|reason = Although my username is B222, I have signed my talk as ''Bertux'' [[:nl:special:diff/10609861|at least since christmas 2007]]; consequently, at August 7, 2008 [[:nl:Special:Log/Bertux|I created a sock account ''Bertux'']], mainly to prevent other users from doing so. This account has made [[Special:CentralAuth/Bertux|only two contributions worldwide]], none of which is copyrightable: they redirect the user and talk pages to B222 and have presumably been submitted from the B222 IP. Alas I have no valid password nor a recovery option. I have been informed that usurpation is still possible, with ''Bertux'' being renamed to ''Bertux~oud'' (Dutch) or ''Bertux~old'' (English). I don't care, being fine with the English version if you have to choose. Afterwards B222 can be renamed to ''Bertux''. I am aware that the procedure may involve some on hold periods of a month each. I am fine with that or with any other procedure, but a ping when I need to take some action is welcome. [[User:B222|B222]] ([[User talk:B222|talk]]) 18:57, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

Shortcut:
SRUC

This page hosts requests to stewards and global renamers for a username change across the entire Wikimedia network. Please read the instructions before posting a request.

This is also the page where the usurpation of inactive accounts can be requested.

Cross-wiki requests
Meta-Wiki requests


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.


Simple rename requests

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

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 by renamer at least one month before usurpation.

Status:    On hold

--RoarinqLion (talk) 17:59, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@RoarinqLion: RoaringLion exists globally and you need to wait for 1 month in order to usurp that account. Also unfortunately a record is kept always and we can not stop that, so if are you ok with both of these issues we can proceed to rename, please reply with choice. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 04:51, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
