Wikitech:Rename requests

The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.

Users can request a username change to match their SUL username. They must prove they are the same person by confirming the rename on wiki in both places: wikitech and one of SUL wikis.

Renames are done by bureaucrats using Special:RenameUser. Actions are logged at Special:Log/renameuser.

Requests

=== Example ===
{{user2|Foo}} -> {{user2|Bar}} [link to confirmation edit on a SUL wiki] ~~~~

Jgiannelos (talk · contribs · CA) -> JGiannelos (WMF) (talk · contribs · CA) Confirmation edit on Meta Jgiannelos (talk) 09:28, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done @JGiannelos (WMF), your legacy Jgiannelos has been renamed. I also needed to rename User:JGiannelos (WMF) (usurped) to move it out of the way of unifying your account names. Please login with the old password but new username (if it doesn't work, use Special:PasswordReset to reset it) and then once logged in, use Special:MergeAccount to unify with the rest SUL accounts. -- BryanDavis (talk) 17:45, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if this is an account merge or rename. But both are the same users and would like to transfer my edits from the former to the later.

Conformation meta:Special:Diff/27572366. Thank you!

Samtar

Samtar (talk · contribs · CA) -> TheresNoTime (talk · contribs · CA)

Confirmation, but am now realising that I had created TheresNoTime and got it locked per all this fun, so maybe it's not going to be worth risking it (: any thoughts? Samtar (talk) 10:09, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Samtar That's easy, we can rename TheresNoTime to "TheresNoTime (usurped)" and then rename this account to that. Would that be fine? Ladsgroup (talk) 10:56, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ladsgroup: oh yeah! That'd be perfect, thank you :-) Samtar (talk) 11:31, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Samtar: Wouldn't it make sense to rename/link the account to one of your SUL alt accounts and then unblock to avoid having another SUL account? --Nintendofan885 (talk) 18:22, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Don't want to make things even more complex — I'll just let Ladsgroup do as suggested. Thanks for the suggestion though :-) -- Samtar (talk) 13:05, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done @TheresNoTime Done now. Ladsgroup (talk) 18:14, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Zoranzoki21

Zoranzoki21 (talk · contribs · CA) -> Kizule (usurped) (talk · contribs · CA) Per phab:T260647. I have Kizule (usurped) already available on Wikimedia's wikis, so SUL won't be an issue. Kizule (talk) 22:54, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done Ladsgroup (talk) 16:21, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like that I made a mistake. Kizule (usurped) is actually someone else's account (in the past when my username was Zoranzoki21 and I wanted to rename account to Kizule to reflect my real-life nickname, Kizule was unavailable, therefore stewards moved it so they can "make a place".

Can you rename Kizule (usurped) to Kizule (test) which is trully mine, and I can confirm that it's mine for real, therefore finish the process of merging via Special:MergeAccount? Kizule (talk) 17:40, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually.. I'm placing this on a hold, I want to rename Kizule (test) on WMF's wikis, therefore this has to wait. Kizule (talk) 17:41, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I made a request to get Kizule (test) renamed to Kizule2. Can you rename Kizule (usurped) to Kizule2? Once it's renamed on other SUL wikis as well, I'll use Special:MergeAccount and complete my part of the process. Kizule (talk) 17:46, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually... Sorry for confusion. Kizule2 is actually unavailable, and it's a bug that it allowed me to ask for Kizule 2 when Kizule2 exists.

Okay, let's just rename Kizule (usurped) to Kizule (test) and finish this for once. Kizule (talk) 18:27, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done Ladsgroup (talk) 10:10, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much, my part is done as well! :) Kizule (talk) 13:59, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Al Riaz Uddin Ripon Hi, your SUL verification doesn't mention your old username, is there concern about it?

Cstone (talk · contribs · CA) -> CStone_WMF (talk · contribs · CA) confirmation

Done User:CStone_WMF You are renamed here, please login with the old password but new username (if it doesn't work, use Special:PasswordReset to reset it) and then once logged in, use Special:MergeAccount to unify with the rest SUL accounts. Ladsgroup (talk) 10:06, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

According to the note at the top of this page, the new username is supposed to match the user's SUL username. There is no global account for the requested new username. The confirmation edit was instead made using m:User:CStone (WMF). Does the requester intend to use the existing SUL username (from the confirmation edit), or to instead keep the accounts separate (and renaming merely to resolve a username conflict with someone else's account)? PleaseStand (talk) 07:29, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@PleaseStand You are correct. @CStone_WMF I need to rename your account to User:CStone_(WMF). Ladsgroup (talk) 09:16, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
