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.

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.

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.

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.

Cesco @ multiple projects

Status: Not done

I request that m:User:Cesco commons:User:Cesco on the multiple projects be changed to m:User:Krukouski commons:User:Krukouski:

Hello! Both projects have local bureaucrats to do renames. See here for the page on meta and here for commons. --Barras ^talk 15:08, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I'm sorry, I didn't understand the principle of requests. I have to change my username, first of all, on be-wiki, because we have no bureaucrats there. --Cesco 15:41, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sjefbindels @ no projects

Status: Not done

I request that xx:User:Sjefbindels on no projects be changed to xx:User:ddiamondd:

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

(Just trying to get out of the search-engine results.. I don't have any edits, as far as I know. Apologies for the inconvenience.) 87.198.243.78 19:12, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that the only project on which you have an account is the Dutch Wikipedia. Please request renaming at w:nl:Wikipedia:Verzoek voor hernoeming van account while being logged in. --Erwin 20:34, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Juleshs31 @ multiple projects

Status: Not done

I request that m:User:Juleshs31,species:User:Juleshs31 on multiple projects be changed to m:User:JulesMattsson,species:User:JulesMattsson

Local old user page: m:User:Juleshs31
- Automatic local list of bureaucrats: stewardry:xx:project • listcrats
Local request link: [http:// diff-link to the local request on your local talk-page for example]

(Am trying to re-unify all my accounts that were Juleshs31 and i'm trying to change to JulesMattsson. Sorry if i got this request slightly wrong, am not great at markup; mainly contribute to Wikinews. Basically, i'd like all the projects listed at http://toolserver.org/~vvv/sulutil.php?user=Juleshs31 to be changed to JulesMattsson) Juleshs31 15:59, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

On all projects with bureaucrats, you need to ask a local bureaucrat. All projects that you're currently registered under have local bureaucrats, though considering that on none of these you have edit-counts reaching double digits, I'd suggest just re-registering under a new username instead. Just a suggestion. Kylu 16:38, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's a good idea, I may as well just do that. Is there any way to delete my current accounts on them? --Juleshs31 17:33, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No it's not possible to delete a user account. --Erwin 10:14, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nja247 @ multiple projects

Status: Not done

I have changed my name in my home wiki (en) and have posted a note on my talk page there to confirm the request to change the three above and for verification [1]. This is being done so the en, en simple, meta and commons have SUL. Thanks. NJA 18:22, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

en, simple, meta, and commons all have local bureaucrats, you should ask at the local request page for that project. See the left side of the screen, under the "Index of requestpages" toolbox for links to the local request pages. Kylu 16:40, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Closed per Kylu. --Erwin 10:14, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

Done. You just have to merge this account into your global account. --FiliP ██ 22:09, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Chinneeb @ mn.wikipedia

Status: Done

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

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

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Account II...Richard...II @ fr.wikipedia

Status: Done

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

This account have to be ranamed on :

arwiki
fiwiki
metawiki <- This account have been created yesterday... really the managment of the situation is more than sad
ndswiki
nlwiki
pdcwiki
ruwiki
trwiki
ukwiki

I'm getting really bored with this. Please rename this account --II...Richard...II 10:37, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done for pdc. Not done for the others. All these projects have active bureaucrats, ask them. --თოგო ^(D) 10:41, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I just discovered there is bureaucrat for commes, really...

fr.wiki bureaucrat page is not up to date... that's why i did not made a request on this wiki... all other wiki witch have ones, i made it.

Thanks for the remane...

Do you have a page with a list of links to all this bureaucrat ?

And a link for here on meta.wiki --II...Richard...II 11:05, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Look on the left side of the screen, there are a number of boxes, one says "sister-project" and below that, "index of requestpages". Select the link for the wiki you are interested in, and it will take you directly to the correct page for that wiki. Meta, for instance, is covered at Meta:Changing username. Different projects have different requirements for renaming, and it's entirely up to the bureaucrats at that project to perform the rename or not: You may want to ask for assistance in wording your requests.
