This page hosts requests for a username change. Please read the instructions before posting a request. Global username changes may also be requested here to be done by stewards and global renamers.

This is also the page where stewards can be requested to deal with problems relating to the unified login feature. These include:

  • Usurpation of accounts
  • Deletion of global accounts
Cross-wiki requests
Meta-Wiki requests


Instructions[edit]

Before posting here[edit]

Please list specific projects that you need rename in under your request, unless you are requesting a completely 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@xxproject ===
{{SRUC
 |status     = <!--don't change this line-->
 |domain     = xx.project
 |Oldname    = 
 |Newname    =
 |confirmation = [https:// diff-link to the local request on your local talk-page for example]<!--Local request link-->
 |reason     = (your remarks here)
--~~~~
}}

For example:

=== Example@jawiki ===
{{SRUC
 |status     = <!--don't change this line-->
 |domain     = ja.wikipedia
 |Oldname    = Example
 |Newname    = Foo
 |confirmation = [http://ja.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Example&curid=4728&diff=26597&oldid=20341]
 |reason     = (your remarks here)
--~~~~
}}

For global rename requests:

=== Example@global ===
{{SRUC
 |status     = <!--don't change this line-->
 |domain     = global
 |Oldname    = Example
 |Newname    = Foo
 |confirmation = [http://meta.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Example&curid=4728&diff=26597&oldid=20341]
 |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,
  • the wiki project on which you ask for the renaming,
  • a link to the local (old) user page, where you put a formal 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. 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.

For changing your username on several wikis: If you want to have your username changed 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. If you wish to be renamed on all wikis, and there is no existing local or global account at the new name, you can simply put "global", and you will be globally renamed.

Making a request for an account that is not yours[edit]

If you want to have an account renamed because its 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.

Private requests[edit]

Requests that need to be made in private should be sent to stewards(at)wikimedia.org.

SUL account deletions[edit]

Please specify the account to be deleted, e.g. by linking to the Special:CentralAuth page for it, and the reason for it.

Global requests[edit]

Two options exist for requesting renames

  1. Use the (new) request form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest; or
  2. Utilise the manual process outlined above, and submitted below in this section.


Please add new requests at the end of this section. Sections should be titled your username@global if you wish to be globally renamed.


Requests with usurps and complex renames[edit]

Please add new requests at the end of the section. Sections should be titled your username@project name .

Local renames are no longer possible by local users as per gerrit:160158. Thus, this is to be done by stewards. Vogone (talk) 15:30, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
Hi User:Chess. So you want your 123chess456 accounts on commons, simplewiki, simplewikt and wikidata to be renamed to "Chess"? --MF-W 15:50, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
Well, I've usurped on enwiki, so please change all of my accounts that you are able to to "Chess". I will have to make an usurp request on every individual wiki? Chess (talk) 20:03, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
There is not yet "global usurpation policy", so I guess you will have to request usurpation locally for now and the bureaucrats will have to ask Stewards to fulfill those local requests. –xeno 20:36, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
Per Xeno above, we can't start ignoring local usurpation guidelines, asking local bureaucrats for comment might indeed be the best solution, though we also have to keep in mind that this is atransitional period to SUL finalisation where all these accounts will be forcibly renamed. Done on es.wiki - as a local bureaucrat - and on enwikibooks and enwiktionary per previous precedents. Savhñ 20:53, 15 September 2014 (UTC) And some more (kawikibooks, trwikibooks, trwikiquote, mediawikiwiki, jawiki) based on previous precedents. Savhñ 21:37, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
Two issues should be separated here: 1.) The renaming of the remaining 123chess456 accounts who have edits to the new name; 2.) The renaming ("usurpation") of the unattached Chess accounts.
In order to solve 1.), I have just done the following renames: (so please visit Special:MergeAccount)
Chess@commons->Chess (self-usurped)@commons
123chess456@commons->Chess@commons
123chess456@simple->Chess@simple
123chess456@simplewikt->Chess@simplewikt
Chess@wikidata->Chess (self-usurped)@wikidata
123chess456@wikidata->Chess@wikidata
The only remaining 123chess456'es with edits are on Meta and enwiki. That is obviously unsolvable at the moment, maybe you will want to request a merge when that function exists. --MF-W 21:04, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

Pelikana@en.wikipedia (Usurp. request)[edit]

Status:    On hold
  • Stewards/Global renamers: rename user
  • Reason: I would like to usurp this account to complete my unification

--Pelikana (talk) 13:27, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Uitgevoerd. Heb je een account op en.wiki die eventueel bij je globaal account toegevoegd moet worden? Savhñ 13:34, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
Yes, user:Pepelikana on en.wp could be merged please, ty Pelikana (talk) 13:44, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
@Pelikana, can you provide an edit with the Pepelikana@enwiki account, so we can confirm you own that account? Savhñ 13:52, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
here you go and ty. Can i do a request for the separated wp.de:user here too? Pelikana (talk) 13:56, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
Geachte Pelikana, na het te hebben besproken met andere stewards, en aangezien nu beide accounts op en.wiki van jou zijn en je ook bovendien één bewerking hebt op nl.wiki met Pepelikana, lijkt het ons het verstandigst om te wachten op de activering van de Account-merge-tool. Hiermee zal het mogelijk worden andere accounts onder één naam samen te voegen. De verwachting is dat deze tool in de komende maand beschikbaar wordt.
Als je een ander account hebt op de.wiki die je ook aan dit accout toegevegd wenst, laat het dan hier even weten. Zodra het technisch mogelijk is, zullen we het uitvoeren. Savhñ 14:14, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Xavax@global[edit]

Status:    On hold

--Clavax (talk) 20:45, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Placing on hold pending the deployment of AccountMerge, since you have two global accounts and have contributed with both to commons and to other projects. I have updated the confirmation diff, since the one you provided was broken. Savhñ 10:44, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

  • New Username: khaled (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • similar names • CentralAuth)
  • Confirmation difflink: [4]
  • Stewards/Global renamers: rename user
  • Reason: Dear Wikimedia Foundation. I have requested to change (Usurpation) my username from روخو to khaled at https://ar.wikipedia.org and it was done successfully in February 13, 2013 15:51. recently I have noticed that my new user name (khaled) does not work at all Wikimedia foundation projects, such as commons.wikimedia.org, ar.wiktionary.org, ar.wikinews.org... Please notice that I have contribution at the previous mentioned projects and I want them to be under my new name. I have asked some administrators at ar.wikipedia.org and they advised me to make request here. I want to have all my contributions at all Wikimedia projects to be under my new name (Khaled) and want to have one user (unified login) mane to access all the different Wikimedia projects. Thanks for your considerations and waiting for your feedback.

Best Regards,

Khaled Mahmoud --روخو (talk) 11:34, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

I have usurped all "Khaled" accounts without any live edits, so you should be able to edit all projects except de.wiki and fi.wiki with your "Khaled" account. I suggest you wait for SUL finalisation and the deployment of AccountMerge to merge these two. Alternatively, we could merge the accounts the old way (all individually) but that could lead to problems. Savhñ 14:13, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Peka@jawiki and other 3 projects[edit]

Status:    On hold
Time2wait.svg On hold @Pekachu: before we can do anything we require for you to make this account a global account. Please follow the link in your "My Preferences" to achieve this, and let us kn when that is done. We also require those accounts that are yours under the username "Peka" each are edited on their user or user talk pages by you so that we know that they are your accounts.

@Akela3, Akela: You have logged this request with a username that is different from the target account. If you are the holder of the SUL account Akela, then please login with that account to confirm this edit. If you are not the global holder of that account, then we cannot progress.  — billinghurst sDrewth 00:53, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
However he used Akela3 account for this request here, he used the SUL account to confirm this request on huwiki. Samat (talk) 13:45, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
Thanks Samat. Moved ruWP Akela3 -> Akela, please unite it with account. We will need to go through the discussion process with itWP/Commons/noWP, and we should as they need to move ahead of full globalisation.  — billinghurst sDrewth 13:58, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Pietro.ziveri@global[edit]

Status:    On hold

Also @billinghurst Hello, I do not agree with the solution you provided. I don't want to link Pietro.ziveri to any random string but, as my original intention was: to MERGE P.ziveri and Pietro.ziveri accounts in one account: P.ziveri and, after merging, delete or cancel the information by Pietro.ziveri. I don't know why you renamed ONLY the itWP and itWS accounts and have left the enWP and meta accounts at the user name Pietro.ziveri which I want completely ERASED and MERGED into P.ziveri for the Privacy reasons mentioned in my first request. Special:PermanentLink/11066362#P.ziveri.40global I prefer to WAIT (as you suggested) until mergers are available later this year (when btw?). Thank You for your help.

Time2wait.svg awaiting global merge It was the solution suggested by a global renamer, to which no response was made. If you really want those 20+ edits then you will need to wait until global merge is available.  — billinghurst sDrewth 15:18, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

Aharon@global[edit]

Status:    On hold

--24.165.97.140 13:02, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Since you have contributed with both accounts on en.wiki, we'll need to wait for AccountMerge. To allow us to merge your accounts once AccountMerge is deployed, please access en:Special:MergeAccount while logged into your Aharon account to create a global account. Otherwise, we will not be able to perform the merge. Savhñ 20:18, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
I've completed the form on en:Special:MergeAccount to create a global account. There appear to be a number of other accounts named 'Aharon' on other wikimedia sites. These are not mine. (Only the 'Aharon' account on en.wikipedia.org is mine.) Thank you Savh. 24.165.97.140 17:14, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
Great. As soon as AccountMerge is available, the merge of these two global accounts will be completed. This is expected to be before april. (Confirmation diff) Savhñ 17:31, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Status:    In progress

--Macabre (talk) 21:41, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Those with zero or one edit have been resolved. For the ukWP account with 12 edits we should attempt a discussion about a rename.  — billinghurst sDrewth 13:26, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
What should I do? Start a discussion on that user's page with request for usurpation/rename, and than wait for some time? Account on huwiki is still unattached. Tell me please, can somebody now create account in any local wiki with my name, and so create again a problem for completing SUL-account? Macabre (talk) 15:06, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
You have the SUL, so no one but you can now create accounts with the username. For the SUL account existing the discussion is that there account needs to be moved, and they need to be asked to which username they would like the account moved. Re huwiki, if it is your should be visited, and merged through Preferences.  — billinghurst sDrewth 12:00, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

You have two "old usernames"? Ruslik (talk) 20:08, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
Yes, originally I was Bob l'éponge (can't spell it correctly with my phone), then I changed to ÖPNV-Bob l'éponge to emphasize that I'm interested in railway stuff (ÖPNV is German for public transport), but because I'm so stupid I didn't noticed when I logged in with the old name, leading to the 'reactivation' of that account. Later, I chose to rename me to U-Bahnfreund (metro friend), but again I sometimes forgot the rename, meaning ÖPNV-Bob l'éponge was also 'reactivated'. Lastly, in November, I think, I kinda didn't like that name anymore so I settled on Metrophil44. Fortunatly I already discovered my faults so I didn't reactivated that account too, so I just have to let the other two be merged with my real account. -- Metrophil44 (talk) 21:28, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Perfectly all the rest of BaseSats crosswiki should be merged as well - they are mine. BaseSat acc now has SUL deleted on purpose: otherwise it would be impossible to be logged in to Base@global and BaseSat@commons in one browser at the same time - so please unless you're gonna fulfil my request to the end don't merge the BaseSats into BaseSat@global. --Base (talk) 19:07, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

  • Reason: Don't want to have my user name and official last name the same. --Ochilov (talk) 11:31, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
@Ochilov: Sorry, the account Delta already exists on many wikis. Please, choose a different name. Ruslik (talk) 17:06, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Tystnaden@global (Usurp. request)[edit]

Status:    Done

I have the SUL account Tystnaden, and there are only two project accounts for which I do not have access. Neither of them appear to have active content and were last used many years ago. Can they be renamed so that my SUL account is unique? --Tystnaden (talk) 17:34, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

@Tystnaden: Hi. In principle I see no problem usurping those usernames. I'll notify both accounts and wait a week before usurpation happens as per standard practice. Best regards. -- M\A 18:15, 1 March 2015 (UTC) For reference. Notices left at itwiki and svwiki

Thank you --Tystnaden (talk) 23:40, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

@Tystnaden: Yes check.svg Done. Your account is now fully unified w/o unnatached accounts. -- M\A 10:48, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Skiwi (Usurp request)[edit]

Status:    Not done

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Changing_username/Usurpations. Usurpation requested by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Skiwi -- Skiwi (talk) 07:10, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

@Skiwi: Would you mind globalising your account first via the merge function in Special:Preferences as this will then give us a complete picture.  — billinghurst sDrewth 10:38, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
cs:User:Skiwi has +300 edits. I feel unease about performing this usurpation, since the enwiki account has 139 edits. -- M\A 10:37, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
Since the cs.wiki account has far more edits, he has priority over the SUL account with that name. Your account(s) will be renamed as part of SUL finalisation. I suggest you request to rename all your accounts to a free nick, by filing a new request on this page. Should you own various of these unattached accounts, please provide confirmation diffs confirming you own them. Savhñ 13:14, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

jndata@global[edit]

Status:    In progress
  • Stewards/Global renamers: rename user
  • Reason: My old username is the name of a company. I´ve only just realised that this is not allowed. Jndata (talk) 07:34, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
@Jndata: this is too close to an existing username, please reselect your target username. Thanks.  — billinghurst sDrewth 11:51, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Status:    In progress
  • Stewards/Global renamers: rename user
  • Reason: (my account has been attributed to a company and locked but I am a private person and I have not VAT for years now)

--Webofquality (talk) 11:37, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

I am not certain that any username starting with Seo... would be advisable. Any edit will be heavily reviewed and would be tempting such a review.  — billinghurst sDrewth 11:48, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
