Example request:

Oldname -> Newname
I'd like to change my username to "Newname" because that's the username I use on other projects. Thanks! - ~

Tectec -> Itsnotvalid
The CentralAuth system screwed me up, when I was attempting to change my usernames and then created a bunch of "auto-created" accounts for me. Please help me change the name. (Another mistake is by creating the target account, which I am the owner, if anyone could help me to move or unmerge or do whatever that could help me to move that SUL, it would be a great help. )Thanks! - Tectec 14:50, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Diaoha -> Melberg
Global unification of the username, to make it closer to the real name. Thank you beforehand!--Diaoha 10:27, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

The spesh man -> Spesh531
I'd like to change my username to "Spesh531" because that's the username I use on other projects. Thanks! - Spesh531 21:08, 23 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Your account was already renamed in February: —Emufarmers(T 04:24, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

Quadir -> Olivier Beaton
I'd like to change my username to "Olivier Beaton" because I am "Olivier Beaton" on wikipedia and my irc nic 'Finlay' was taken and "Quadir" is an old nic I'm not known for anymore. This would clear up confusion with my extensions, bugzilla and somewhat irc as well. I have editor rights if that needs to be transfered as well. Thanks! --Quadir 23:39, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
 * ✅ —Emufarmers(T 04:23, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
 * thanks! --Olivier Beaton 04:58, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

Requests for protection

 * Template:MW_stable_mysql_requirement, Template:MW_stable_php_requirement --Quadir 21:50, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * We tend to avoid protecting content here unless it becomes high traffic or vandalised a lot so probably going to side on not doing it but I will let someone else decide. Peachey88 22:24, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
 * ✅ both semiprotected indefinitely by User:Reach Out to the Truth - TBloemink 08:46, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Requests for deletion

 * $wgGroupPermissions has something funny going on. The current page is non-existant cotent, the history rev is a redirect. searching for it does not go to the Manual Manual:$wgGroupPermissions since this page exists. --Quadir 15:10, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
 * , $wgGroupPermissions is a redirect to Manual:$wgGroupPermissions so that it goes to it when you search it, Although I don't overly like these redirects (we should just fix the search) it isn't doing any harm. Peachey88 22:24, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
