Instructions

SUL finalization

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 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

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

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

Account renames are not private, once renamed many links from the old username to the new username will be permanently made. The reason submitted on the rename form (Special:GlobalRenameRequest) is private, and only visible by the renamers. Additional information that needs to be made in private may be sent using this direct wiki-email interface while logged-in.

Global requests

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 the section. Sections should be titled your username@global if you wish to be globally renamed.

JialeAven9erEX@global

Status:    Done


Requests with usurps and complex renames

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

Galadrien@global

Status:    On hold
On hold until the tool to merge SULs becomes available. Ajraddatz (talk) 17:55, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I propose to decline this and process it when SUL merge is enabled. (Looks like it is not going to happen soon.) — Revi 12:36, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]


Pelikana@en.wikipedia (Usurp. request)

Status:    On hold

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

Uitgevoerd. Heb je een account op en.wiki die eventueel bij je globaal account toegevoegd moet worden? Savhñ 13:34, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, user:Pepelikana on en.wp could be merged please, ty Pelikana (talk) 13:44, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]

Xavax@global

Status:    On hold

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

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)[reply]

khaled@global

Status:    On hold
Warning: A username cannot begin with a lower-case letter: khaled → Khaled
  • Confirmation difflink: [4]
  • Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
  • Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, 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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Xabier@global (Usurp, SUL)

Status:    On hold
  • Xabier@cawiki - 0 edits
  • Xabier@enwiki - 0 edits
  • Xabier@eswiki - 0 edits
  • Xabier@frwiki - 0 edits
  • Xabier@itwiki - 0 edits
  • Xabier@mediawikiwiki - 0 edits
  • Xabier@simplewiki - 0 edits
  • Xabier@commonswiki - 4 edits (1 live, 3 deleted. Inactive since 2006). And rename Viejo sabio (Confirmations: Xabier) and Viejo sabio@commons)

Thanks in advance. Xabier (talk) 18:10, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have usurped all accounts with 0 edits. Usurping accounts with edits requires a previous notification. I have informed both Xabier@euwiki and Xabier@commons. The latter, with only 1 live edit, should be usurpable in a month. For the Xabier@euwiki account, please wait until SUL finalisation (unless the user replies). Savhñ 10:33, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Note: Xabier@euwiki already done by Savh. Alan (talk) 23:19, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 On hold until 8 February

Roberth@de.wikipedia

Status:    In progress

--RobertHeinze (talk) 14:42, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Which local accounts at Roberth do belong to you? Ruslik (talk) 20:10, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
(Please provide confirmation diffs to confirm these accounts are yours) Savhñ 21:49, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@RobertHeinze: actions are required from you.  — billinghurst sDrewth 11:36, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

RussaviaBot@global

Status:    On hold
If you just want to take-over his bot's task, I think you can just file local bot approval request to take over. I don't think RussaviaBot run by someone else makes sense. — Revi 10:59, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
With the number of edits, it is probably preferable that the scripts and tasks are taken. We will need to check with the accounts people about the task of moving.  — billinghurst sDrewth 11:03, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Revi: Please consider this a migration. Russavia was in dialogue with a number of off-wiki forums about future donations to Commons, this bot was a part of that task. No doubt other bots, such as Faebot may be able to take over some of the tasks, it will be my judgement call alone as to which ought to best be closed out by RussaviaBot. Closing everything down overnight smacks a bit too uncomfortably of damnatio memoriae, which seems inappropriate considering the years of positive content contributions by this user, regardless of other events or disputes. --Fæ (talk) 11:16, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe I am missing something, but the link provided here does not state that the account can be usurped.—Teles «Talk to me ˱C L @ S˲» 16:54, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Comment I think that it would be confusing to have a "RussaviaBot" account operated by Fæ as the user name suggests that the bot is operated by someone other than Fæ. I would suggest that Fæ picks a different user name for his replacement bot. --Stefan2 (talk) 23:57, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    In light of the issue and the circumstance I would think that another bot would be ill-advised to replace RussaviaBot at the same name. As the bot was only active in Commons, I think that Commons can resolve this issue, and the name is not generic for a role, it is aligned with a user. It just gets ugly moving the account aside to put in a new account with the same name as the account will need rights approved etc.  — billinghurst sDrewth 11:32, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Peka@jawiki and other 3 projects

Status:    On hold
 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. On the edits, simply quote [[m:Special:PermanentLink/11066304]]. Thanks.  — billinghurst sDrewth 00:48, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Akela3@ruwiki

Status:    On hold
Russian user:Akela is inactive since 2011, blocked for indefinte time. I would like to USURP THE NAME Russian User:Akela for myself, if ever possible. (Difflink on my Huwiki page: [8]) Best regards --Akela3 (talk) 22:47, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Akela3 and 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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
Thanks! ;) Samat (talk) 14:39, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I logged in to RuWiki. Thanks for Your support. Akela (talk) 17:32, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Tarenor@global

Status:    On hold

--Ralenak (talk) 09:56, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have usurped the account on en.wiki. However, since AccountMerge is not deployed yet, we can't proceed to merge. Placing this request on hold. (Confirmation diff: cs.wiki) Savhñ 14:01, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Laszlo@Global

Status:    On hold

--Laszlo french (talk) 10:19, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Account merging is currently not possible. Ruslik (talk) 20:01, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
...But will be possible soon, so I changed the status to "on hold". Trijnsteltalk 23:15, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks both of you! Why is it not yet possible and when it will be ? 194.98.34.59 09:09, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This feature is under development (until now it was impossible). Development and testing can be maximum few more months, then it will be available. Samat (talk) 14:07, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Pietro.ziveri@global

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.

 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)[reply]

Aharon@global

Status:    On hold

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

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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
Thank you :) Aharon (talk) 16:54, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fisuaq@global

Status:    On hold

Proof about Fisuaq to Erbigon merging --Erbigon (talk) 19:43, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My suggestion would be that you simply stop using the other account, otherwise, if you really want the two edits, then On hold,  awaiting global merge since you want your username to be the account with fewer edits. Pmlineditor (t · c · l) 17:19, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lux2545@th.wikipedia.org

Status:    Done

--mtlux (talk) 11:28, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Target username registered in 4 projects, 2 with contribs. Is yours? Alan (talk) 12:32, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, rename my name for th.wikipedia.org only. --mtlux (talk) 11:13, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

macabre@global (usurp non-SUL)

Status:    In progress
Warning: A username cannot begin with a lower-case letter: macabre → Macabre

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

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)[reply]
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)[reply]

Alex2006@it.wikipedia.org

Status:    Done

--Alessandro57 (talk) 13:07, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done, though you will now need to go and undertake the global merge through the preferences to align this with your SUL.  — billinghurst sDrewth 13:33, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Goemon@it.wikipedia.org (usurp request)

Status:    In progress

--Goemon (talk) 14:52, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I usurped accounts with zero edits. On enwiki and frwiki you should first notify the users about the impending account name change. Ruslik (talk) 16:50, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
