SRUC

This page hosts requests to stewards and global renamers for a username change across the entire Wikimedia network. Please read the instructions before posting a request.

This is also the page where the usurpation of inactive accounts can be requested.

Cross-wiki requests
Meta-Wiki requests


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.


Simple rename requests

If your rename request is simple and does not involve usurpation of an existing account or other SUL issues, you have two options:

  1. Use the request form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest; or
  2. Submit the request below in this section.

Please use this tool to check if the username is taken before filing a request.

Requests involving merges, usurps or other complications

Please add new requests at the end of the section. Sections should be titled your username and requests should be signed by the requesting user.
Please note: Per standard procedure, accounts with valid edits are not usurped, and the target account must be notified by renamer at least one month before usurpation.

Although this username (آرتا) has been recorded in Persian Wikipedia, But this account is registered 3 years ago and have not any edits. آرتا Also via e-mail is not available. I would like, if I may use this username I edit with it.If username may be usurped --Wikiarta (talk) 15:51, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please notify the target user of the request.—cyberpower ChatHello! 12:13, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I can not notify the target user

Communication via email is not possible with the user. Probably user is an old account that 3 years ago created and Does not have any editing.--Wikiarta (talk) 12:55, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you use the talk page of that user. Savhñ 13:12, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
But is an old account, and probably the user can not read my request :( --Wikiarta (talk) 13:18, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Just do it anyway. We need to give the user a chance to object to the usurpation, if possible. The sooner you message them, the sooner we can start the one month waiting period, and the sooner we can usurp this username. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 15:41, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Status:    On hold

--Adam williams (talk) 20:39, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'll go ahead and claim that one edit to be insignificant enough to be ignored. I'll put this  On hold until September 25, 2016. However if another renamer objects to the edit being insignificant, I'll decline this request.—cyberpower ChatHello! 20:55, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Seems fine to me. -- Ajraddatz (talk) 23:11, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Adam williams: To clarify, all usernames are now global; basically the only time you will ever need to concern yourself about something that isn't global is for very complicated account management things which you shouldn't have to worry about. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 02:03, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
