Revision as of 07:20, 9 April 2010
Before filing a request please consider the following:
- If the change is small, such as adding or removing numbers or changing vowels, it is normally better to change your signature to alter your appearance.
- It is quicker and easier to simply create a new account and link to your old contributions. Dead accounts are harmless.
- Signatures and other hardcoded text will not be changed, you will have to manually edit to get rid of them.
- Single Unified Login: To usurp an existing account:
- Please add {{subst:#invoke:template link|show}} or similar to their talk page. If that account has email enabled, please email them and explain the situation. Wait for a week after giving notification for any objections, then post the result here.
- Please post a link to a diff in a project where you are active. The diff should be an edit made from your account to a talk page or similar acknowledging that yes, it's you making this request. See this example.
- You are asking for a favour, please be polite and remain patient. In particular, do not pester bureaucrats.
Instructions
Once you've decided that a change is the best way forward:
- Check Special:Listusers to see whether your desired name is not already taken. While it is possible to hijack existing user accounts without their permission, this is undesirable and will require a special reason.
- Click add your request and explain clearly why you want to make the change, you must sign your request from your old account.
- Wait patiently for one of our bureaucrats to deal with your request.
Once fulfilled
Your old account will not exist anymore. All edits and other user data (including preferences and watchlist) from your old account will be reattributed to your new account. You can log in with your old password. A log of these changes is kept at Special:Log/renameuser and the requests are archived here.
- You should move your old User: and User_talk: pages to your new user name; don't just copy the content.
- If you wish you can recreate your old account and request that an administrator block it to prevent other users from impersonating you.

Confirmation link : en:User talk:Evangeline#SUL
Hello! I am Evangeline on the English Wikipedia and trying to unify accounts in SUL. Likewise, I am pretty sure I was the one who registered User:Evangeline a while ago, but I have forgotten which email I used and no longer have the password. Thanks! Evangeline.en 07:17, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
SUL Request → User:Chezhiyan
Hi,
I would like to usurp the account for SUL. I have notified the talkpage a few weeks back, no reply yet. The account has nil edits. The SUL collision detector revealed this. My diff on en.wikipedia.org. Thanks in advance for your help. - chezhiyan -- 121.44.144.149 09:50, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
- OK. Go for it. SemperBlotto 10:02, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
SUL Request → User:Radical
Hi. I would like to usurp the account Radical for SUL. The account was created on 07 July 2008, has no user page and the only contribution is a question on someone's user talk page. Confirmation for this request on my home wiki is here: [1]. Thanks in advance. RadicalSUL 20:37, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
Time to have it changed. Thanks. --LUUSAP 21:01, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
- Why? SemperBlotto 22:12, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
- (I'll spill the beans after it's done.) --LUUSAP 00:47, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
- But we're under no obligation to change it, it's a service we provide. Mglovesfun (talk) 00:54, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
- Okay, fine. I like HGW motorcycles. --LUUSAP 01:01, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
- Request denied. SemperBlotto 08:21, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

I have changed my username on Wikipedia to Osarius and I would like to reflect that change on all Wikimedia projects.
- User:Osarius already exists. SemperBlotto 09:43, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
Changed name at home wiki; hoping to reunify login.--76.15.31.123 12:19, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
- The fact that I made the request logged out kinda proves how much I want this!--Otherlleft 12:21, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
For unified login - intended username was informed of my intentions a week ago. Garden 20:06, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
Hello. I don't feel comfortable showing my real name on the slang pages I've edited/might edit in the future. Thanks in advance.
Usurpation in order to finalize the SUL transition. [2], [3]. --Kn tmp 17:10, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
- Done. (I assume "Kn temp" should have been "Nk temp" but never mind) SemperBlotto 17:17, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
I'd make a new account, but it says it's too similar to -Zeus- (my account). I'm trying to go SUL with enwiki. -Zeus- 05:14, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
I'd like to change my username to match my enwiki name in preparation for SUL. Thanks, NereusRen 01:57, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
Old username: User:Lewis1350 New username: User:VerballyInsane Reason: SLU Unification. And it's cooler. :) Brian K Lewis 04:56, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
Reason: Changing username on all Wikimedia projects. Parkstad 16:30, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
