Instructions

SUL finalization

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

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

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

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.

Requests

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

Does account 'Sekky' on en.wikipedia belong to you? Ruslik (talk) 17:09, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your reply, Mr. Ruslik. I don't have another account, so the account 'Sekky' on en.wikipedia doesn't belong to me. Should I choose other name? Could you tell me What I should do to change my name on ja.wikipedia? Thank you so much for your kindness. --関根智一 (talk) 09:32, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Please, choose a different name. Ruslik (talk) 10:04, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I see. Then, is 'Tsekine' OK for my new name?--関根智一 (talk) 00:32, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This name also exist on jawiki. Does it belong to you? Ruslik (talk) 19:07, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please, log in and sign this request. Ruslik (talk) 17:09, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Ruslik0: Making him create a global account to have a local account renamed seems pretty useless. I believe it'd be better if he posted an edit on jawiki confirming he is the one requesting the rename and provided the diff for confirmation here. Savhñ 09:07, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That will be ok too. Ruslik (talk) 17:20, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I logged in jawiki and created a new page (click here) on jawiki. Does it help you? --114.163.203.14 14:42, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
For confirmation purposes, we would like you to make specific reference to this request, using the edit summary for instance. Savhñ 14:55, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I just created a new account "Cossack" (oldname) in the meta-wiki and edit this message. --Cossack (talk) 14:27, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Please, follow this link. Ruslik (talk) 19:10, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Ruslik0. I tried, but error message says that the home wiki is he.wikipedia.org. This account is not mine. --Cossack (talk) 11:16, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, the Cossack account on he.wiki has the right to SUL since he has the largest editcount. I suggest you choose a different nick. Savhñ 11:29, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
He is a long absent valued user on he.wiki. Please choose another name, and we will execute this request. Matanya (talk) 11:34, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I created another account named "Cossack3rd" on the jawiki. This is the name I wanted to change to. Since no one uses this name, the account is unified automatically. I provide the link between the old and the new accounts on the user pages of both "Cossack" (the old account) and "Cossack3rd" (the new one). Sorry for bothering you because I am not familiar with the wiki rules.
Thank you for the clarification. However, before performing this rename/usurpation, I would like to confirm: You want to have your current "Cossack" account on ja.wiki attached (renamed) to "Cossack3rd"? Savhñ 07:10, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, please. --Cossack3rd (talk) 04:50, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Warning: A username cannot begin with a lower-case letter: lugevas → Lugevas
On hold until a bug is fixed. --MF-W 20:09, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@MF-Warburg: I only have a few edits on wikimedia commons. All I really care about is changing my username on English wikipedia. Should I just go ahead and do that and wait until the bug is fixed before doing a global edit?Xavier86 (talk) 21:04, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The bug fix should be deployed this night so, if all goes well, the rename can be done tomorrow (or this night). -Barras talk 21:16, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That now happened. Done - @Lugevas: If you wanted to rename for privacy reasons, it was probably better to rename all of your accounts, no? ;-) --MF-W 23:53, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Cheers and thank you! Lugevas (talk) 01:05, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well-Informed Optimist@global

Status:    Withdrawn
Hold on... the newest username you want could be seen as an allusion to Special:Centralauth/Yuvipanda! --MF-W 14:59, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
But Special:Centralauth/Tellaten?. --Well-Informed Optimist (talk) 16:01, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Personally, I think the concern of that user is ridiculous, and you should not worry about that. With that being said, if you still want a rename, we will grant it, but this will probably be your last rename. --Rschen7754 05:51, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Calvin 1998@global

Status:    Done
Warning: A username cannot begin with a lower-case letter: lartoven → Lartoven
I'm not sure that a username relating to suicide is appropriate... --Rschen7754 06:18, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I don't associate it with suicide, but if that is a concern then perhaps User:lartoven (confirmed globally no accounts by this name), which is not a word in any lanuage. Calvin 1998 (talk) 06:21, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Swap autodefenestrator -> lartoven to template  — billinghurst sDrewth 10:11, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

DynamicBot Srv1@Global

Status:    Not done
Not done Since a local account exist on kowiki, no global rename is possible. Ruslik (talk) 12:51, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
because renaming in ko.wikipedia has already done by local bureaucrat(Srv2 too), can you do global rename except ko.wikipedia?(if possible) --Dynamicwork (claim) 14:05, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It is not technically possible to do so. If the kowiki 'crat could rename it back to the original name, you could re-merge that account and we could continue with the global rename. Ajraddatz (talk) 14:14, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

DynamicBot Srv2@Global

Status:    Not done
Not done, same as above. Ajraddatz (talk) 14:15, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Clarisa@xxproject

Status:    Not done
Warning: A username cannot begin with a lower-case letter: dreamillywikipedia → Dreamillywikipedia
No global account with this user name. You will need to ask locally at the wiki of concern, and you will need to login to do that edit to confirm your identity.  — billinghurst sDrewth 10:09, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the comment. Local (ja wiki) requests won't be accepted anymore as of 23 July 2013 and should be done by stewards instead. And I'm afraid that I cannot log in meta.m.wikimedia.org because I don't have global ID, I have ja wiki ID only, please instruct how to deal with.
