Steward requests/Username changes

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
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.

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 and consensus, accounts with valid edits are not usurped, and the target account must be notified by renamer at least two weeks before usurpation.

Ravages

Status:    Done
By the way, the name "Justinianus" is based on French Wikipedia and it's first and also last edit was made twelve years ago. --ravages 13:57, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
{{onhold}} until 8 April. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 05:40, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Waiting progress is ended, but there's no change for now. Just wanted to remind, thanks. --ravages 09:49, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Note: @1997kB: What did you not place the "Usurpation requested" template on the user's discussion page for?--Turkmen talk 12:38, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Well.. mistakenly I placed it on their userpage instead of talk page. Corrected that now. So now should we wait for another month? ‐‐1997kB (talk) 13:33, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@1997kB: I think yes.--Turkmen talk 14:27, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@1997kB: and @Turkmen:; I've been already waiting for a month for this change and I don't want to wait more because of something that I've got nothing to do for. And it's clear that the user is not active since lots of years. Is there any other way to do this? Thank you. --ravages 19:26, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Ravages: Apologies as it was my mistake. We are saying to wait more because user page edits do not send notification. As I have left them a message at talk page now, they are officially notified. Please give it atleast a week more. Thanks! ‐‐1997kB (talk) 01:26, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much for your relevance, @1997kB:. I would be very happy if it's possible to wait just a week more. Which date suits for that time period? Shall we determine it on that page? I can notify you again when it ends. Best regards. --ravages 06:58, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 On hold until 17 April. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 08:36, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 1997kB, just out of curiosity, why have you kept my request on hold for a month? Antila333 (talk) 09:34, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Antila333, To give a chance to the current account owner, in case they are around and want to keep the username. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 09:46, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

狂々亭駄楽

Status:    In progress

Wikimedia以外にて「Daraku K.」の名前を使用する機会があり、それに統一するため、および、jawp以外での活動において全角文字を使用した利用者名は相応しくないと思われるため、利用者名の変更をお願いします。

In addition, "Daraku K." is already used as a signature in jawaki, and it is the account that I myself acquired as a spoofing countermeasure account in December 2018.

なお、「Daraku K.」は既にjawakiにおける署名として使用しており、2018年12月に成りすまし対策アカウントとして私自身が取得したアカウントであります。

--狂々亭駄楽 (talk) 19:34, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your consideration.--Daraku K. (talk) 20:32, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
