This page hosts requests for a username change on a Wikimedia wiki with no active bureaucrats. Please read the instructions before posting a request.
Please note: local requests for this wiki go to Meta:Changing username. In the future (after SUL finalisation in August), global username changes may be requested here to be done by stewards.

Instructions [edit]

Before posting here [edit]

If there is an active bureaucrat on the local wiki (type Special:ListUsers/bureaucrat), please ask them to fulfill your request 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.

How to add an entry here [edit]

To add an entry, please copy and paste the text below into the appropriate section.

=== Oldname@xxproject ===
{{SRUC
 |status     = <!--don't change this line-->
 |domain     = xx.project
 |Oldname    = 
 |Newname    = 
 |confirmation = [http:// diff-link to the local request on your local talk-page for example]<!--Local request link-->
 |reason     = (your remarks here) ~~~~
}}

For example:

=== Example@enwiki ===
{{SRUC
 |status     = <!--don't change this line-->
 |domain     = en.wikipedia
 |Oldname    = Example
 |Newname    = Foo
 |confirmation = [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Example&curid=4728&diff=26597&oldid=20341]
 |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,
  • 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.

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

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.

Requests for renaming your own account [edit]

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

Mewtwowimmer@eswiki, Mewtwowimmer@frwiki, Mewtwowimmer@itwiki [edit]

Status:    In progress.
I suggest you simply wait until they will get automatically renamed on 27 May. --MF-W 03:39, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Etamatic123@wikidatawiki, Etamatic123@{en, nl, es, sl, hu, pt, is, lt, no, als}.wikipedia.org [edit]

Status:    In progress.
  • Wiki: wikidata.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
  • Old Username: Etamatic123 (talk • edits • logs • SULinfo • cross-wiki-contribs • CentralAuth)
  • New Username: RedJohn (talk • edits • logs • SULinfo • cross-wiki-contribs • CentralAuth)
  • Confirmation difflink: I let my old account be blocked on the German wiki (see here), so I cannot post another confirmation there... but it was previously accepted and verified by several other wikis (see here). Please do not forward any links in discussions etc. to my new account if possible. Concerning the language-wikis, I posted requests on most of the Rename-pages, but there have not yet been confirmed, or have just been skipped (and newer requests have been confirmed), probably because English was not a good choice for posting there ;) I'm grateful for every performed renaming - my personal priority corresponds to the ordering (from left to right). Thanks!!
  • Reason: I changed my original username on the German wiki, and would like to unify my names also on other accounts. Thanks--RedJohn (talk) 14:55, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Stewards: rename user
I'm afraid Stewards cannot act on projects that have active Bureaucrats, and all these projects have them. We can't help you here QuiteUnusual (talk) 15:07, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
Hm... ok... where to put the request for wikidata? Did not find the page there. Thanks--RedJohn (talk) 15:09, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

See the index of pages where renaming can be requested. PiRSquared17 (talk) 15:21, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
