WP:CHU/SUL

This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference.
Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump.

This page was a temporary forum for the processing of username changes that related to the migration to single unified login (SUL) between June 2008 and April 2010. Prior to this, it served as a holding pen for requests that could not be completed due to bugs in the SUL renaming process.

Instructions

For the instructions that were in use at the time this page was closed to new requests, see Wikipedia:Changing username/SUL/Front matter/Instructions

Notes

When the rename has been completed, your account will have been renamed, and any contributions you have made (including deleted contributions) will be reattributed to your new account as a background process. Your account preferences, watchlist contents, password, etc. will all be preserved, and your user and user talk pages will have been moved to the new name.
Note: The process responsible for reallocating old contributions is currently dependent upon the job queue mechanism. As such, you may find old contributions do not immediately appear under your new account; this is perfectly normal. Updates should take at most a day to complete, although the length of time will vary according to the size of the job queue on this wiki, and the status of the server processes which process this queue.
The change will appear in the user rename log and the request will be moved to the archives in the interest of transparency. It is not possible to rename accounts without an entry being created in the log.
This change will not affect signatures you have already left on talk pages, or other places where you signed your username with ~~~~. Those pages will continue to display your signature (including the link to your old username) unless edited manually.
Be aware: Once you have been renamed, your old account will no longer exist and may potentially be recreated by a third party. This is true even if your old account pages have been redirected towards your new account. To guard against impersonation, you may wish to recreate the old account yourself.

A few users have agreed to provide assistance with the mechanics of this process. If you wish to assist as well, please read the linked page carefully.

My SUL is Maurits on approximately 70 wiki's now, the only one missing is en.wiki. On the existing account, there have been made 6 relevant edits, the last one in october 2007, and there is no talk page. I would like to take over this account, if possible.

SoxBot has evaluated this request, and a problem(s) was found. Target username exists, but as it has no contributions, it can be usurped at WP:USURP. SoxBot VI (talk) 17:42, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Moved from CHU. —Anonymous Dissident^Talk 06:05, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note:

The target username meets the requirements for usurpation.
The current owner of the target username does not have an email address specified. —Anonymous Dissident^Talk 06:06, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
