Instructions[edit]

Before posting here[edit]

Please list the specific projects that you need to be renamed in under your request, unless you are requesting a global rename.

How to add an entry here[edit]

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[edit]

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[edit]

Requests that need to be made in private should be sent using this direct wiki-email interface while logged-in.


Simple rename requests[edit]

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.

Eeee11[edit]

Status:    In progress
@Eeee11: Usernames that are simply names of companies or groups are not permitted. However, usernames are acceptable if they contain a company or group name but are clearly intended to denote an individual person, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", "WidgetFan87", etc. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 05:29, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
@Rxy: 正当な利用者名ですか？ --Stïnger （会話） 15:56, 17 January 2019 (UTC)。
As 1997kB said, Is inappropriate username. / 1997kB さんのおっしゃるとおり、不適切なな利用者名です。--rxy (talk) 16:21, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Requests involving merges, usurps or other complications[edit]

Shortcut:
USURP

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 at least one month before usurpation.

Beasting123[edit]

Status:    On hold

Notification is ok. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 20:50, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

kwargsito[edit]

Status:    On hold
Warning: A username cannot begin with a lower-case letter: kwargs → Kwargs
  • Previous renames: current user, target user
  • Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
  • Reason: La cuenta solicitada para tomar o usurpar, es una cuenta antigua de mi propiedad, la cual perdí el acceso y los medios para su recuperación. Mi usuario actual posee un diminutivo, por lo que carece de seriedad.

--Kwargsito (talk) 00:20, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

텐파워[edit]

Status:    Not done

Tenpower라는 계정은 이미 4년전에 기여를 1번하고 더 이상의 기여가 없습니다. 원래 Tenpower라는 계정을 가져가려고 했으나 저 계정이 존재하는 바람에 텐파워(Oldname)로 가입했습니다. 즉 Tenpower라는 계정은 더 이상 기여가 없으므로 인수를 하고싶습니다. 감사합니다.--텐파워 (talk) 14:54, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

  • @-revi:. Can you handle this one. Thanks much!--Cohaf (talk) 15:11, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
    Before revi comes here, I'm sure it's a change merely from Hangul to English. --Super Wang on zhwiki (Share your opinions) 12:44, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
    X mark.svg Not done. You're account is not established enough in order to usurp another account. Nihlus 06:46, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

Semako[edit]

Status:    In progress
  • Wiki: mediawiki.org.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
  • Old Username: Semako96 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
  • New Username: Semako (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
  • Previous renames: current user, target user
  • Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
  • Reason: A 15 year old vadalism account with an infinite ban after a single rreverted edit prevents me from using the username I want to have. And because I don't have 400 edits on a single wikimedia wiki yet, I am seemingly not allowed to usurp that totally useless account. That's why I just want a local rename for mediawiki.org, since I'm using this account for support questions when my own wiki has any problems, and in that wiki and almost any other page I am registered as “Semako“ without numbers. Also, I recently registered that name on Translatewiki, since I translated two extensions locally and want to translate them for everyone too.
    I also don' need my accout for wikipedia projects or commons, since I already have another account for those projects (over 12k edits in dewiki).
