Adding a babel

As you are applying for a global renamer right, would you mind adding a Babel code in the form ... {{#babel:xx|xx1|..|xxn}} to your user page. You may also wish review whether a soft redirect is still appropriate. Thanks.  — billinghurst sDrewth 04:07, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Yes, excellent idea. I will update accordingly. –xeno 12:53, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Global renamer

Hi Xeno. Just wanted to inform you that Matanya added you to the global renamer user group today, thus you are now able to globally rename accounts via Special:GlobalRenameUser. Good luck and if you ever have any questions, do not hesitate to ask of course! Trijnstel_talk 16:28, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

I've seen you already used the tool, though I figured this note couldn't hurt.

Thanks for the note! Yes, the tool seems to be in good working order =). Best regards, –xeno 17:03, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Renaming

sulutil:Edgars

Hi! Sorry for my stupidness, but could you tell, what I really need to do?

1. I have to make 3 requests in this page (as local bureaucrats can't do this anymore, right?) with request to usurp those accounts (or rename them to some other?)?
2. Make a new request to globally rename my username?

--Edgars2007 (talk) 15:50, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

DerHexer declined your request because several usurpations need to be carried out first, so you'll have to file those usurp requests, I suppose. You can still engage local processes where necessary, like hu:WP:USURP and en:WP:USURP and bureaucrats will review for compliance with local usurp procedures and refer to Stewards as necessary. There are actually 9 accounts that would need to be overcome before you can be renamed to Edgars. –xeno 18:10, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Good-bye, Xeno! :(

I have to leave the entire Wikimedia project and delete my global account, because I have to say "Good-bye!" to you Xeno and done editing across the English Wikipedia more than long enough. You'll see me go this time, no worries! --Allen ^{(talk to me! / ctrb / E-mail me)} 01:29, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

Xeno 2 account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Xeno 2. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Xeno 2~metawiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

Hi Keegan (WMF), I have merged the meta "Xeno 2" account to the enwiki one. Hopefully this will prevent the renaming of my alt account mentioned above. Best regards, –xeno 14:18, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

• Done; sorry for the delay –xeno 18:33, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

I am trying to login But its does not work. How much time renaming will take?--37.104.212.187 20:28, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

It should tell you that the account rename is still in process. Check CentralAuth on the renamed account. Vernon Schieck (talk) 20:30, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

It does not show see here--37.104.212.187 20:39, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Plz Xeno check it is not logging in, many hours ago but still it shows "Login error:Your account is currently being renamed or merged".--37.104.212.187 22:38, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Now it is working , Thanks--UsmanKhann (talk) 19:09, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Xeno?

What should I do to Contribute to wikimedia do you have any tips for me to Provide incentive for me to get to edit civilly to wikimedia. !GGG (talk) 04:27, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi !GGG, I see you've made lots of contributions on pt.wiki and pt.wq, so I'd suggest keeping that up. If you mean how to contribute to this local Wiki (metawiki), then I might suggest some translation work but I'm probably not the best person to ask. –xeno 12:54, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your suggestion from now on I will start to pay more attention as well as my experience will be for as long as you project. --!GGG (talk) 13:35, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Re:zh:request

Hi Xeno, as our past practice, using English suffix "(usurped)" will be fine. --Kegns 01:49, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your help on this Kegns. –xeno 14:55, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
