This page hosts requests for a username change on a Wikimedia wiki with no bureaucrats. Please read the instructions before posting a request.
Please note: local requests for this wiki go to Meta:Changing username.

Instructions

Before posting here

If there is an active bureaucrat on the local wiki, please ask them to fulfill your request using Special:Renameuser on the relevant wiki. If there is no local community, request on this page with a note to that effect.

Making a request for your own account

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 formless 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. Ensure that you don't request renaming another user. Please make sure before posting your request here that the username that you want to have is still free. You can test that by going to the (new) user page and looking into the sidebar. If there is a link to the user contributions, the account already exists.

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.
