Requests involving merges, usurps or other complications

TheAafi

Status:    Done

--─ The Aafī (talk) 12:23, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

 On hold until 30 May --Superpes15 (talk) 12:31, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
@Superpes15, thanks for the informative edit summary. I take a note. I thought I was too early requesting for a rename, and decided to think for a while more. Is a redirect from Aafi possible to TheAafi? ─ The Aafī on Mobile (talk) 13:52, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
@TheAafi: Sure! You can usurp it without renaming "TheAafi", creating a new account to be renamed to "Aafi" (or we can create "Aafi" for you - as you're not sysop and can't create it even after the usurp), and then you can add a redirect from "Aafi" to "TheAafi"! If, instead, you still want to withdrawn, just write it here, otherwise we can also usurp without changing TheAafi :) --Superpes15 (talk) 14:19, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
Alright @Superpes15. Please consider this request withdrawn. I will send a private request for the redirect. ─ The Aafī on Mobile (talk) 15:23, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
@TheAafi: If you withdraw this, Aafi cannot be usurped and you cannot create a redirect, please read again my message above, in which I explained the procedure (usurp without rename, creating a new account, adding a redirect), and confirm if you want to withdraw this! Superpes15 (talk) 15:32, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
@Superpes15, I guess I was not able to get the whole of this likely because I have been occupied by a lot of discussions going on at the WikiConference India. I want Aafi to be redirected to TheAafi at a global level. I was just saying that I do not want TheAafi renamed to Aafi (that is what I actually was referring to by the term withdrawn. Please create the account "Aafi" for me and I will make the redirect. I hope this makes some sense now. ─ The Aafī (talk) 18:36, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
No problems! Thanks for the confirmation, so you just have to wait until 30 May, when "Aafi" can be usurped and we'll contact you privately to create the new account (and send you the password) :) Superpes15 (talk) 19:04, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
Hi TheAafi, Please send us a email address by using this Email User interface. —MdsShakil (talk) 19:59, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
Done. ─ The Aafī (talk) 04:34, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
MdsShakil, ticket:2023053110002057 received from sulutil:TheAafi. Cabayi (talk) 09:12, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
Override-antispoof rights will be required to create this account; my meta-wiki account does not have this right. This request has to be completed by someone else who has the override-antispoof. —MdsShakil (talk) 07:24, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
@TheAafi: Do you have any preference for the home-wiki or can I create it here on metawiki? Superpes15 (talk) 19:43, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
@Superpes15: you can create it on Meta-Wiki. No problem. ─ The Aafī on Mobile (talk) 22:52, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
Done @TheAafi: I created the account and asked to send a random password to your email address! Let me know if you have any issue or if you want the 2FA :) Best --Superpes15 (talk) 00:37, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
@Superpes15: Thanks. I have logged in with that account and changed the password. ─ The Aafī (talk) 02:47, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

Status:    Not done

--Mr Eduardo W (talk) 22:16, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

@Mr Eduardo W The user made about 50 edits, not all in the same year, so usurps are not possible. Neriah - 💬 - 11:09, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

Not done In order to ensure that usurped usernames be put to good use, we prefer only to grant requests from reasonably well-established users. Please feel free to re-file this request in the future after your account has been established. —MdsShakil (talk) 06:14, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

Pdaxenbichler-fs1

Status:    Not done
Warning: A username cannot begin with a lower-case letter: pdaxenbichler → Pdaxenbichler

--Pdaxenbichler-fs1 (talk) 12:51, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

@Pdaxenbichler-fs1 Not done The user edited recently (only 10 months), so usurps cannot be done. Neriah - 💬 - 20:15, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

Illusion Flame

Status:    Not done

--Illusion Flame (talk) 11:25, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Not done Per standard procedure, accounts with valid edits are not usurped. Target has too much valid edits. —MdsShakil (talk) 11:37, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Okay. How many edits have to be considered valid? What if the account only has 15 edits globally @MdsShakil? Illusion Flame (talk) 12:00, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
@Illusion Flame It depends on a case-by-case basis. In general, if those 15 edits are minor, then it can be considered. —MdsShakil (talk) 13:59, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Target has uploaded some pictures on Commons, and due to licensing concerns, this account can't be usurped. What do you think? @Superpes15: —MdsShakil (talk) 03:17, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
@MdsShakil:, @Superpes15:, if I can't have Gallium (though I'd very much like to have it) then I'd also like the username of Phoenix. When I type in User:Phoenix in the search box on the English Wikipedia, I get User:Phӧénix (who hasn't been editing since July 2007 and has only made 16 edits to the en Wikipedia.) Is there any way to get around this if I want the username, and if so, if I can't have the username of Gallium, may I have the username of Phoenix? Thanks, ‍ ‍ Helloheart ‍ ‍ 03:42, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
Target has valid edits. So, usurpation isn’t possible here. User:Phoenix or User:Phӧénix doesn't exist. We can rename you to one of these names if you confirm. —Yahya (talk • contribs.) 14:03, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
@Yahya:, Yes, I'd like to be renamed to User:Phoenix if that's not any sort of problem. Thank you! ‍ ‍ Helloheart ‍ ‍ 15:12, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
The username is too similar to several names, including -PhoeniX- who is an active user (the other users have been inactive for many years...), so I'm not sure that the name can be changed. what do you think? Neriah - 💬 - 20:02, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
@Neriah:, @Yahya:, if I can't have Phoenix, I'd go for the username User:Relativity. User has only had 9 edits from 2006 on enwiki. I'd like the username User:Perth. User only has 16 live edits to dewiki, 12 of which are minor. [3]. Hasn't edited since late 2005. Thanks! ‍ ‍ Helloheart ‍ ‍ 23:49, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
