Please check Index of pages where renaming can be requested before requesting a rename here.

This page is where stewards can be requested to deal with problems relating to the unified login feature. These include:

Usurpation of accounts
Deletion of global accounts

Stewards: for instructions, see the steward handbook. The interface is at Special:CentralAuth.

Requests

Here you can request your account deletion and usurpation on wikis without active bureaucrats, or request the deletion of a global account if you need to be renamed or to usurp an account elsewhere. Please add new requests at the bottom!

This is a list of local pages where requests for renames can be made.

If you want to request the renaming of multiple accounts on wikis without local bureaucrats please use the format:

*{{Merging|YourName|language shortcut|project shortcut}}

See the template documentation for all of the project codes and more examples.

Please sign your requests with --~~~~, thank you!

Example:

===example user===
{{status}}
I want to be renamed to ... with the following accounts // I want to usurp the following accounts
*{{Merging|YourName|tpi|w}}
*{{Merging|YourName|ga|wikt}}
*{{Merging|YourName|gd|wikt}}
*{{Merging|YourName|fo|s}}

GMM

Status: In progress

I am an admin on Russian Wikivoyage and would appreciate assistance in converting it into a SUL account.

This service reports there is no global account with such name. However, when I use ru.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Special:MergeAccount it asks for a password for a pt-wikipedia account which I don't own. I tried to create a new account on Meta to use as a home wiki but I get a message that GMM is too similar to an existing account 'GmM'.

I have no intention to claim accounts on Wikipedias (in any language) but a SUL would be handy to use on Meta and Commons. We have an active bureacraut on ru-wikivoyage but I don't think he can help. Please advise. -- GMM (talk)

You should ignore the password request and proceed with global account creation. Ruslik (talk) 13:56, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I don't quite get it. I have no option to skip the password request, here's the screenshot. When I enter my Wikivoyage password it says the home wiki has a different password. How do I force-set my home wiki to ru-wikivoyage? Thank you. -- GMM (talk)

Hello. Your home wiki is already ru.voy, by all definitions (because you have more than 0 edits which is what the other local accounts with the same name have). This is a software error, which I've reported at bugzilla:42106. Thanks for your patience in providing more information. We'll now test a couple of workarounds which involve creation by a privileged user and escalation of flags.

Normally, I'd have told you to create local accounts without worrying, but I think that has been forbidden recently too. --Nemo 18:56, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I've created a global account for you, I'll send you the password and instructions by email. --Nemo 18:58, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! The issue has been partially resolved, I'm fine with that for now. GMM (talk) 05:17, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The user now has a working global account and can use it on other wikis, but the ru.voy account is not attached yet, nor centralauth wishes to recognize it. It would be trivial for a steward to rename the local user to whatever temporary username and then back to GMM; this could be enough. --Nemo 09:50, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Marking in progress: please try the rename, CentralAuth still doesn't see the local unattached account. --Nemo 17:01, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Local bureaucrats available :( --Bencmq (talk) 09:39, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Being this a SUL issue, to which local bureaucrats might not be familiar with (new project, different system, etc...); wouldn't help if we go over Wikivoyage resolving the SUL problems as we did when SUL was introduced? Thanks. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 22:27, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

On that basis, I've gone ahead and done a swap. Let me know if that works. MBisanz ^talk 17:04, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I want to usurp the following accounts because I have this name in all other project.

I send to the bureaucrat in Egyptian version but he didn't know how to usurp :( and you can see his replay on my local talk page [1] زياد (talk) 18:33, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The account on arwikiquote has 11 edits. You should probably notify this user. Ruslik (talk) 07:36, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cyan Gardevoir

Status: Done

I placed an usurpation request at en.wikipedia asking to be renamed to User:Satellizer, but, according to User:MBisanz, "A Spanish user already owns the SUL. You will need to go to meta:Steward requests/SUL requests and get the SUL deleted before we can consider renaming." So can you please delete the unused SUL if it is possible. Thanks, Cyan Gardevoir (talk) 20:32, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
