Steward requests/Username changes

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

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.

Instructions

[edit]

SUL finalization

[edit]

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

[edit]

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

[edit]

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

[edit]

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

[edit]

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

[edit]
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.

new username is taken, so this is a request involving usurps and not a simple one. TenWhile6 08:11, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@ポカ, please confirm if you want to usurp this username. – DreamRimmer (talk) 12:46, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I would like to. Thank you. --ポカ (talk) 13:04, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Neriah: account was created 9 days ago and usurpation is only for well-estabilished users. In addition, they already made a request a few days ago and it was rejected. AramilFeraxa (Talk) 16:42, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is an additional username of a veteran user (user:Yar), who lost the password for this additional account. The account is intended for different purposes than the main account, so there's no need to wait for account establishment - which is meant to prevent usurp for accounts that won't be in use. The previous request was rejected by a user who wasn't familiar with the background of the previous request (the background can be found in the link that the user attached to the request), and therefore I asked the user here to resubmit their request. Best regards, Neriah - 💬 - 21:41, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, thank you for the clarification. AramilFeraxa (Talk) 22:04, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
