If the wiki is set up for it, how do I request that my account be renamed? I'd really like to make the username I use across websites consistent, and I created my wiki account years ago when I was using a different username for everything. (I'd like to make the actual request on the wiki itself, just so you can be sure you're changing the right account.)

The wiki software (Mediawiki) doesn't natively support that, unfortunately. There is an extension that claims to, but from what I gather, it has unintended side effects. I'd suggest just making a new account, and linking to it from your old user page if you don't mind.
(If the issue is that you can't reuse the email address, I can probably disassociate it from the old account - just let me know if that's what you want)

That's alright. My inclination was to create a second account anyway, but I figured I'd ask first and avoid having a second account if I could. :)
