Requests

New page

{{Shortcut box|[[GWW:RUM]] [[GWW:USERMERGE]]}}
This page is to '''request user merges''' for [[Guild Wars Wiki:List of bureaucrats|bureaucrats]] to carry out at their discretion.

User merging involves merging all contributions and logs from one account into another account, effectively changing their attribution. Page histories and log pages are updated to match the name of the new account. There is no limit on how many 'old' accounts can be merged into a 'new' account. Merging only has an effect on the wiki where it's carried out.

This does not delete the old user account, and does not transfer preference details (the old account remains usable). Also, [[Special:Preferences|the edit count in 'my preferences']] for the ''old'' account does not ''exclude'' the newly moved contributions, and similarly the ''new'' account does not ''include'' them.

'''Please note''' that this can be a drastic action and cannot be reverted without moving the ''entire'' contribution and log list from one account to another. Be sure you understand the effects before requesting a merge.

To add a new request:
# Ensure the new account is registered (it doesn't matter if it already has contributions)
# Add the following to the '''top of the list''' below, replacing the indicated parts:
<pre style="width:50%;margin-left:3em;">* {{user|<Name of old account>}} → {{user|<Name of new account>}}
: <Reason for requested merge>
: <Signature by old account>
: <Signature by new account>
</pre>
If you want the same merge to be carried out on the Guild Wars 2 Wiki, please mention it.

It is recommended that old userpages and talk pages be redirected to their new counterparts, to ease navigation to users via old links (e.g. in signatures). Userpages can be collectively moved using the "move subpages" option in the move tab. If there is a high number of pages, a bot can carry out the page moving and deletion of remnant-redirects if requested in your reasoning; this will keep the move-log entries and edits out of [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]].
