Before posting here

If there is an active bureaucrat on the local wiki (type Special:ListUsers/bureaucrat), please ask them to fulfill your request using Special:RenameUser on the relevant wiki. Sometimes Project:RENAME redirects to the local request page and the Index of pages where renaming can be requested may also be used to help you locate the right page. If there is no local community, request on this page with a note to that effect.

Please list specific projects that you need rename in under your request and DO NOT just request to rename at all projects. Renaming in all wikis with bureaucrats should be handled locally

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,
  • the wiki project on which you ask for the renaming,
  • a link to the local (old) user page, where you put a formal request with your local account

If anything is missing from your request, a steward will request more information. Please don't skip the last point, even if there's no community on the project. 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.

For changing your username on several wikis:

If you want to have changed your username on several wikis at the same time, please put a list of these wikis on one of your user pages and make sure that there is a link back to this page from all of the other user pages. Alternatively you can post a short request separately with all the user accounts to be renamed. Please give here only the link to the user page with your list and replace the "@ project" in the headline by "on several projects" or the like.

Making a request for an account that is not yours

If you want to have an account renamed because it's name is harrassing or insulting, or if it impersonates you or someone else, please include the following information in your request:

  • the account's name, including a translation into English, (if it's harrassing or insulting),
  • the wiki project on which you ask for the renaming,
  • the impersonated account (if the account is impersonating), this can be cross wiki.

If anything is missing from your request, a steward will request more information.


Requests for renaming your own account

Please add new requests at the end of the page. Sections should be titled your username@project name or your username@multiple projects please.

Tomayres@multiple

Status:    Done
You do mean renaming from Tomayres to Mato, right? (Both oldname and newname were Tomayres.) Most of those projects have local crats who can usurp the accounts (you can ask them in English) - but that usually involves emailing the accounts you want to usurp beforehand, especially since some of them have edits. -- Mentifisto 20:43, 28 April 2011 (UTC)reply
Ah yes that's correct, sorry. In the process of messaging the local crats. Would it be possible to leave this application open so I can update it with the projects where I can find no active bureaucrats? Mato 15:23, 30 April 2011 (UTC)reply
So to confirm, all I need now is a usurp (I have no current username on these wikis, I just need the target name for the SUL) on sk.wiktionary and zh.wikiquote due to no local crats. Thanks. Mato 19:25, 30 April 2011 (UTC)reply
sk.wiktionary Done. For zh.wikiquote, please ask one of the local crats. Thanks, Jafeluv 09:34, 1 May 2011 (UTC)reply
As a bureaucrat on Chinese Wikiquote, I just moved existing Mato to Mato (usurped). Tomayres, please try if you can take over the username Mato there.--Jusjih 10:58, 1 May 2011 (UTC)reply
Thank you very much to you both. Looks like I'm all sorted here and will return if I have any issues at the local wikis. Mato 12:05, 1 May 2011 (UTC)reply

Bhawani Gautam Rhk@multiple

Status:    Done
As instructed above, please provide a list of specific projects where you want to be renamed. Jafeluv 10:34, 30 April 2011 (UTC)reply
I want to be renamed in all wikis, i shall request locally where bureaucrats are active but now i request you to rename in following projects-
1. meta.wikis 2. ne.wikis 3 wikimania2010 4 sa.wikis 5. hi.wikis 6. simple.wikis and 7. Commons. Regards- 14:36, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
As you wrote above, for projects with active ´crats you need to request it localy and at least commons and simple have active ´crats. Use Special:ListUsers to find active bureaucrats. I will rename you for meta. --WizardOfOz talk 05:45, 1 May 2011 (UTC)reply
Done For meta. --WizardOfOz talk 05:50, 1 May 2011 (UTC)reply
But sir ne.wiki,ne.wiktionary, ne.wikibooks,sa.wiki,sa.wiktionary, sa.wikibooks don't have bureaucrat, please rename there also. Regards-Bhawani 11:39, 2 May 2011 (UTC)reply
Done. Jafeluv 11:50, 2 May 2011 (UTC)reply

Elijohncaluya@xxproject

Status:    Not done
Please make a list of projects where you need renaming as instructed above. Note that you have edits on only two projects, Meta and enwp, both of the having local bureaucrats. The place to request a rename in enwiki is this and for Meta-Wiki, it would be this. Pmlineditor (t · c · l) 08:40, 2 May 2011 (UTC)reply

Anndelion@multiple

Status:    Done

If I'm mistaken on any of these having no active/local crats, I sincerely apologize. On some I currently have an "Anndelion" account but on others I do not. Each account I wish to usurp has 0 edits and was registered more than six months ago.

Also, somewhat tangentially, I accidentally merged two accounts with zero contribs that hadn't been active in a long time (join dates "unknown") -- de.wiktionary and ro.wiki. Perhaps these should be marked as "merged by stewards" to get an accurate join date. I really had no nefarious motives, even though it looks that way. I apologize! :(. Anndelion 10:13, 2 May 2011 (UTC)reply

Done. I've marked the wikis which have local bureaucrats above. You'll need to ask for usurpation locally in those projects. This index may be helpful in locating local request pages. Jafeluv 11:42, 2 May 2011 (UTC)reply

Öncel Acar@multiple

Status:    Not done
As instructed above, please provide a list of specific projects where you want to be renamed. Also, please note that you only have edits on the English and Turkish Wikipedias, both of which have local bureaucrats. The place to ask for renaming on en.wikipedia is here, and on tr.wikipedia it's here. Jafeluv 21:21, 5 May 2011 (UTC)reply
Not done as I see no confirmation.--Jusjih 18:44, 7 May 2011 (UTC)reply

Jamousa@enwimousaki

Status:    Not done
The English Wikipedia has local bureaucrats, so you'll have to make a local request here. Jafeluv 07:24, 11 May 2011 (UTC)reply

Shirou15@tlwikipedia

Status:    Not done
local 'crat exists, and he just asked you to read policy on meta, not to request a steward. Local 'crat should do the rename. best Matanya 06:37, 13 May 2011 (UTC)reply
Matanya, I redirected Shirou15 here to request for renames for all his other accounts. The account is a SUL'ed account and I don't want multiple usernames popping up because of it because two different names exist between all projects. I can rename him on the Tagalog Wikipedia, but I can only leave it to you guys to rename him everywhere else. --Sky Harbor (talk) 11:18, 13 May 2011 (UTC)reply

Farewell@multiple

Status:    Done

Thank you. farewell…u.t.c 03:24, 18 May 2011 (UTC)reply

Done. Jafeluv 06:59, 18 May 2011 (UTC)reply

Not done. Sorry, we can't do this since the Chinese Wikipedia has local bureaucrats. However, you can make a request in English here. Jafeluv 21:49, 6 June 2011 (UTC)reply

Requests for renaming an account of another person

Please add new requests on top (below this message). Sections should be titled your username@project name or your username@multiple projects and make sure you specify the exact account you want to be renamed in the text. For renaming other users' accounts there should be valid reasons, as are for instance insulting, intimidating or impersonating names.
