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__

MD Webbureau → Firtinaam
I'd like to change my username to "Firtinaam" because MD Webbureau is my company name, but i see that isnt good. So i would like to change it. Thank you. - MD Webbureau (talk) 11:55, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I have seen your requests on other wikis declined due to the fact that you could create another account. Whether that's common practice here, I don't know, but I'm leaning a bit toward declining this request pending comment from others.--Jasper Deng (talk) 02:43, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't see a reason not to do it. Peachey88 (talk) 03:30, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I would ignore what has happened on other wikis, except that if I rename the user, it might cause SUL problems, as from m:Meta:Changing username, it appears that he might accept the advice to just create another account. If another bureaucrat disagrees, I wouldn't complain. It's just my own personal doubts. If I don't see him respond to the request on Meta soon (on whether he'll take the advice), I'll do it.--Jasper Deng (talk) 04:00, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

VolodymyrF → Володимир Ф
I'd like to change my username to "Володимир Ф" because that's the username I use on other projects. Thanks! - VolodymyrF (talk) 09:16, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅--Jasper Deng (talk) 22:19, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks. --Володимир Ф (talk) 06:21, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Knochen → Knochen
My request is in German - sorry


 * Gegenwärtiger Benutzername: w:de:Benutzer:Knochen - Homewiki, my SUL
 * Begründung, ggfs. inkl. Diff-Link zum Heimatwiki: Auf http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Knochen gibt es einen Benutzer ohne Beiträge. Diesen möchte ich gerne übernehmen um nicht zwangsweise umbenannt zu werden. Ich kann mich hier nicht mit meinem Benutzernamen=Knochen anmelden! Eine Bestätigung dieser Anfrage kann ich gerne auf meiner Homewiki-Diskussionsseite w:de:Benutzer Diskussion:Knochen vornehmen. Mit w:de:Spezial:Benutzerkonten zusammenführen funktioniert es nicht. Ich möchte nicht meinen bisherigen/jetzigen Benutzernamen ändern oder verlieren. Geht das? Danke --217.246.201.14 18:28, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
 * @Bureaucrats: The user requests to usurp the account Knochen (0 edits) for being able to include mediawikiwiki in his SUL. If necessary, he would confirm this request on w:de:Benutzer Diskussion:Knochen. Vogone    talk   13:27, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
 * finished, I get the account automatically. Thanks --217.246.220.206 10:23, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅ -- Skiz zerz  05:04, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

KidXap → XapApp
My name on the English Wikipedia was renamed from KidXap to XapApp long time ago. My contributions to MediaWiki was done with this account and that's why I'd like to rename this account to XapApp. The account XapApp that exists on this wiki was created with my SUL account. Thanks. KidXap (talk) 10:48, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Could you confirm via your XapApp account that you are indeed the same person (if you don't want to confirm using your local XapApp account since that account would then get renamed, confirm on the English Wikipedia or another wiki). -- Skiz zerz  13:40, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Will that do? I can also confirm using my local account if you'd like. Thank you,  -- KidXap(Talk·Contribs) 07:18, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅, you will likely need to manually merge XapApp into your SUL account. -- Skiz zerz  23:15, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Alright, thanks! And it seems I didn't have to merge it manually.  -- XapApp(Talk·Contribs) 09:05, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Maverick7 → Maverick7
I'd like to usurp the username Maverick7 since that's the one I'm using in other projects. I've been going through the process on getting my SUL, while doing so, the system is telling me that I can't attach my username to this wiki (my home wiki is the eswiki) I've checked wikimedia for this username and it has only 1 edit, since then it has been inactive. Can you help me with this request please?. Thanks! - 190.120.1.74 17:45, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Please verify that you own this account by confirming with an edit on another wiki that this IP edit is yours.--Jasper Deng (talk) 18:05, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
 * It will be my pleasure! You can confirm this request by clicking here. Thanks again!
 * ✅. It should be clear for you to autounify your SUL account here.--Jasper Deng (talk) 22:10, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much!!! --Maverick7 (talk) 22:57, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
