- @TenWhile6 I've decided I don't want this username anymore, could I stop the usurpation? Thanks. Wake Up Mr. R 19:05, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Rederef Okay. Please note that this means that you should not request a new usurpation in the next months. Thanks, TenWhile6 19:07, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oh, thanks for the information. I was about to make a new request, but in that case, I'll follow what you stated and wait a few months before making it. Cheers. Wake Up Mr. R 19:12, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

- @Rederef, you haven't mentioned why you want to change your username. Could you please explain briefly? – DreamRimmer (talk) 14:24, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- Rd works as it's similar to my current username and it's shorter, along with that more convenient and easier to remember. Wake Up Mr. R 23:16, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
Panassko
Status: Done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Panassko (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Panasko (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: Hello,
I registered account "Panasko" in 2017 in which I made no edits. After several years in 2022 I wanted to start contributing to Wikipedia and registered new account "Panassko". I recently realized my accounts can be renamed (second s is added becouse I want to use with one s as that is simpler and is my usual username/nickname). I can access both accounts in case any confirmation is needed.
Best regards, -- Panassko (talk) 12:45, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, please confirm. signed, Aafi (talk) 08:24, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- I confirm.
- Best regards, Panasko (talk) 10:18, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Panassko, Thanks for the confirmation. When we process this rename, your contributions linked to username Panassko will be moved to Panasko, and Panasko will be renamed as Panasko (usurped). Would you like to choose a custom username for Panasko instead of Panasko (usurped)? – DreamRimmer (talk) 10:46, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello @DreamRimmer Panasko will be great.
- Thank you in advance, Panassko (talk) 10:56, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Panassko, I apologise for any confusion. What I meant is that to process this request, we need to rename your account "Panasko" to "Panasko (usurped)" to free up the username for renaming "Panassko" to "Panasko." Would you like to choose a different username for "Panasko" instead of "Panasko (usurped)?". – DreamRimmer (talk) 11:10, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- My bad, Panasko (usurped) is fine. Panassko (talk) 11:12, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
