[edit] Before posting here

If there is an active bureaucrat on the local wiki (type Special:ListUsers/bureaucrat), please ask them to fulfill your request using Special:RenameUser on the relevant wiki. Sometimes Project:RENAME redirects to the local request page and the Index of pages where renaming can be requested may also be used to help you locate the right page. If there is no local community, request on this page with a note to that effect.

Please list specific projects that you need rename in under your request and DO NOT just request to rename at all projects. Renaming in all wikis with bureaucrats should be handled locally

[edit] 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,
  • the wiki project on which you ask for the renaming,
  • a link to the local (old) user page, where you put a formal request with your local account

If anything is missing from your request, a steward will request more information. Please don't skip the last point, even if there's no community on the project. 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.

For changing your username on several wikis:

If you want to have your username changed on several wikis at the same time, please put a list of these wikis on one of your user pages and make sure that there is a link back to this page from all of the other user pages. Alternatively you can post a short request separately with all the user accounts to be renamed. Please give here only the link to the user page with your list and replace the "@ project" in the headline by "on several projects" or the like.

[edit] Making a request for an account that is not yours

If you want to have an account renamed because it's name is harrassing or insulting, or if it impersonates you or someone else, please include the following information in your request:

  • the account's name, including a translation into English, (if it's harrassing or insulting),
  • the wiki project on which you ask for the renaming,
  • the impersonated account (if the account is impersonating), this can be cross wiki.

If anything is missing from your request, a steward will request more information.

[edit] Requests for renaming your own account

Please add new requests at the end of the page. Sections should be titled your username@project name or your username@multiple projects please.

[edit] Mietchen@global

Status:    In progress.
Done: siwiki, uzwiki, ugwiki, tawiki, fawikisource, kgwiki, kywiki, htwiki, ocwiki, wikimania2011wiki, tgwiki, lawiki. I've only renamed accounts with at least one edit, and where the bureaucrats are either inactive for more than three months or non-existant. For the rest, please see index of pages where renaming can be requested. All best, PeterSymonds (talk) 21:56, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
OK, thank you. -- Daniel Mietchen 22:03, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

I won't go for renaming then but keep tabs here on whether my old and new accounts have been linked on the projects.

Cannot be done as both usernames exist to prevent merger. Please ask locally if usurping is feasible.--Jusjih (talk) 15:44, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

[edit] गणेश पौडेल@global

Status:    In progress.
I went ahead and did the rename on English Wikipedia as a local crat to Ganesh Paudel. You need a Nepali crat from here to do the rename on that project. MBisanz talk 15:22, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
गणेश पौडेल renamed as Ganesh Paudel on Nepali wikipedia also.-Bhawani (talk) 14:28, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
Sorry, should the new name be "Ganesh Paudel" or "Ganesh K Paudel"? --MF-W 18:39, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
Please change it into Ganesh Paudel. It is already settled in my home wiki
Changing name गणेश पौडेल to Ganesh K Paudel already notdone as above. On en.wikipedia the user is renamed as Ganesh Paudel. Please see his request here on Nepali wiki and this history on en wiki-Bhawani (talk) 01:31, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
I restored this request from the archive, see also this request (permalink). Trijnsteltalk 17:50, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

[edit] AliReza@global

Status:    In progress.
Comment CommentThere are wikis showing where 'crats exist, you need to make such requests locally to each wiki for local 'crats to undertake. As per the instructions see Special:ListUsers/bureaucrat on respective wikis. billinghurst sDrewth 14:06, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Striker@multiple projects

Left them a how-to notice. -Barras talk 13:46, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
Status:    In progress.
Left a notice. -Barras talk 13:46, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
Left a notice on hrwiki where he is active. Snowolf How can I help? 14:17, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
Status:    On hold
The local bureaucrat there was last active one day before you requested the renaming there. I'd like to wait another week or two first. However, feel free to mail them to get this done. -Barras talk 13:46, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

I added more wikis that do have an active process and active crat's that seem to have not preform the rename for some reason. I have recently re-requested locally on these wikis. -- とある白い猫 chi? 13:32, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Just posting a remark so this isn't archived. -- とある白い猫 chi? 14:07, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

[edit] गणेश पौडेल@multiple projects

Status:    Done

(List is below)

—The preceding unsigned comment was added by गणेश पौडेल (talk • contribs) 05:31, 28 March 2012‎ (UTC)

It has been more than a month I've requested and the username is not changed in some languages wikies. Could somebody kindly help me in this regard?--गणेश पौडेल (talk) 05:24, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
Hello. Excuse me, but I don't understand much why you've put this request in the section Request for renaming an account of another person. The account गणेश पौडेल belongs to you, isn't it ? -- Quentinv57 (talk) 08:06, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
Oh! I'm really sorry. The account गणेश पौडेल belongs to me. Shall I shift this application to the upper part then? Please let me learn things because I think this request has been made here because somebody suggested to place it from upside to here.--गणेश पौडेल (talk) 04:55, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
  • Yes check.svg Done- I did now most renames and linked you to the correct page for all other projects. As for wikimedia2011 and ten, is a rename really needed there? -Barras talk 11:12, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
  • Thank you for renaming my username. I'd appreciate if you'd rename the remaining two projects Wikimania 2011 and Wiki10 coz I want to record my contributions in those projects as well.--Ganesh Paudel (talk) 00:48, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
    X mark.svg Not done They are both closed wikis, and it is only possible for a steward with an account existing on those wikis to make such modifications, and such changes should only be where it is absolutely necessary, not general housekeeping type matters. — billinghurst sDrewth 02:50, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
  • Please see in Hindi Wiki hi:User:गणेश पौडेल. It is not done there. Please help me.--Ganesh Paudel (talk) 05:35, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Requests for renaming an account of another person

Please add new requests on top (below this message). Sections should be titled your username@project name or your username@multiple projects and make sure you specify the exact account you want to be renamed in the text. For renaming other users' accounts there should be valid reasons, as are for instance insulting, intimidating or impersonating names.
