Politik-relaterede spørgsmål
Er BrugernavnRobot i orden som brugernavn?
Nej. Sådanne anmodninger bliver generelt afvist fordi ordet kun er tilladt til bots på nogle wikier.
Kan jeg ignorere Navnet er for tæt på... advarslen?
Du kan ignorere advarslen i specielle tilfælde. For eksempel når et efterspurgt brugernavn indeholder nogle specialtegn kan outputtet fra AntiSpoof være forkert, se phabricator:T105626.
Sådan håndteres adskillige omdøbningsanmodninger
Politikken tillader kun navneændringer hvis der er en god grund til at gennemføre en omdøbning.
- If the rename happened a long time back (say a few years), treat it as a first-time request.
- If the rename happened within 6 months, the request should generally be refused (example, example).
There will be situations where you will need to use your discretion - for example, where a user needs to be renamed again because their first rename ended up with a username block, or where it's clear that the user made a typo in their initial request. There will also be cases where the user, for example, pleads for a re-rename saying that they really don't like their current username. In that case, notify them that this will (likely) be the last time we change the username.
If a user keeps on requesting renames or there is evidence that they are abusing the system, they can be placed on the global rename blacklist (example, mailing list example).
Er nul redigering-omdøbninger tilladte?
They are allowed. Some users use Wikipedia accounts for saving articles to reading lists on Wikipedia apps and they hardly make any edits. Earlier such requests were rejected with a claim that they save server resources, but that's no longer true [1] and we shouldn't be worried about server resources.
However, usurp and cases where antispoof override is required should normally be refused.
Kan upassende brugernavne omdøbes?
The policy does not allow such renaming. Apart from that, it would be a lot of work to hide all rename logs globally. Such usernames should be globally hidden by a steward. You can file a request at SRG or email stewards
wikimedia.org (especially for user name that should be suppressed).
Users wanting to change to their real name
If a user asks for a rename to their real name, their application should explicitly confirm the risks of using their real name. If this is not the case, reject the request asking them to confirm explicitly if they want their real name to be used. Example requests: this and this
Handling rename requests for violating username policy
Check the block logs and the talk page of that user. If there is evidence that the username is not the only reason for the block (for example the user was blocked for spamming), decline such requests and ask the user to resolve the block first (example).
If in doubt, leave it to someone who's familiar with that wiki.
Tekniske spørgsmål
Er der begrænsninger på redigeringer for konti der bliver omdøbt?
Nej, der er ingen sådan begrænsning. Førhen plejede der at være en grænse på 100.000 redigeringer hvor vi var nødt til at koordinere med systemadministratorer, men efter nogle tekniske forbedringer er dette ikke længere nødvendigt. Vi omdøbte endda en konto med 1.000.000+ redigeringer [2] efter disse forbedringer.
Omdøbningen tager længere tid end den plejer?
Yes, It might be possible that a rename job runs for hours. If the job runs for more than 3 hours, it is suggested to file a report on Phabricator.
Oplægningsloggen på Commons opdateres ikke?
Dette er et cache problem og burde løse sig selv efter nogle timer. Du kan rydde dem manuelt hvis du har lyst.
Er det muligt at logge ind mens omdøbningen er i gang?
Det er ikke muligt at logge ind mens omdøbningen er i gang. Brugere der prøver på at logge ind vil se en advarsel.
Kan jeg omdøbe mig selv?
Nej. Du kan ødelægge din konto ved at gøre det.
Andre almindelige spørgsmål
Name too similar to existing accounts or used to username of someone who got renamed
I tilfælde af lignende brugernavne er det bedst at følge ACCs flowchart for lignende brugernavne
In case of similar usernames, it's also useful to check if the username requested was username of someone else. This can be done by going to Global rename logs and entering the username in "Previous username:" field. If username is found to be name of someone else who got renamed then such request should be declined unless it's the same user.
Teknisk uacceptable konti
To know technical restrictions on usernames, please see this guide. Also MediaWiki doesn't allow registration of number only or mixed script username but antispoof will not show warning in such cases, so it's best to check them by going to Sign up page.
Vanishing
Please see Right to vanish for such cases. It's best to leave such requests for someone who's well aware of local policies or practices and can read the language since such requests are often used to hide or obfuscate bad conduct.
Requests should generally not be denied if the requester does not providing a reason, although renamers may inquire at their discretion - such as in cases where the requester may be confused. Vanish requests processed through the queue will also further deactivate the account, preventing this process from being reversed by renamers.
Similarly, don't worry about vanish requests with just one or two edits - they should normally be approved. See this page on the mailing list for more details.
Many users confuse vanishing with a clean start and say in their vanishing request that they intend to create a new account. Such requests should be declined (example).
Promotional and shared accounts
Some project allow such names (e.g. Wikimedia Commons) some even don't allow names like "John at XYZ company" (e.g. Italian Wikipedia) so again it's best to leave them for local renamers.
