Install the Renameuser extension from http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/Renameuser/
thxs Anders, but that extension only renames users whithin table "users" an perhaps soome more. But my problem are the references within the "cur"-table where you have text / links to a user page "[[user:name]]". these references dont get changed by that extension.

Use the 'what links-here' data and then run a bot to fix the refered pages?
