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.

Warning: A username cannot begin with a lower-case letter: k00005 → K00005

Requests involving merges, usurps or other complications[edit]

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.

I think we should wait for Matanya or maybe consult another steward. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 06:40, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Superpes15,Wait a moment, I found a user named @Pavlov:, is this usurp still eligible? Pavlov2 09:51, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Pavlov2: Sorry, they're not usurpable, they have too many contributions! Regards Superpes15 (talk) 09:56, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes,@Superpes15,maybe this usurp request is also invalid for PAVLOV is similar to Pavlov Pavlov2 10:09, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Pavlov2: Oh, sorry, I misunderstood the question. The difference between Pavlov2 and PAVLOV is small, and imho it's easier to distinguish (from a "visual" point of view) a username written in capital letters than an identical one, with an extra number. Moreover the user hasn't been active for some years and mainly on ruwiki where you aren't active. I would say that between Pavlov2 and PAVLOV there is little difference so, imho, there is no problem! But, in this month of waiting, I will await other opinions :) If, in the meantime, you decide to ask for another nickname just let me know :) Superpes15 (talk) 10:20, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I will wait for the next stage. Pavlov2 11:46, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Status:    In progress

@Jinsei tanoc: Hello, I don't know if you misspelled the username you want to change but I find that the username you want to change doesn't exist globally yet. If you misspelled the name you want to change, please correct it. Or if you still want to keep changing your username, you don't have to do anything, just wait patiently. Thanks!
