this page for details on how to get the renaming done on other wikis. One thing to be careful of is not logging back into those wikis where your username has been changed after you are renamed there. This can interfere with the moving of your edits to the new username. Does that answer your questions? If so, would you like us to go ahead with the username change here? ···
