WilliamH (

Kriegslüsterner (

Clerk note: If this rename were to be performed, you would have to manually create a 'Two-power standard' SUL by visiting
Special:MergeAccount. That SUL would be brand new and disconnected from any other wiki account that you have previously used. It is your choice if you want to connect your dewiki 'Kriegslüsterner' account to that new SUL or not - but if you want to do that, you would have to make this same rename request on dewiki.
NTox ·

That's not really what I was getting at. You have one account, and one SUL, obviously. To clarify, if I rename you here from Kriegslüsterner to Two-power standard, it will break your SUL. Each account will be non-unified. If you want to restore your SUL, you will need to request all the other instances of Kriegslüsterner on other wikis (as indicated by the SUL info button) to be renamed. Alternatively, if you decide to create a SUL for Two-power standard, then that makes it an independently unified account. Note that it is not possible to merge two different accounts.
WilliamH (

Kriegslüsterner (

Not at all - you can restore the SUL once you have been renamed on every other project. I was just making you aware though, that you would have to request it, which could be slightly tedious.
WilliamH (

I am not that attached to my current account. The tedium was precisely what my question was hinting at; a new account would automatically entail a new SUL, would it not? --
Kriegslüsterner (
talk) 22:56, 25 June 2012 (UTC)reply
Clerk note: If this rename were to be performed, you would have to manually create a 'Two-power standard' SUL by visiting
Special:MergeAccount. That SUL would be brand new and disconnected from any other wiki account that you have previously used. It is your choice if you want to connect your dewiki 'Kriegslüsterner' account to that new SUL or not - but if you want to do that, you would have to make this same rename request on dewiki.
NTox ·
talk 09:34, 2 July 2012 (UTC)reply
That's not really what I was getting at. You have one account, and one SUL, obviously. To clarify, if I rename you here from Kriegslüsterner to Two-power standard, it will break your SUL. Each account will be non-unified. If you want to restore your SUL, you will need to request all the other instances of Kriegslüsterner on other wikis (as indicated by the SUL info button) to be renamed. Alternatively, if you decide to create a SUL for Two-power standard, then that makes it an independently unified account. Note that it is not possible to merge two different accounts.
WilliamH (

Done Since Kriegslüsterner hasn't expressed any qualms with the rename request after all of this has been explained, "Kriegslüsterner" has been renamed to "Two-power standard". ···
