: Hello. There is no global account for SWM so (in theory) you can log in with SWM and go to Special:MergeAccount to create it BUT those pre-existant accounts will not be added to the SUL unless usurped. That said, as de.wikiquote has [http://de.wikiquote.org/w/index.php?title=Spezial%3ABenutzer&username=&group=bureaucrat&limit=50 local bureaucrats] you'll need to ask them for usurpations. Seems that talk page message works. Please also note that on some wikis usurping accounts that have edits might not be possible. The rest of the wikis that appears on [[sulutil:SWM]] has local bureaucrats also. Please see the [[index of pages where renaming can be requested]] for a list of local request pages. Should you have more questions, feel free to ask us again. Regards, — [[User:Dferg|Dferg]] [[User talk:Dferg|☎]] 18:34, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Is it possible for stewards to create the unified account with my en.wiki account as the home-wiki one instead or is this technically not possible?

}}


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 your 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.

SWM2@dewikiquote

Status:    In progress
Hello. There is no global account for SWM so (in theory) you can log in with SWM and go to Special:MergeAccount to create it BUT those pre-existant accounts will not be added to the SUL unless usurped. That said, as de.wikiquote has local bureaucrats you'll need to ask them for usurpations. Seems that talk page message works. Please also note that on some wikis usurping accounts that have edits might not be possible. The rest of the wikis that appears on sulutil:SWM has local bureaucrats also. Please see the index of pages where renaming can be requested for a list of local request pages. Should you have more questions, feel free to ask us again. Regards, — Dferg ☎ 18:34, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I tried Special:MergeAccount but it tells me that only the one controlling SWM at de.wikiquote may unify the account, hence my question here.

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.
