Momodesign45
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)

- New Username: MOMODESIGN (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 first name was inserted by mistake; we would like to change the name to "MOMODESIGN" as it represents the company - we also have another username "Momodesign", but I can see that the section merge is currently unavailable. For reference: Ticket#2021061510009056.
- Not done @Momodesign45: Su Wikipedia in lingua italiana non è possibile utilizzare questo nome perché riferito a un'azienda (come già spiegato ampiamente nel ticket). Diversa e più complessa la situazione nel caso in cui lo si voglia utilizzare solo su Commons. In ogni caso il nome scelto è troppo simile a uno già esistente (Momodesign) e quindi non è possibile effettuare questa rinomina! --Superpes15 (talk) 08:33, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: This has been my nickname ever since I was born. I have noticed that username has been taken but the same username has not been active nor has done anything in the past 8 years. If I could, please, have my nickname changed, I would greatly appreciate it. <hidden>
- Comment I can confirm that this request is made by @БојанЦвјетковић:. Because of unknown technical issues, he wasn't logged in automatically by MediaWiki and it is reason why he posted this request as anonymous user. Kizule (talk) 20:20, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
- On hold until 3 June. For privacy reasons it's better to hide the IP. Please, @БојанЦвјетковић:, definitively confirms the request after login. Regards. --Superpes15 (talk) 19:49, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Crepusculum is the username I wish to start using now, as it is what I use elsewhere now, so I request to usurp it. It was created back in 2013 and has zero edits.
- @Universal Omega: If you want you can ask for an usurp on enwiki, where the request will be put on hold for a week. Here we will have to put it on hold for a month. Please tell us how you intend to proceed, regards --Superpes15 (talk) 16:50, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

GhostP.
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: GhostP. (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Veritas (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'd like to change my username because "GhostP." doesn't really have a meaning ("Veritas" means "truth"), it's a name I created years ago and I've never really liked it. Veritas' last edit was made in 2009, so I believe a renaming is possible. Thanks
- @GhostP.: Please login with Veritas and confirm by commenting here. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 14:18, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
- I am not the user Veritas, I thought I could rename "GhostP." to "Veritas" because their account hasn't made an edit in 11 years. GhostP. (talk) 14:24, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
- @GhostP.: Veritas accounts has valid edits thus not eligible for usurpation. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 14:34, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: It looks like this name was granted to a local user already inactive well before unification, and they haven’t logged in to use it globally since. I would humbly suggest the global username should be allocated to someone that will use it for editing and the inactive user can remain attributed as Artemis~nlwiki. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TheEditMate (talk) 01:53, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

- Reason: Greetings! I am a regular contributor & editor of Wikipedia. Recently I notice that my name is in Bengali, but I want my name to be in English. Because English is globally recognised.

Wikimedia France
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Wikimedia France (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Wikimedia France (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 issue is that the person in charge of communication at Wikimedia France would like to retrieve access to user:Wikimedia France account. This is user:Anthere explaining what has been done to explain the context. Sarah wanted to create a Wikimedia France account on meta for communication purpose. The creation was not possible on her side. She said it was not possible because Wikimedia is a brand and this required an admin to force the creation. It may also be that it was impossible to do because such an account already existed on fr.wikipedia.org ([1]). Sarah contacted me (Anthere) to either 1) rename User:Association Wiki France she had just created into user:Wikimedia France or 2) force the creation of user:Wikimedia France. Since only stewards can rename on meta, I used the force creation tool. Except I had not anticipated that it would not ask me any email of some sort... so the account was created, attached to the account on the French wikipedia. And she can not access that account at all. The account on the French Wikipedia was probably created for "security" to "own" the account. But it has never been used, nor a userpage created. There is an active email, so just in case I sent an email to that account to see if anyone is still behind it... but the account was created nearly 10 years ago, so I am not too optimistic. In short... is it possible for Sarah to get access to the Wikimedia France current account in some way (like bold-changing the current email attached to it - not sure anyone can do that)? or is it possible to rename the current global username under an archived name, and then rename the brand new page she created (User:Association Wiki France) into Wikimedia France ? ... the email to use is communicationwikimedia.fr. Anyone can help ?
HOLD ON. I got in touch with the owner of the old account. I am asking him if he could hand over...
Ok, that request is moot ! The account is being transfered from old owner to Sarah....

In English: The user wants to change the username to be anonymous because uses this username on other websites and helps fight vandalism. Therefore doesn't want to be harassed in the future.
