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)

 * Please sign this request properly Reedy (talk) 00:48, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Vladek Komorek -> Władysław Komorek
I have changed my global name from Vladek Komorek to Władysław Komorek. Please correct all my supages and remove "Vladek Komorek" account, also my old "Wlakom" if exist. Thanks! - Vladek Komorek 09:57, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Account for "Władysław Komorek" already exists locally. Reedy (talk) 00:46, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

None (SUL) -> Yova
My name in other projects is Yova and I started to create a SUL with this name.
 * Please sign this request properly. Also, Yova exists locally Reedy (talk) 00:48, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
 * OK, second chance: I would like to usurp the account name "Yova", because I am creating a SUL account. Conformation link: here. Thanks a lot, 46.117.159.236 13:03, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Dmb -> Dan Bosler
Plz merge User:Dmb with User:Dan Bolser if possible. Oh... on WP I think I'm wikipedia:User:Dmb000006.

Cheers, --Dan Bolser 22:10, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
 * We can't merge accounts. Reedy (talk)

10nitro -> LukeShu
I was "10nitro", but am now "LukeShu" on WP, and hopefully soon on Commons. Thanks! 10nitro 04:23, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Antaya → Benoit Rochon
1. Since my election to the board of Wikimedia Canada, it seems more professional to use my real name. 2. I want the real paternity of my contributions in Commons. 3. Requests already done on many Wikis. Here is the Proof of ownership. Thank you. Antaya (talk) 17:06, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

None (SUL) -> Clay
I'd like to usurp the username "Clay" because that's the username I use on other projects. Thanks! (confirmation) - 64.74.212.18 09:13, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I sent a message to Clay, let's wait if he still wants to use this name or not. If we get no response in 7 days, I will rename it Petrb (talk) 13:13, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
 * ✅ Petrb (talk) 21:23, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Rubenerd &rarr; RubenSchade
Am moving my accounts across Wikimedia before unifying (I registered prior to unified accounts being standard). I've already successfully changed on the Commons (link) and on English Wikipedia (link). Thank you :) --Rubenerd (talk) 02:53, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Done Petrb (talk) 10:31, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Appreciated, thank you :) --RubenSchade (talk) 01:28, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Imperator Sascha -> Inquisitor Ehrenstein
I'd like to change my username to "Inquisitor Ehrenstein" because that's the username I use on other projects. I'm also chaining my username to something that's not a main character in one of my stories, which is what my old username was. Thanks! - Imperator Sascha (talk) 14:55, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
 * OK, but your current username is attached to SUL, do you want to detach it? In that case you will need to reatach it once your SUL is renamed. Petrb (talk) 10:32, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
 * What is SUL? I guess that would be alright. --Inquisitor Sasha Ehrenstein aus Sturmkrieg Sektor (Talk) (Contributions) 19:05, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I looked it up and it would be fine. --Inquisitor Sasha Ehrenstein aus Sturmkrieg Sektor (Talk) (Contributions) 19:06, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Problem with unified login
I normally edit on English Wikipedia as wikipedia:en:User:Bazonka. I have been trying to set up a unified login account for Bazonka, but I'm unable to do this fully because my Bazonka account here at Mediawiki is inaccessible. I don't know what the password is, and there is no email address associated with it, so the Password Reset functionality doesn't help. I had the same problem with my account at Commons. A bureaucrat helpfully renamed my unusable Bazonka account so that a new Bazonka account could be created (see here). Can the same be done to my account at Mediawiki please? If you need proof that I am the real Bazonka, then you should be able to email me via my English Wikipedia account. Thanks, Bazonka 91.125.92.179 11:01, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi. The account was likely registered in past by someone else and now it was renamed in order to let you unify it. You can login to mediawiki.org using your central account now. Petrb (talk) 13:49, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much. Bazonka (talk) 14:20, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
