Example request:

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

__NOINDEX__

Vitalik7 → Vitalik
I'd like to change my username to "Vitalik" because that's the username I use on other projects. Thanks! - Vitalik7 (talk) 16:14, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Since User:Vitalik is not attached to your SUL account, could you please verify ownership of it? Also I don't think this is really necessary if you can use that account instead since this is your only edit here.--Jasper Deng (talk) 03:35, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

D_abhi → Abhinav
I'd like to change my username to "Abhinav", to complete the SUL Process. Confirmation link : diff. Thanks! - D abhi (talk) 07:13, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
 * ✅ - Hoo man (talk) 20:38, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Ionic → cinoI
I'd like to change my username to "cinoI" because "Ionic" is already taken on quite some other Wikipedias. I cannot complete the SUL process with this user name. Thanks for your support. - Ionic (talk) 20:33, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
 * ✅ - Hoo man (talk) 20:38, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

WolfRayet → CortoFrancese
I'm going to change my username in all the projects, because I want to have an username referred to my origins. Thanks for the support! --WolfRayet (talk) 22:28, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Done as a global rename. -- MF-W 22:51, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

Electric Wombat → Crow
Rename as part of SUL consolidation. Confirmation of ownership HERE - Electric Wombat (talk) 17:42, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

RunabRunab → Runab
I have the SUL for Runab (home plwiki) but still have conflicts on mediawiki.org. There's one problem. Here account Runab (not my) has a six edition (last: 13.01.2013 ). Is it change on create new account for Runab from mediawiki.org, so I could end create my SUL account? - RunabRunab (talk) 17:00, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

Change Abuse filter block lengths to 3 months for IPs only
I tried enabling automatic blocking for Special:AbuseFilter/28 but I forgot that this wiki hasn't configured $wgAbuseFilterAnonBlockDuration to be a finite duration yet. I think this would require at least some form of consensus. I am proposing 3 months because that is what I usually use for blocks of those spambots.--Jasper Deng (talk) 18:41, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * 3 months is definitely better than infinite. There's quite a huge gap however from this and, say, the 24 hours of autoblock; you may want to consider if few weeks actually suffice, for such IPs (are they even static?). If you think 3 months is best, let's go for it for now. --Nemo 09:16, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Personally I think 1 month should be all that's necessary on automatic blocks. If an IP is seen to get automatically blocked more than once, a manual, longer block can be implemented. 3 months is just a bit long as far as automatic blocks go in my opinion. Whatever works best for everyone else is fine for me though. --GeorgeBarnick (talk) 18:26, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Support either 3 months or 1 month (don't care which). I had this same idea myself before I even saw this here. Jackmcbarn (talk) 01:50, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I've opened 70828. Jackmcbarn (talk) 15:04, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

Delete user request
User: T816424

Please delete user account T816424 as created in error.

Apologies for the trouble. Thanks
 * We cannot and will not delete user accounts, for technical reasons.--Jasper Deng (talk) 20:17, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, it theoretically could be done, right? Leucosticte (talk) 18:27, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Technically it would be possible, but there is no reason to do so. And sysadmin is a usergroup "to perform actions for technical reasons". And i see no technical reason to do anything here :) --Florianschmidtwelzow (talk) 07:54, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
