Fellows,

One of the daunting tasks that users and stewards alike face is to get one user renamed across projects. This often takes weeks or even months before a user gets their rename completed. Main reason is that there was no global rename tool and stewards usually does not act on wikis where there are active bureaucrats. This causes the user to wait till they get themselves renamed everywhere and often ends up being half renamed for weeks.

We currently have a solution to rename users across projects. To make every one's life easier, we would need to have a global rename policy in place to allow stewards to rename users across projects.

We have reopened the RfC herehttps://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Global_rename_policy. Kindly read the current drafthttps://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_rename_policy and provide your thoughts and feedbacks.

Thank you for your time in advance.

Regards, Jyothis.
