedia Laszlo account.

Pietro.ziveri@global
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Pietro.ziveri (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: P.ziveri (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: <as stated in my previous request: for Privacy reasons as it reflects my real name>
Also @billinghurst Hello, I do not agree with the solution you provided. I don't want to link Pietro.ziveri to any random string but, as my original intention was: to MERGE P.ziveri and Pietro.ziveri accounts in one account: P.ziveri and, after merging, delete or cancel the information by Pietro.ziveri. I don't know why you renamed ONLY the itWP and itWS accounts and have left the enWP and meta accounts at the user name Pietro.ziveri which I want completely ERASED and MERGED into P.ziveri for the Privacy reasons mentioned in my first request. Special:PermanentLink/11066362#P.ziveri.40global I prefer to WAIT (as you suggested) until mergers are available later this year (when btw?). Thank You for your help.
- awaiting global merge It was the solution suggested by a global renamer, to which no response was made. If you really want those 20+ edits then you will need to wait until global merge is available. — billinghurst sDrewth 15:18, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
Aharon@global
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Aharon (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Aharonium (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Confirmation difflink: [13]
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: My first account on wikipedia was 'User:Aharon' but ever since single user login in 2011, I've been using the account I first made at the wikimedia commons ('User:Aharonium') for use on all Wikimedia sites including Wikipedia and Wikisource. Until now I've included the User alternative account template on both my account Talk pages but an experienced editor (User:IZAK) strongly recommended I establish one account so as to remove any suspicion of sock puppetry. If possible, I'd like all the edits that I made to articles under my User:Aharon account migrated to User:Aharonium, so that my complete edit history is preserved and correctly attributed. If that's possible could you please go ahead with this username change? Thank you. 24.165.97.140 13:02, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
- Since you have contributed with both accounts on en.wiki, we'll need to wait for AccountMerge. To allow us to merge your accounts once AccountMerge is deployed, please access en:Special:MergeAccount while logged into your Aharon account to create a global account. Otherwise, we will not be able to perform the merge. Savhñ 20:18, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
- I've completed the form on en:Special:MergeAccount to create a global account. There appear to be a number of other accounts named 'Aharon' on other wikimedia sites. These are not mine. (Only the 'Aharon' account on en.wikipedia.org is mine.) Thank you Savh. 24.165.97.140 17:14, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
- Great. As soon as AccountMerge is available, the merge of these two global accounts will be completed. This is expected to be before april. (Confirmation diff) Savhñ 17:31, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Later, I chose to rename me to U-Bahnfreund (metro friend), but again I sometimes forgot the rename, meaning ÖPNV-Bob l'éponge was also 'reactivated'. Lastly, in November, I think, I kinda didn't like that name anymore so I settled on Metrophil44.

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I request to usurp Banjo@global to complete SUL process for my username. I have the SUL account Banjo, and there are a few project accounts for which I do not have access. Neither of them appear to have active content and were last used many years ago, except in nowiki with a few (<10) edits per year. Can they be renamed so that my SUL account is unique? Thanks!
- He usurpado todas las cuentas locales que no tenían ediciones. Las que tienen ediciones (nowiki, itwiki, commons, cs.wiki, nlwiki y dawiki) requieren un aviso al usuario, y preferiblemente una solicitud de su parte. Considerando el gran número de ediciones de las cuentas de nowiki y de itwiki, no creo que sea apropiado usurparlas por el momento, por lo cual les he dejado un mensaje informativo del caso. Las otras cuentas han sido informadas de que serán usurpadas a no ser que soliciten el cambio de nombre. En un mes, se podrá proceder a la usurpación.
- En todo caso, con la finalización de SUL, también las cuentas de itwiki y nowiki serán usurpadas automáticamente. Puesto que me parece que no necesitas editar esos proyectos, prefiero dejarlo hasta el SUL finalisation.
- Done for all 0-edit accounts, On hold for commons, cswiki, nlwiki and dawiki until the 7th April, where the users have been informed that they would be usurped in a month. The accounts on nowiki and itwiki have >100 edits, and though they have been informed of approaching finalisation and given the possibility to request a rename, they should not be usurped IMO (or else, they should be informed they will be usurped with a deadline).

Once the user finalization happens, the Commons:User:B is going to be renamed to Commons:User:B~commonswiki and a brand new Commons:User:B (controlled by me) will be created.

When the finalization process completes, Commons:User:B - who is controlled by some other person - will get renamed. What I am asking for is for my Commons:User:UserB account to be renamed to Commons:User:B in his place instead of giving me a brand new account. The reason for my request is because I have a lot of edits as Commons:User:UserB that I would like to preserve. --B (talk) 22:26, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Also if my understanding is correct, you want to merge Eurobas into copyleft account, it won't be possible for now because the user merge tool is still in development--Shanmugamp7 (talk) 11:21, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
- @Shanmugamp7: we should be able to move out/usurp the enWP account, and move in the replacement. Just will need to get user to align passwords/passwords. We would need a confirmation of the Eurobas account to be moved and merged. — billinghurst sDrewth 13:09, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

- Reason: Hi renaming experts, sorry for bothering you with this. I have not followed wikipedia and related projects close enough to notice the ongoing renaming, so it was good I got an email telling me about it.
For 5 projects I got an account with the username "Boudewijn". I have been gathering those since 2005. Over the last 10 years I made some contributions to each of the projects, even though most of my edits are anonymous.
In the SUL-renaming-project another user had just a few more edits than my max on one of the projects, and so that account became the global account. I would like to use "Boudewijn" as SUL for my accounts. More objective arguments:
- all of the edits of boudewijn-on-commons are done within 1 hour in 2007.
- there has not been any activity from that account since.
- my combined edits are higher than those of the current SUL-account
Is it necessary to request SUL account deletion for the current Boudewijn-SUL, or can that one be renamed?
I would really appreciate it if I could retain my old username as a global login. Thank you for your consideration! --2001:982:1768:1:225:90FF:FE37:B6F8 00:08, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
- If you hold all of the other accounts, then I am inclined to process this request. However, would you consider selecting a different name to make it easier on everyone :)? Ajraddatz (talk) 06:29, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
- The other Bouwdewijn (commons, dewp) has been inactive for 8 years and was only active for 2 days. They also have less edits in total. I think we should give the global account to this Boudewijn (enwp, nlwp, enwn, enwk, nlwk). I suggest switching the global account choice (deleting the global account) and warning the other user of the coming SUL finalisation. Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 07:05, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
- @Ajraddatz: I understand that each request adds a manual burden on a complex project, and have considered selecting another user name. I also considered the active time of the other account: as Takata points out: it was only active on two dates (less than sixty minutes, crossing from one to the next date at midnight). Thank you for your time on this. @Takata: thanks :-)
- addition for clarity: I would still like to retain Boudewijn as user name :-)

- @Psychedelia: You should request the moving the account from ruWP to this account name. I doubt that we will look to resolve poet@global, it looks problematic.

I could not do it through Special:GlobalRenameRequest because "Alexandre Oberlin" is of course already taken (by me!). I have read that account merging is not currently possible but maybe it is easier in my case since Alxobr only has contributions in fr.wikipedia.org while "Alexandre Oberlin" only has contributions in en.wikipedia.org and commons.wikimedia.org

- Reason: Some years ago I started to rename my old account "Kontos" to "Sanyi4", requesting username changes locally, one-by-one. I haven't managed to get renamed on all wikis by now. The problem is, I don't own the global account for Kontos (I used to), and according to the emails I'm getting, all local accounts I have with the name Kontos, will be renamed to local-wiki-specific alternative names, for the sake of the SUL finalization. I propose instead that local Kontos accounts be renamed to Sanyi4. (Problem two: On many local wikis, the name Sanyi4 is already existing -- conflicting Sanyi4 accounts should be renamed to "Sanyi4 (usurped)"). The list of wikis, where Kontos is to be renamed to Sanyi4: User talk:Sanyi4#SUL finalization: accounts to be renamed
- @Sanyi4: You have the global account under this name. What we can look to do is to merge those pertinent accounts from Kontas. We will need for you to login to each of the relevant accounts under Kontas and identify which are to be merged. Some may be able to do soon, others will need to wait until the global unification process is further progressed. — billinghurst sDrewth 13:00, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
- @Billinghurst: (I did not own the global user for Kontos, if you meant that.) Now the local Kontos accounts are being renamed to Kontos~xy, many have been renamed already. I tried to use Special:GlobalRenameRequest, but that doesn't work for target accounts that already exist. -- What do I have to do to have all the remaining individual Kontos/Kontos~xy accounts renamed to Sanyi4? Where do I have to request it, if not here? How long do I have to wait? -- Sanyi4 (talk) 22:52, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
- @Sanyi4: We need a list of the Kontos… accounts to be merged, where each of these accounts you have logged into and confirmed each from its user account.

- Reason: I have the user name beastin on WikiMedia and the user name beastinwith on Wikipedia. I tried to unify my accounts on my own, but I think I just wound up generating a global account under beastinwith. Ideally I would like both my beastinwith account on Wikipedia and my beastin account on MediaWiki merged into a global account under the name beastin. Unfortunately, the name beastin was registered to someone else on Wikipedia in 2007. That person appears to have used the account only once (for what appears to have been an act of vandalism) in 2007, so I'm hoping to usurp the name.
- @Beastin: I have deleted the global account so feel free to go and merge any existing accounts. We can look to merge the accounts after unification. We will need a confirmation that "beastinwith" is yours and should be merged into this account. pending usurping this account globally, and the merge tool — billinghurst sDrewth 13:04, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

- Reason: I received notification that I was on the brink of losing my account name to the German account holder of the same name. The German account hasn't edited in two years. Anyway, a script went through and, based on edit count, determined that the German account would remain "Pikachu" and mine would have to change. Had I received any sort of warning, via e-mail, or at least on my talk page, that a script would be soon determining which account didn't have to be renamed, I would have made sufficient edits then. Instead, I made sufficient edits now, to be the account with the greatest number of edits. Of course, I didn't have the most at the time the script was run. That being said, stewards can "can override this scheme on a case-by-case basis". There have been other usurpations in English Wikipedia of users in the hundreds of edit count, such as this one and this one, from last year.
I would like to request that the stewards override my rename to "Pikachu~enwiki" and instead have the inactive German account renamed, allowing me, on English Wikipedia, to remain "Pikachu". Thank you for your consideration. --2605:A601:557:C201:DD5D:B498:877D:457C 06:03, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

The criteria being made available wasn't really all that available. When an account has been on the brink of usurpation in the past, a notice would be put on the target account's talkpage while there was still an opportunity to do something about it. With this, no notice was given until it was too late.

I have an Italian, German and Commons account called Desyman (those were correctly merged) while the English one was not, as there my name is "Desyman44". As the currently existing user "Desyman" on en.wikipedia seems to be inactive, I would like to usurp the username in order to have my English account merged with the other languages without having to log out and then back in every type I switch between the English account and the other ones. Thank you.

- Hi Carcharoth, I have removed the "Carcharoth" commons account (0 edits) from the "Carcharoth" global account and renamed it to "Carcharoth (renamed)". I have deleted the "Carcharoth (Commons)" global account (1 account with edits) and renamed the "Carcharoth (Commons)" commons account to "Carcharoth". All you have to do now is attach the commons account to your "Carcharoth" global account in the usual way. Simply confirm it is you by using your commons password. See commons:Special:MergeAccount. All the best, Taketa (talk) 04:35, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
- That is great! I had thought that the merge tool would be needed. It seems not. I knew it would help to set the two passwords to be the same before requesting this. It all seems to have worked perfectly. I now get "Login unification complete!" and all seems to be working fine. I do want at some point to put a notice on my userpage about when this transition occurred, as the Commons uploads prior to this date by either account may have been used (and credited) externally, so hopefully that will avoid any possible confusion. Many thanks to you and the other stewards (and those at the WMF who are managing this) for all your work on this. Carcharoth (talk) 01:02, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

- Reason: Mijn naam mag niet wijzigen. Ik ben bekend onder de naam Sol op het bijbehorende forum, het is een personal brand waar jaren aan is gewerkt.
- Beste Sol, ik stel uw bijdragen zeer op prijs en het is inderdaad zeer onprettig dat uw naam, waar u onder bekend staat op Wikibooks, hernoemd is. Echter zoals reeds op uw overlegpagina op Wikibooks is uitgelegd zijn er helaas twee mensen met de naam Sol. Daarom is gekeken door een automatisch programma wie de naam het beste kan krijgen. De Duitse bijdrager heeft 10x meer bijdragen dan u. Toen u in 2011 begon op Wikibooks was de Duitse gebruiker al 7 jaar op Wikimedia actief. Verder is de Duitse gebruiker in de afgelopen jaren actiever dan u. Ik denk dat de Duitse gebruiker een goede aanspraak heeft op de naam. Graag wil ik u daarom vragen een andere naam te kiezen. Met vriendelijke groet, Taketa (talk) 09:45, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
- U doet een aanname. Heeft die andere gebruiker überhaupt wel bezwaar gemaakt tegen een naamsverandering? Verder stamt de laatste edit van de Duiste Sol uit 2012. Overigens als ik de Sol gebruiker opzoek in User_talk:Sol#Your_account_will_be_renamed, dan staat er op die pagina te lezen:
Your account here on the English Wikipedia is not eligible to have a cloak (less than 250 edits)... If you don't own either of those accounts, I can't set you a cloak
- Daarop volgt verder geen reactie, dus ik verwacht dat dat niet een en dezelfde eigenaar was.
- (Ik heb overigens ingelogd, maar mijn UID wordt nog steeds niet herkend.)
- Verder vind ik op de Duitse gebruiker helemaal geen 10x meer bijdragen en al helemaal niet in volume. Blijkbaar wegen het aantal projects zwaarder dan het aantal edits. Maar het project waar ik aan werk is een BOEK en niet een artikel! Rond dat boek bevindt zich een gehele community. Ik heb de "andere" Sol's 6 edits found in 9 projects doorgekeken, maar dat is qua volume minder. Ik snap dus niet waarom ik minder recht op het behouden van mijn naam zou hebben dat die anderen?
- Er kloppen meer dingen niet. Wanneer ik die inactieve Duitse Sol user opzoek, dan zit deze in de usergroup: "autoreview". Als ik doorklik op de artikelen waaraan hij gelinkt is en ik kijk in de history daarvan, dan komt Sol niet eens voor in de lijst van editors. Het hele zaakje stinkt wat mij betreft om de volgende redenen:
- De gebruiker is niet actief - Bewijs van zijn zogenaamde 1.600 bijdragen is niet te vinden. Hij komt bijna nooit voor in de artikelen waaraan hij gelinkt is. - Heeft die inactieve gebruiker ooit bezwaar gemaakt tegen een rename van de naam Sol? - De gebruiker lijkt geautomatiseerd edits te hebben gemaakt omdat die in de groep "autoreview" zit.

- Wiki: commons.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Stefan4 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Stefan2 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Confirmation difflink: Confirmed by signing the request page: Stefan4 (talk) 20:54, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: The old c:User:Stefan2 account was moved away as part of the SUL finalisation, so the user name now belongs to me on Commons. The account Stefan4@global should ideally be globally merged into Stefan2@global as there are also a few edits elsewhere, but the merge tool does not seem to be available yet. A local rename of Stefan4@commonswiki into Stefan2@commonswiki would make it easier for me to switch between Commons and other projects while waiting for the merge tool to become available. --Stefan2 (talk) 20:53, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
- On hold waiting that the SUL finalization is over (few days) per request by Legoktm. --Stryn (talk) 16:40, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
Jackie@plwiki
- Wiki: pl.wikipedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Jackie-1 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Jackie (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: local Jackie@pl.wiki has been released from other inactive user and today I has been autologin to the pl.wiki, new account put by autocreation. But early I used there Jackie-1@pl-wiki with contribution. I need reverse this my accounts Jackie-1@pl.wiki <-> Jackie@pl.wiki. Confirmation from Jackie—1 — Jackie 07:48, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
WTM2@rowiki
- Wiki: ro.wikipedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: WTM2 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: WTM (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Confirmation difflink: [72]
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: The old ro:user:WTM account was moved away as part of the SUL finalisation, so the user name now belongs to me on every Wikimedia project. For reasons of tidiness, I would like to ask for a local rename of WTM2@rowiki into WTM@rowiki.
