Cannot edit my username back to old one

Created on 26 July 2025, 3 months ago

Problem/Motivation

My current username is “peter majmesku”, my old one ist “jepster”. My old username even links to my profile, so it belongs to me. I cannot edit my username back to “jepster”, because I do get the message, that this username is already taken. Please edit my username back to “jepster”. I edited my username the last time several years ago.

    I corrected https://www.drupal.org/u/jepster to go to the user account with a conflicting name, replacing the redirect. If you can log into that account, you can rename or delete it to free up the username for your current account.

    If you cannot access the jepster account, email help@drupalorg with details for assistance in confirming your account ownership and potentially regaining access.

    User accounts can not be merged, so that will not be an option unfortunately.
