Description TeleComNasSprVen 2011-02-07 06:56:13 UTC 
In [[Special:Log/renameuser]], it's difficult to determine whether a user was renamed because it would usually require searching through WhatLinksHere and looking for specific redirects from the User namespace that point to the renamed user. If rather than just having "User:B" put into the page parameter list logs of "User:B was renamed to User:C" we can also have the option of viewing logs displaying "User:A was renamed to User:B" it'd be much easier.

I probably don't understand this request correctly, could you please elaborate?

Looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log/renameuser
I see entries like
     10:57, 32 May 2013 X (talk | contribs) renamed user A to B
and going to either
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log/renameuser?page=A or
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log/renameuser?page=B does not provide any search results to me.
Comment 2 Alex Monk 2013-05-17 16:31:18 UTC 
It would have to be page=User:A or page=User:B, Andre.
Comment 3 Andre Klapper 2013-05-29 14:09:34 UTC 
Yay, thanks. Still valid, then.
