[edit] How to add an entry here

===Account name @ project===

I request that [[:xx:User:old_name]] on the ''project name'' be changed to [[:xx:User:new_name]]:
*'''Local old user page:''' [[:xx:User:old_name]]
*'''Automatic local list of bureaucrats:''' {{stewardry|xx|project}}
*'''Local request link:''' [http:// diff-link to the local request on your local talk-page for example]
(your remarks here) ~~~~

===Example @ en.wikipedia===
{{status}}
I request that [[:w:en:User:Example]] on the ''English Wikipedia'' be changed to [[:w:en:User:Example2]]:
*'''Local old user page:''' [[:w:en:User:Example]]
*'''Automatic local list of bureaucrats:''' {{stewardry|en|wikipedia}}
*'''Local request link:''' [http://xx.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:TestUser&curid=4728&diff=26597&oldid=20341]
(your remarks here) ~~~~

[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.

[edit] Making a request for your own account

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 formless 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. Ensure that you don't request renaming another user. Please make sure before posting your request here that the username that you want to have is still free. You can test that by going to the (new) user page and looking into the sidebar. If there is a link to the user contributions, the account already exists.

If you want to have changed your username 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 an own account

Please add new requests on top (below this message). Sections should be titled your username@project name or your username@multiple projects please.

[edit] Hexagon1 @ got.wikipedia

I request that got:User:Hexagon1 on the gotwiki be changed to got:User:Happenstance:

• Local old user page: got:User:Hexagon1
• Automatic local list of bureaucrats: stewardry:got:wikipedia • listcrats
• Local request link: [1]

Per ongoing global rename. —what a crazy random happenstance 04:25, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

 Done. Sj+ translate 01:59, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] uriankhaiotgoid @ mn.wikipedia

I request that mn:User:uriankhaiotgoid on the Mongolian Wikipedia be changed to mn:User:chinneeb:

• Local old user page: mn:User:uriankhaiotgoid
• Automatic local list of bureaucrats: stewardry:mn:wikipedia • listcrats
• Local request link: [http:// diff-link to the local request on your local talk-page for example]

I didn't know about the Global Account thing. I usually edit across a lot of wikimedia sites, and would like to have the same account name everywhere. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but can you change the mn.wikipedia name back to Chinneeb? --Chinneeb 12:31, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Chinneeb @ mn.wikipedia

I request that mn:User:chinneeb on the Mongolian Wikipedia be changed to mn:User:uriankhaiotgoid:

• Local old user page: mn:User:Chinneeb
• Automatic local list of bureaucrats: stewardry:mn:wikipedia • listcrats
• Local request link: [http:// diff-link to the local request on your local talk-page for example]

My account is also global, can the name change be global too? Chinneeb 11:58, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

 Done for mnwiki. For a global renaming you need to request renaming on every wiki where you have the account (see a list on Special:MergeAccount). --თოგო ^(D) 15:49, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't know about the Global Account thing. I usually edit across a lot of wikimedia sites, and would like to have the same account name everywhere. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but can you change the mn.wikipedia name back to Chinneeb? --Chinneeb 15:01, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Account II...Richard...II @ fr.wikipedia

I request that fr:User:II...Richard...II on the Wikipedia en français be changed to fr:Archimëa:

• Local old user page: fr:User:II...Richard...II (it have been deleted)
• Automatic local list of bureaucrats: stewardry:fr:wikipedia • listcrats
• Local request link: Request on frwiki All request have been made to existing bureautrac, all others account still need to be renamed. Thx Richard 82.233.88.62 08:51, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

If I understand correctly, you have been renamed at the French Wikipedia and your request is now to have your other accounts renamed, right? Looking at your contributions at other projects I suggest that you only request Commons:User:II...Richard...II to be renamed. You'll need to do that at Commons:Commons:Changing_username/Current_requests as Commons has its own bureaucrats. You'll need to locally request name changes on projects with active bureaucrats, so I personally wouldn't think it's worth the effort. --Erwin 08:58, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Hm oK. but i don't want that. perhaps i should have said : i changed my username to be anonymous. Richard is my real surname. I want it to be deleted, as all this account.

I did my job and i spent many times to make many requests on each project.

Now do yours. --82.233.88.62 20:33, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

You do understand that there will still be a record of that account being created and renamed, yes? And we do not delete accounts at all, only rename. If you want privacy, do not rename the accounts you did not use, it only makes more associations with that name, it does not remove them. Kylu 23:25, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

I WANT IT to be renamed (look this ! http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Herg%C3%A9.jpg&action=history), but when. Did i not lost enought time with this ? it's amazing --II...Richard...II 13:16, 14 October 2009 (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.
