Forum:User renames possible?

Special:ListGroupRights now mentions that bureaucrats, Wikia Staff and Helpers may now rename users. Some Qs: Ω penBSDWiki 15:41, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Why was RenameUser installed? Don't know, but that's not the extension.
 * How can users request renames?
 * I doubt this is the case. That would mean that anyone could create a wiki, becoming a bureaucrat there, and rename users across Wikia. -- 15:53, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, it's only Community Central. Ω penBSDWiki 16:09, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hiya. Yes, RenameUser is currently installed at Trac (not sure at central?). I think we'll soon have this feature available, until then this isn't possible. As soon as it is available, my best guess would be to use Special:Contact as it'll probably be staff-only. Mark  ( talk ) 16:11, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's live on Community. Special:Version mentions "UserRenameTool". Ω penBSDWiki 16:13, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Most likely it is live on Community because only Wikia staff can be bureaucrats there. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 9:33 AM PST 14 Aug 2010
 * Does this mean that poor eulalia can get a less feminine name now? -- 16:34, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * : P. This will probably be one of the few extensions nobody will complain about! I'm going to change my name right away too. Also, the special page is Special:UserRenameTool according to the code. From what I can see in the i18n files, the feature will also move user pages/talk pages :). I'm not sure about permissions as I can access it... Mark  ( talk ) 16:37, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah... now I can get a less promotional name: The Evil Linus. Ω penBSDWiki 16:40, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Tedjuh, I would imagine they're going to draft up a "policy" or guidance on renaming. On Uncyclopedia, they will only let you do it once. And I probably wouldn't mess with it, like other special pages, just because you have access to them doesn't mean you're allowed to use them. I'm guessing helpers have it so that certain people can use the tool. -- 16:43, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Uhm... Did I say anything about using it :)? Mark  ( talk ) 16:45, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
