Your account will be renamed
[edit]Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Deaddude. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Deaddude~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: Special:GlobalRenameRequest. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk)

DYK for Aya Ogawa (playwright)
[edit]
On 28 January 2026, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Aya Ogawa (playwright), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a bad review inspired Aya Ogawa to create an Obie Award–winning play? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Aya Ogawa (playwright). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Aya Ogawa (playwright)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to nominate it.
