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)Reply

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

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! Trijnsteltalk 16:28, 4 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

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)Reply

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?

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)Reply
