- @Catherine Laurence: You need to suppress usurption redirects otherwise it will create multiple failed userpage moves as it did in this case over enwiki. Also it's better if user handling the request complete rename as some of us also notify them via email and they can respond there. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 06:21, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

AB
Status: Done
- Wiki: de.wikipedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: AB-fi (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: AB (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, _target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: SUL finalization. I was user AB-fi in deWikipedia before SUL. Until 2015(?) it was not possible to usurp AB in deWikipedia because there was another AB with edits. That changed later (old AB was renamed AB~dewiki) and I got accidentally created deWikipedia account AB attached to my SUL account AB when visiting deWikipedia after a few years of inactivity. AB in deWikipedia has edit count 0 [1] and AB-fi only has 40+ edits in deWikipedia [2]. There is a link in AB-fi user page to confirm that I am AB-fi.

Thanks @1997kB:. So @AB:, I'll change "AB-fi" on dewiki to "AB" on dewiki, yes? --Alaa :)..! 04:16, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
- Yes. Thank you! AB (talk) 06:22, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
Done. @AB: can you please enter dewiki through both accounts, is it work well? @1997kB: we can close this request after AB confirmation --Alaa :)..! 13:25, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
- AB, you have to login with both accounts and go to Special:MergeAccount to complete unification. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 13:35, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
- Everything is working fine now. Thank you, both of you! AB (talk) 20:41, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
