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]

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.

Requests involving merges, usurps or other complications[edit]

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.


Idh0854[edit]

Status:    On hold
  • Stewards/Global renamers: rename user
  • Reason: I hope that removes any personal informations in my account name. And I already known as "가람" (Garam in Hangeul) in Korean wikipedia and I using the name "Garam" as the author of a work in commons. Also I own alternative account named "user:가람". However, I already confirm that user name "Garam" (5 edits only) was only used in DE wikipedia at 2007.[1] But I think that user didn't join the Wikimedia project in 2015, because "Registered" is completely consistent with the "Attached on", and that user's edit is only until 2007. Thanks.

Zdziś[edit]

Status:    On hold
  • Stewards/Global renamers: rename user
  • Reason: I would rather use the usual form of name instead of the diminutive (in Polish). Zdzisław has only one reverted edit (10 years ago) on pl wikinews, and the account has been blocked.

--Zdziś (talk) 21:07, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

@Zdziś: You need to notify this user on his talk page about your usurpation on the pl.wikinews using this template: Template:Usurpation requested/pl. Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 23:16, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
I see that it has already been done by Alaa , thank you :) , Zdziś (talk) 19:37, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Wolfguardian64[edit]

Status:    On hold
  • Stewards/Global renamers: rename user
  • Reason: I'd like to rename to either wolfguardian or wolfguard, both show up as not registered in the English Wiki. How can I find and usurp-request them? thank you.

--Wolfguardian64 (talk) 10:47, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

  • Stewards/Global renamers: rename user
  • Reason: your remarks here

【ja】本望だったユーザー名だからです。また、このアカウントは登録だけされていて活動実績がありません。
“
It is because it is a user name that was requested. In addition, this account is registered only, there is no activity record.

I always wished I had to change my username. Also this account has user creation log only and doesn't have contribs.

Oncenawhile[edit]

Status:    On hold
  • Stewards/Global renamers: rename user
  • Reason: After many years as an active editor across wikis, primarily on wikipedia, I would like to request to have my username spelled correctly. I chose the original name without an "i" because "onceinawhile" was taken. But I have recently noticed that the username onceinawhile has been used for only a single edit, ever, and I would therefore like to request usurpation. Many thanks. I have notified the onceinawhile talkpage at [2].

Gamebuster19901[edit]

Status:    On hold
  • Stewards/Global renamers: rename user
  • Reason: Tired of having to input the sequence of numbers all the time, and the name I want only has 2 suppressed edits on the Czech wiki.

Istcol[edit]

Status:    On hold
  • Stewards/Global renamers: rename user
  • Reason: I want to change my current username "Istcol" to "Manchiu". I had change my username from "Advisory" to "Istcol" seven years ago because "Advisory" had been registered by other in enwiki , hence, I changed my username first time in order to make contribution within global wiki project. Now, after several considerations, I would like to request of usurpation from " Manchiu" on accout of meaningful and relevant to me and Manchiu's last active status was ten years ago and has 20 edits only on enwiki. I hope stewards can weight up my request. Thanks.

Andromeda~enwiki[edit]

Status:    In progress
  • Stewards/Global renamers: rename user
  • Reason: "Flordeneu" was my username in the Spanish wiki. My username in the English wiki was "Andromeda" and was changed to "Andromeda~enwiki" after the global merger. Since I hate "Andromeda~enwiki", I'll wish to usurp my own old username to use globally, since mergers are not available. Thanks.

--Andromeda~enwiki (talk) 19:12, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Logged as Flordeneu to confirm ownership of both accounts. Flordeneu (talk) 19:19, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
@Andromeda~enwiki: -just to clarify- you wanna change your name from (Andromeda~enwiki) to (Flordeneu) globally, yes? --Alaa :)..! 12:35, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
Yes, that's it. Thanks! Andromeda~enwiki (talk)
@Andromeda~enwiki: Flordeneu will changed to Flordeneu (usurp), okay? --Alaa :)..! 09:14, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
Do you mean Andromeda~enwiki will become Flordeneu and Flordeneu will become Flordeneu (usurp)? If that, then OK.
Andromeda~enwiki (talk) 20:35, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
I think that later it will be possible to re-attach your old account eswiki@Flordeneu to newly renamed Flordeneu (former Andromeda~enwiki) account. Ruslik (talk) 11:45, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
