Requests involving merges, usurps or other complications
Sugi moyo
Status: Not done
- Wiki: ko.wikipedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Sugi moyo (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: 쬁 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I would like to use this username only at Kowiki.
- @Sugi moyo: We cannot rename the account at only one wiki, as the renaming process is global, and as the local bureaucrats are no longer able to change usernames locally. EPIC (talk) 13:03, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
- uh oh. Sugi moyo (talk) 13:04, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
Not done per above. —MdsShakil (talk) 16:53, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
EstrellaSuecia
Status: Done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: EstrellaSuecia (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Estrellato (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Being constantly hunted by LTAs, constantly making puns about the latter part of my name I would like a fresh start. Estrellato is also more correct Spanish and the account Estrellato only exists on eswiki and has not been used in 13 years from what I can see. EstrellaSuecia (talk) 19:51, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Ternarius: For your knowledge. EstrellaSuecia (talk) 04:41, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
On hold until 1 January 2024 --Superpes15 (talk) 00:55, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
- I noticed that "Estrellato" had six edits on eswiki, however, these were not live edits and therefore could not be checked by me. So, considering this, and that the account has not been used any further, I have made the usurp. Thus,

- For the record, that user was actually just a vandalism-only account that probably should have been blocked on sight in its time. Sgd. —Hasley 01:18, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the info! Considering that, the usurp was of course reasonable in this case. EPIC (talk) 01:28, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Bison X
Status: Done

- Old Username: Bison X (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: BX (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Succinct form of current username. "BX" user on meta has 2 edits 18 years ago.
On hold until 04 January 2024. —Yahya (talk • contribs.) 14:53, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
- The current BX appears to be an alternate account of Box-mn, who had 144 edits on plwiki. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe|she) 08:15, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
- @Tamzin: Will this affect the re-name or will it still go through on 04 Jan? Rgrds. --Bison X (talk) 01:51, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
- I don't think it should affect - neither of the accounts have edited for over 18 years, and as it is an alt account and not a main account, this user can still use their main account if they were to come back in the future. If the user doesn't reply I don't see a need for a prevention of the rename. EPIC (talk) 17:28, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I want the last instance/hint towards my real identity removed.
Cure has made some contributions to lt wiki during 2014 and has not edited since then. I'd appreciate if this rename is approved.(Altruistic doesn't happen to have made any edits). Best regards, --─ The Aafī (talk) 19:04, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hmmm, unsure if this one can be usurped, as target user has quite a lot of edits, some of them being large edits in the mainspace. EPIC (talk) 19:08, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- I'm in favor of not doing it. 53 edits are huge. —Yahya (talk • contribs.) 19:21, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- @EPIC and @Yahya: Thank you both of you. I was myself unsure and decided to seek a response here. I am changing the desired username to "Altruistic", likewise an old username with just "zero edits". Do you want me to file a new request right below this? ─ The Aafī (talk) 20:14, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- I changed the username in the template to the new desired one. Thus,
On hold until 2 February. EPIC (talk) 20:21, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- @EPIC, thank you, you are too kind! ─ The Aafī (talk) 20:24, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- @EPIC: Sorry for the trouble. I am withdrawing this rename request. Perhaps, I will revisit if I feel an explicit need in the future. I have been too early to make a request ─ The Aafī (talk) 11:40, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
- OK, I've marked as withdrawn. EPIC (talk) 11:46, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
- And I also saw that I had somehow apparently forgotten to notify the user either way. EPIC (talk) 11:49, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

O Combatente Dourado
Status: Not done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: O Combatente Dourado (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Alfacevoador (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: i don't like this name
--O Combatente Dourado (talk) 00:39, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- According to the global rename policy, the requester must not be seeking the rename to conceal or obfuscate bad conduct. You are a sockpuppet (or undeclared "alternative account") of Fitadurex2972, who is indefinitely blocked from the Portuguese Wikipedia as a result of a unanimous decision in a block discussion for reasons including vandalism. Furthermore, here you admit to own the account StrawberryBot, which was recently vandalizing this Meta-Wiki. Sorry, but you cannot misuse a clean start by requesting renames and creating socks to look like another user, effectively circumventing active blocks. — Elton (talk) 03:13, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
連柏洋
Status: Not done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: 連柏洋 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: A train (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: My old username was too complicated and inconvenient.
- User:A train haven’t valid edits ,I can usurped it.-- 連柏洋 (talk) 05:57, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- If I rename, can I keep my previous contributions? Because this user already exists. 連柏洋 (talk) 06:03, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, you can. —MdsShakil (talk) 06:07, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

Not done In order to ensure that usurped usernames be put to good use, we prefer only to grant requests from reasonably well-established users. Please feel free to re-file this request in the future after your account has been established. —MdsShakil (talk) 06:09, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- Do you You mean I should wait a period of time ? 連柏洋 (talk) 06:14, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

- New Username: XsBVNst9srmnYKUduQJT#BEvBWPXg@CpNWDHhY5C (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I can't delete my account, so I made the new name impossible to associate with me.
- @JuanGonzález595: It seems like you are just requesting a vanish, and not a usurpation. If so, please use the format "Vanished user nnnnnnnnnnn" or "Renamed user nnnnnnnnnnnnn" EPIC (talk) 08:06, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
Not done @JuanGonzález595: Please place a new request under the section "Simple rename requests", with the above mentioned username format. EPIC (talk) 21:19, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
1AmNobody24
Status: Not done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I'm already using this name as my signature. The 1Am and 24 parts aren't necessary.
Not done @1AmNobody24: Sorry, but per standard practice, accounts with valid edits are not usurped. Target user has over 60 edits on cswiki, with large contributions in the article namespace. EPIC (talk) 21:15, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
Lyshaka1
Status: Not done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I would like to get this username that I use on every platform, that was taken 14 years ago by someone that has no contributions : (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Lyshaka). Thanks you !
Not done @Lyshaka1: Your account is newly created, and we generally do not grant usurpation requests to newer users. EPIC (talk) 21:11, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
Guessitsavis
Status: Not done

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: This is, well, my name, and I think it would be awesome to have. The current user last contributed roughly 16 years ago to the Bulgarian Wikipedia.
Not done Per standard procedure, accounts with valid edits are not usurped. Target account has much valid edits. —MdsShakil (talk) 06:51, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
Akaibu1
Status: Done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)

- New Username: Akaibu (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: My second upsurp attempt for this name, which is of an account that has no edits, on a single wiki, and has been the case for years. Last time was denied more or less because I didn't have enough edits, which I believe I have now.

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I'd like to change my username from my real life name for privacy reasons, I couldn't find evidence that the username requested has any edits/log actions. I go by this name on other platforms which can be provided if requested. I'm aware that the old name will still be visible in logs/signatures, etc. Thank you :)
On hold until 18 January 2024, also notified via email. —MdsShakil (talk) 18:09, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req

- Reason: Hello, I used to use the name kaylorensen in some apps and I don't use it anymore and I like to be addressed by my name. Have a nice day.
On hold until 18 January 2024, also notified via email. —MdsShakil (talk) 18:20, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

- For the record, the user didn't respond via email either. @DreamRimmer Don't process any usurpation request without consulting the renamer who mentioned the email was sent. You have no way of knowing what happened to the email. —MdsShakil (talk) 03:13, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- I thought the email notification text was the same as the talk page message, suggesting to respond on the talk page. That's why, when I saw there was no response on the talk page, I proceeded to rename. Noted for the future. Thanksǃ – DreamRimmer (talk) 03:30, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

多多123
Status: Not done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: 多多123 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: A.B. (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: The reason for the change is: 多多123 is an old username, and I'd like to incorporate more of myself instead of a digital persona, so I'd like to rename myself to my initials like many others have done: A.B., as AB was already taken, I think this is also better as it's easier to type because it uses Latin characters instead of Chinese. The reason for the request being here is that: There is already a user called A.B. on French Quotes wiki, it was made in 2009 and has only 4 edits from 2015 according to what I saw, while I have about 3.5 thousand edits and am currently an active Wikimedian, I'm an Extended Confirmed user on En Wiki too.
Thank you, I'd also like to add that all of their past edits were reverted. --多多123 (talk) 17:50, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
On hold until 12 February 2024. EPIC (talk) 21:17, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
- @EPIC: This shouldn't be usurped as a user with a very similar username, User:A. B., is already in use. They're an active editor and former admin on the English Wikipedia with over 50,000 edits. – DreamRimmer (talk) 13:21, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
- Oh, okay, I'm not really into enwiki that much and don't keep track of every user there. But
Not done then. @多多123: please submit a regular renaming request or choose a different username to usurp. EPIC (talk) 13:23, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you. I was also an admin here. I made edits across more than Wikimedia projects deleting blacklisted links spammed cross-wiki as part of my work as an admin here. —A. B. (talk • contribs • global count) 15:29, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
- @EPIC: How about adding 123 onto it? It's easily distinguishable, and easier to associate with me as I already have a 123 in my username. This is my first request, so I'm not sure if I'm supposed to edit or just make a new request. 多多123 (talk) 15:58, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
- @多多123: That should be fine. Do you mean something like "A.B.123"? EPIC (talk) 16:00, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
- @EPIC: Yes, that seems good, I couldn't reply as I had been blocked again... 多多123 (talk) 11:32, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
- Not a problem. Just checked though, and "A.B.123" is similar to the existing usernames "AB123", "Ab123" and "Abi 23".
- Now, I did some further looking, and the only edit from "AB123" was a test edit on enwiki in 2005, while "Abi 23" has no edits, so those shouldn't be a problem.
- But "Ab123" has five edits and logged in during 2020 according to CentralAuth, so that one makes me a bit unsure as the account has been used and it's indicated that it will be likely used in the future too. So, it's a bit of a borderline case, I'm unsure about renaming but I will also let other renamers give their input here. EPIC (talk) 11:51, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
- @多多123: Could you please confirm the specific username you want to usurp so that we can process your request accordingly? – DreamRimmer (talk) 17:20, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- @DreamRimmer: A.B.123 is the one. 多多123 (talk) 14:41, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- I don't see any issue with this username, as there is enough difference between Ab123 and A.B.123. Since the target username is not registered, this is no longer a usurpation request, so I am marking this request as
Not done for future reference. @多多123, please submit a new simple rename request at Steward requests/Username changes#Simple rename requests. Also, I want to note that Ab123 made 5 edits, of which four were reverted, and one edit was the creation of a redirect. – DreamRimmer (talk) 16:26, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

- Although, in general, we only accept usurpation requests from well-established users, the requester of this particular request has 4 edits on Commons and 15 edits on hewiki, of which 3 were reverted. The process of informing the target user was completed, and the request was on hold for 30 days with no concerns raised by anyone. Therefore, I am marking it as
Done. Happy editing! – DreamRimmer (talk) 16:44, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- Neriah had pointed out that this user had a low number of edits. Here I made an exception, looking at the edits they were constructive, the account is over three years old and I decided to give the benefit of the doubt. EPIC (talk) 16:46, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- No problem at all; I thought I should note that. :) – DreamRimmer (talk) 16:50, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

- Reason: I would like to make a simple change to my nickname, but I am unable to do so because there is a "Jardel" registered only on the Polish Wikipedia, but this account is from 2008 and has not made contributions to the project for 13 years.
- @JardelW Why are you blocked on ptwiki? —Yahya (talk • contribs.) 08:34, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
- Giving user one week to reply, otherwise I'm marking as not done. EPIC (talk) 18:13, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
- @Yahya It is a partial blockade, which I consider unfair due to the circumstances in which it was implemented (it involves editorial stalking and other matters). However, it doesn't stop me from editing. Is this an impediment to a username change? .J. tlk 13:30, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
- The global rename policy states that the user should not be seeking the rename to conceal or obfuscate bad conduct. The requested username is visibly linked to the current username, but as the block on ptwiki is indefinite we would at least need to consult with the admins, first of all, before this rename is made. EPIC (talk) 13:43, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
- @EPIC You can consult the local team without any problem. I do not in any way intend to obfuscate any editorial conflicts. .J. tlk 13:50, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
- Pinging blocking admin @Érico. —Yahya (talk • contribs.) 14:07, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
- Considering that the chosen name is very similar to the current one, I see no problems with the renaming. Therefore, I would grant the request, as I do not see an attempt to "conceal or obfuscate bad conduct." Érico (talk) 17:50, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

Good! Thus, I'll put this request On hold until 30 January 2024. EPIC (talk) 17:58, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
Comment I just saw that this user has some contributions on plwiki, but the only larger contribution was adding an infobox to an article, and no edits have been made from the account since 2010. Considering this, and the fact that the account is not connected to SUL, I think it proves that this account will likely not be used in the near future. The user might log in to decline this usurpation request, and if so, this request will be put on not done either way. EPIC (talk) 18:21, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
Done @Jardel Happy editing! – DreamRimmer (talk) 00:50, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
Remagoxer
Status: Done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Remagoxer (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Rexogamer (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: my current username is a pretty major outlier across my accounts and a reversal of my actual username that i prefer people to refer to me by. however, my preferred username is currently in use by an account i no longer have access to (as detailed on my enwiki user page); it has 2 edits from early 2018 which i made before i lost access to it.
On hold until 31 January 2024. —MdsShakil (talk) 16:57, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: (I lost my passport for many days, after I changed password I just wanted to change name also and this will allow me to contribute to Wikipedia and it's sister projects.)
- @Sadik MMD: You posted your request in the section for requesting usurpation of a username, but I assume you are just requesting a regular rename, considering that there is no account with the name "David Bulus"? EPIC (talk) 00:05, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- @EPIC:There's no account with this name. Thank you sir Sadik MMD (talk) 09:00, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Sadik MMD: So I take it as I should rename your account to "David Bulus"? EPIC (talk) 09:03, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- @EPIC, yes sir rename it to "David Bulus". Sadik MMD (talk) 09:32, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the confirmation! @Sadik MMD: I have renamed you, but it seems like the renaming process has been stuck. I apologize for the technical difficulties, and will open a Phabricator task about this as it seems like all recent renames have gotten stuck. EPIC (talk) 09:40, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
Done it's been really slow today, but it seems to have fully gone through. EPIC (talk) 12:15, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
