Instructions[edit]

SUL finalization[edit]

If you are requesting a merge of a global account with one or more unconnected local accounts as part of finalizing your single unified login (SUL) username, please specify which wikis and accounts you want to merge into your global account. These accounts were typically be named "account name~wikiname". Please note that we can only merge a local account into a global account when the global account has no edits on the same wiki as the local account.

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.

@1997kB: Hi. Could I withdraw this request and usurp the user "Trinitrotolueno" instead? I decided I don't want to usurp any account with valid live edits. The new target doesn't have any edits, but is registered in cawiki. Sorry for changing my mind, if it's not possible then withdraw all the request entirely.--Santiago142857 (talk) 04:52, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

Wikimedia France[edit]

Status:    Not done
  • Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
  • Old Username: Wikimedia France (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
  • New Username: Wikimedia France (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
  • Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
  • Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
  • Reason: The issue is that the person in charge of communication at Wikimedia France would like to retrieve access to user:Wikimedia France account. This is user:Anthere explaining what has been done to explain the context. Sarah wanted to create a Wikimedia France account on meta for communication purpose. The creation was not possible on her side. She said it was not possible because Wikimedia is a brand and this required an admin to force the creation. It may also be that it was impossible to do because such an account already existed on fr.wikipedia.org ([1]). Sarah contacted me (Anthere) to either 1) rename User:Association Wiki France‎ she had just created into user:Wikimedia France or 2) force the creation of user:Wikimedia France. Since only stewards can rename on meta, I used the force creation tool. Except I had not anticipated that it would not ask me any email of some sort... so the account was created, attached to the account on the French wikipedia. And she can not access that account at all. The account on the French Wikipedia was probably created for "security" to "own" the account. But it has never been used, nor a userpage created. There is an active email, so just in case I sent an email to that account to see if anyone is still behind it... but the account was created nearly 10 years ago, so I am not too optimistic. In short... is it possible for Sarah to get access to the Wikimedia France current account in some way (like bold-changing the current email attached to it - not sure anyone can do that)? or is it possible to rename the current global username under an archived name, and then rename the brand new page she created (User:Association Wiki France‎) into Wikimedia France ? ... the email to use is communication(_AT_)wikimedia.fr. Anyone can help ?


HOLD ON. I got in touch with the owner of the old account. I am asking him if he could hand over...
Ok, that request is moot ! The account is being transfered from old owner to Sarah....

UBX~metawiki[edit]

Status:    In progress

The w:User:UBX account was created to host userboxes migrated via the Userbox Migration.

Similarly, the local User:UBX account was also created, but it has been renamed to User:UBX~metawiki instead of being merged with the global UBX account. (cc: @Liangent, Mets501, Kylu) — ExE Boss (talk) 20:20, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
