Thoji
Status: Done

- Old Username: Thoji (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I would like to change my username firstly to make it easier to decline mainly for Polish users, as I mainly edit in Polish Wikipedia and Wikisource. Secondly, I've been using the name "Pius" pretty much everywhere for some time now. The user whose name I want to usurp made his last edits 14 years ago just on Latin Wikipedia, with only three of them in the "(Main) namespace".

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: When I created my account, I made it for local Wikipedia usage but now I wanted to change so that it would be easier for universal usage (English nick and Latin script). Account Seeker is inactive for 12 years. — Трагач Истине (talk) 21:41, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
- On hold until 23 July. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 06:08, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
- {{notdone}} Target account logged in and made a comment on their talk page after this notification which mean they are active. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 16:39, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
- @1997kB: Are you serious right now? Account who didn't have any edits on their home wikipedia or any Wikipedia project for 11 years and just wrote "Hei" because he got notification on email that someone wrote on their talk page? No explanation, nothing? Do I need to wait another 10 years before I submit request? Edit: It is stated in that default message "make an edit to this page clearly stating that you object to usurpation" and nowhere on user page is clearly stated that he objects to usurpation. — Трагач Истине (talk) 16:49, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
- The thing is that account is active, but I have also initiated a email conversation to know that they want to keep the username or not. Until then I'm putting it onhold again. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 08:33, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
- I doubt you will get a response from email since my man had an entire month to object to name change and since your message and his "Hei", he haven't made any notable edits or anything. Edit: @1997kB: any news? — Трагач Истине (talk) 11:08, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Трагач Истине: Hello, Just to make it clear, that I haven't got any response since "Hei" but if they come back in future and request to get back their username, you might be renamed back to Трагач Истине. I hope that's right for you. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 06:00, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
- @1997kB: If he comes back, I'll leave it to renamers discretion to judge what to do. — Трагач Истине (talk) 07:33, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

UBX~metawiki
Status: Not done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: UBX~metawiki (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: UBX (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 w:User:UBX account was created to host userboxes migrated via the Userbox Migration.
Similarly, the local User:UBX account was also created, but it has been renamed to User:UBX~metawiki instead of being merged with the global UBX account. (cc: @Liangent, Mets501, Kylu) — ExE Boss (talk) 20:20, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
- @ExE Boss: What's the reason behind this merge? Why not simply use UBX global account? ‐‐1997kB (talk) 02:06, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
- @1997kB: Because the UBX global account isn’t registered locally on Meta: User:UBX — ExE Boss (talk) 13:10, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
- @ExE Boss: Then it's best to ask owner of UBX to create a local account here. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 14:09, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
- @1997kB: That’s why I cc’d Liangent, Mets501, and Kylu, they’re the owners of User:UBX and User:UBX~metawiki respectively. — ExE Boss (talk) 14:15, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
- Not done There's no point in keeping it here as it's not related to renaming, so closing. @ExE Boss: You can further take it to UBX's talk page. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 12:47, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
- @ExE Boss: Then it's best to ask owner of UBX to create a local account here. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 14:09, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

Green Giant
Status: Done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Green Giant (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Cromium (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’ve been meaning to request a rename for years but have only just got round to it. The main obstacle in the past was the technical limitation on renaming accounts with large numbers of edits. The target is actually my own alternate account (unused for several years). It would be a simple rename request except I’d made a couple of edits in the userspace using the account, so I’m making the request here for transparency. --Green Giant (talk) 13:16, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
- This edit is just to confirm this is my alternate account, so there is no need for informing the account. My intention is to edit as User:Cromium in future and leave User:Green_Giant as an alternate account. --Cromium (talk) 13:19, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
- Done. -- CptViraj (talk) 14:26, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: For privacy reasons. The new username was created at the id.WP and en.WP and never made a single edit, so I hoping to "usurp" it. SirEdimon (talk) 06:50, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: For privacy reasons, I would like to rename my account to remove my last name from it. The new username was used to make only two edits on en.wiki in 2015, so I hope I can usurp the name.

- Reason: I accidentally created a new account, because i though i lost the Osariusz account, but then the email from wikipedia arrived XD I would like to be called Osariusz and merge the two accounts.
