Requests involving merges, usurps or other complications
TheAafi
Status: Done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: TheAafi (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Aafi (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: Can I just have Aafi has my username? The username has edited on dewiki once in 2005 and has not edited so far. I hope the request is considered. Thanks,
- On hold until 30 May --Superpes15 (talk) 12:31, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Superpes15, thanks for the informative edit summary. I take a note. I thought I was too early requesting for a rename, and decided to think for a while more. Is a redirect from Aafi possible to TheAafi? ─ The Aafī on Mobile (talk) 13:52, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- @TheAafi: Sure! You can usurp it without renaming "TheAafi", creating a new account to be renamed to "Aafi" (or we can create "Aafi" for you - as you're not sysop and can't create it even after the usurp), and then you can add a redirect from "Aafi" to "TheAafi"! If, instead, you still want to withdrawn, just write it here, otherwise we can also usurp without changing TheAafi :) --Superpes15 (talk) 14:19, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- Alright @Superpes15. Please consider this request withdrawn. I will send a private request for the redirect. ─ The Aafī on Mobile (talk) 15:23, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- @TheAafi: If you withdraw this, Aafi cannot be usurped and you cannot create a redirect, please read again my message above, in which I explained the procedure (usurp without rename, creating a new account, adding a redirect), and confirm if you want to withdraw this! Superpes15 (talk) 15:32, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Superpes15, I guess I was not able to get the whole of this likely because I have been occupied by a lot of discussions going on at the WikiConference India. I want Aafi to be redirected to TheAafi at a global level. I was just saying that I do not want TheAafi renamed to Aafi (that is what I actually was referring to by the term withdrawn. Please create the account "Aafi" for me and I will make the redirect. I hope this makes some sense now. ─ The Aafī (talk) 18:36, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- No problems! Thanks for the confirmation, so you just have to wait until 30 May, when "Aafi" can be usurped and we'll contact you privately to create the new account (and send you the password) :) Superpes15 (talk) 19:04, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

Mr Eduardo W
Status: Not done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Mr Eduardo W (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Eduardo (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 my name. And there is a global user named Eduardo, but it's long since been inactive.
- @Mr Eduardo W The user made about 50 edits, not all in the same year, so usurps are not possible. Neriah - 💬 - 11:09, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
BenSPVE
Status: Done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: BenSPVE (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: BenSVE (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: This is what I go by on pretty much every platform so I would like to obtain the name for consistency if possible. They do not seem to have any edits and the account is almost 11 years old.
- On hold until June 8, 2023. User notified via talk page. Neriah - 💬 - 16:44, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

FuwaHitsuji
Status: Done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: FuwaHitsuji (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Fuwa (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've recently become a lot more active on the EN wiki and wish to shorten to Fuwa, a username I've used for a long time. The target account appears to be long inactive with zero edits, but I'll withdraw this if they object of course. (Note: I only recently changed from FuwaSheep to FuwaHitsuji (May 2), and renamed from Overtheriver565 back in 2018. I would've chosen Fuwa in my last change had I known global usurping was an option.)

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

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

- Reason: Richiedo il cambio di nome per ragioni di maggiore privacy. L'utenza "Atlante" aveva fatto edit nel 2015 solo su Commons, tutti cancellati.
On hold until 12 June. Target also notified via mail.--Superpes15 (talk) 18:41, 12 May 2023 (UTC)- On hold until further information (request will likely be processed in the next hours by Italian renamers).

Status: Not done

- New Username: pdaxenbichler (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Warning: A username cannot begin with a lower-case letter: pdaxenbichler → Pdaxenbichler
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: My account name is dedicated to a company where I'm not into any more.
- @Pdaxenbichler-fs1 Not done The user edited recently (only 10 months), so usurps cannot be done. Neriah - 💬 - 20:15, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
Illusion Flame
Status: Not done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Illusion Flame (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: 0 (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: User hasn’t been actively editing since 2007 it appears. I would like this one because it’s shorter and easier to type than Illusion Flame.
Not done Per standard procedure, accounts with valid edits are not usurped. Target has too much valid edits. —MdsShakil (talk) 11:37, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
- Okay. How many edits have to be considered valid? What if the account only has 15 edits globally @MdsShakil? Illusion Flame (talk) 12:00, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
- @Illusion Flame It depends on a case-by-case basis. In general, if those 15 edits are minor, then it can be considered. —MdsShakil (talk) 13:59, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
Ubscal
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: User is inactive and has made no edits, I want this name as it is my new username on my socials and I do not wish to have my old name anymore. My old name contains my deadname and I do not wish to use it.
- Not done Sorry but you have only 4 edits @Ubscal:. Usurpation is a tool for users who have significant contributions. You can request a new username, not usurpation. Request declined. Vincent Vega msg? 13:56, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
Helloheart
Status: Done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Helloheart (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Relativity (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:
Gallium's my favorite element on the Periodic Table, and I've gotten a bit bored of my old username since I use it on other platforms. Gallium sounds a bit more professional, too. User hasn't edited since July of 2015, and has only made 34 edits to Commons [1] and 3 to the German Wikipedia (two of which were to their userpage) [2]. Thanks, Helloheart 02:44, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
- Target has uploaded some pictures on Commons, and due to licensing concerns, this account can't be usurped. What do you think? @Superpes15: —MdsShakil (talk) 03:17, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
- @MdsShakil:, @Superpes15:, if I can't have Gallium (though I'd very much like to have it) then I'd also like the username of Phoenix. When I type in User:Phoenix in the search box on the English Wikipedia, I get User:Phӧénix (who hasn't been editing since July 2007 and has only made 16 edits to the en Wikipedia.) Is there any way to get around this if I want the username, and if so, if I can't have the username of Gallium, may I have the username of Phoenix? Thanks, Helloheart 03:42, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
- Target has valid edits. So, usurpation isn’t possible here. User:Phoenix or User:Phӧénix doesn't exist. We can rename you to one of these names if you confirm. —Yahya (talk • contribs.) 14:03, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Yahya:, Yes, I'd like to be renamed to User:Phoenix if that's not any sort of problem. Thank you! Helloheart 15:12, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- The username is too similar to several names, including -PhoeniX- who is an active user (the other users have been inactive for many years...), so I'm not sure that the name can be changed. what do you think? Neriah - 💬 - 20:02, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Neriah:, @Yahya:, if I can't have Phoenix, I'd go for the username User:Relativity. User has only had 9 edits from 2006 on enwiki.
I'd like the username User:Perth. User only has 16 live edits to dewiki, 12 of which are minor. [3]. Hasn't edited since late 2005.Thanks! Helloheart 23:49, 16 May 2023 (UTC)- On hold until 18 June, 2023. User notified via talk page. Neriah - 💬 - 20:03, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
