This is a tutorial for the Special:RenameUser tool which only stewards and global renamers have access to (although bureaucrats on individual wikis used to perform this task).
DO check the box "Mover as páginas de usuário, páginas de discussão de usuário (e suas subpáginas) para o novo nome" if it should be moved e.g. if you rename a user. If you rename a vandal/impostor the old userpage is most likely vandalism, so delete it before (or afterwards) but don't forget to delete the redirect if you decide to move anything that should not redirect to the new username.
NÃO use nenhuma conta que tenha feito contribuições.
This is the renaming interface. The "Nome de usuário atual:" is the account that needs to be renamed. The "Novo nome de usuário:" is the account that the user has requested. Write a reason for renaming in the third dialog box. If necessary, check the box that says "Mover as páginas de usuário, páginas de discussão de usuário (e suas subpáginas) para o novo nome". You can check the ⧼renameuser-submit-blocklog⧽ before renaming. Clicking the Enviar button will initiate the rename.Este é um aviso antes da renomeação, mas nem sempre aparece.Check the box that says "Sim, renomeie o usuário" to attempt a rename despite the warning.This is an error message that is shown when the account name is in use. You will need to "usurp" the account as shown below.
Usurpação
This is the rename interface. Notice that the "Nome de usuário atual:" is the target from the section above. In the "Novo nome de usuário:" box the word "(usurped)" has been added to "Old Account" to indicate that it is being moved out of the way to make room for "New Account".This is a warning that sometimes appears before the rename. Check the box that says "Sim, renomeie o usuário" to continue with the usurpation.This is the notice of a successful usurpation. You have made it possible to rename "New Account" to "Old Account", which will be the next step.This is the warning prior to the rename, but it does not show up all the time. Check the box that says "Sim, renomeie o usuário" to continue with the usurpation.Este é o aviso da renomeação bem-sucedida. A tarefa está completa.
