Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations

This page is for requests to take over an account name that is already registered. If you want your account renamed to a name that is still available, please use Special:GlobalRenameRequest or Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple.

This page is a forum in which users can request, and global renamers (including Stewards) familiar with local usurpation guidelines, can consider and carry out, the "usurpation" of usernames primarily held locally. This consists of renaming an existing account in order to vacate the username and allow another user to take it.

Please note that global accounts whose "home wiki" is another project or which have significant attachments on other projects cannot be usurped here; these requests must be made at meta:Steward requests/Username changes (see meta:Help:Unified login).

A few users have agreed to provide assistance with the mechanics of this process. If you wish to assist as well, please read the linked page carefully.

• The account you want to usurp must have the English Wikipedia as its "home wiki", i.e. or should be displayed next to the en.wikipedia.org entry for the account at Special:CentralAuth.
• The account you want to usurp should have no edits or significant log entries to qualify for usurpation (though rare exceptions are made in some circumstances). This includes edits or log actions on other Wikimedia projects. These can be checked through Special:CentralAuth.
• Please do not request usurpation of another account if your own user account is less than several months old, or barely used. In order to ensure that usurped usernames be put to good use, we prefer only to grant requests from reasonably well-established users.

Instructions

1. Log in to your present account.
   • Please do not leave a talk page message or e-mail the target account yourself. If this becomes necessary, a user familiar with the usurpation process will do so.
2. Click here to place your request.
   1. Replace "TARGET NAME" with the username you wish to usurp.
   2. Replace "YOUR REASON" with a description of why you want to usurp the account.
   3. Leave the "Subject/headline" field blank.

If the URL above does not work, simply copy the following text, click "edit this page" and paste it at the bottom of the page. Modify it as indicated.

{{subst:usurp|TARGET NAME|reason=YOUR REASON}}

Advanced usage

For requests involving renaming an account other than your logged in account, use this: {{subst:usurp|CURRENT NAME|TARGET NAME|reason=YOUR REASON}} For usurp only requests, which leaves your logged in account untouched, set the usurponly parameter to yes: {{subst:usurp|TARGET NAME|usurponly=yes|reason=YOUR REASON}} To add an optional non default signature, use the sig parameter: {{subst:usurp|TARGET NAME|reason=YOUR REASON|sig=OPTIONAL SIGNATURE}}

3. Preview the changes and make sure both names are spelled correctly. Click "Publish changes".
4. Your request is now complete and ready to be processed after the hold period (usually about a week). If the owner of the target account does not object, a global renamer will fulfill your request provided other requirements are met. Do not be surprised when you find yourself unable to log in to your old account.

• Requests that do not adhere to these instructions or that are grossly malformed are subject to removal.

Please place your request in the section for the current day, at the bottom of the list. It is currently 04:04:48, 5 November 2024 (UTC) ().

Earle Martin → Hex

Status:     On hold

• Current username: Earle Martin (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
• Target username: Hex (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (advise user)

• For renamer use: Email target username, usurp user, rename user
• Datestamp: 22:16, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
• Reason: Consolidating my online presence. I registered the account myself almost eight years ago, but never used it; now I want to.

-- Earle [^t/_c] 22:16, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Note:

• The target username has made edits to Wikipedia. Due to licensing concerns, this may be a barrier to usurpation.
• User has 3 undeleted edits, 0 deleted edits, and 3 total edits. Requesting user has 6423 edits. ClueBot VI (talk) 22:19, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

• Global SUL is owned by zh.wiki Hex (talk · contribs), you'll need to work it out with them and have the global account deleted if they concede the name. Otherwise, you won't be able to unify under the new name. –xeno^talk 22:34, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
  • Request sent. I will keep this page updated. -- Earle [^t/_c] 22:48, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
  • The user has not responded. Where can we go from here? -- Earle [^t/_c] 01:19, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
    • Without them relinquishing the global SUL, I'd advise against you adopting 'Hex' here, as it would make it a total PITA for interwiki work elsewhere. However, given that you do own the local name, we could perform the rename - if you desired. –xeno^talk 03:19, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

PalletBot → Pallet

Status:     Not done

• For renamer use: Email target username, usurp user, rename user
• Datestamp: 14:35, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
• Reason: To remove "bot" from the username, since this account will be used by a bot platform not a bot so having "bot" in the username will cause confusion. The edit summary will show edits was done by a bot, so it will be within the bot policy. I will answer any questions from my main account, d'oh!.

PalletBot (talk) 14:35, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Note:

• The target username meets the requirements for usurpation.
• The current owner of the target username does not have an email address specified.
• User has 0 undeleted edits, 0 deleted edits, and 0 total edits. Requesting user has 1 edits. ClueBot VI (talk) 14:39, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Could you explain further? What is the difference between a bot platform and a bot? Bot-flagged edits done by an account without "bot" in the name will be even more confusing, imo. –xeno^talk 14:40, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Pallet is just a platform that provide a connection to Wikipedia, the magic comes from a editors coding a job to do edits to Wikipedia running on the platform. I want to avoid calling the platform a bot and instead call the jobs coded by editors a bot, to make editors aware that they are coding bots and need to make sure they follow the same polices other bots go through. The edit summery will have the name of the bot running and a link to its discussion page. If the jobs done on the platform are called bots and the platform called has "bot" in the username it makes it harder to explain what is going on. I hope that makes some sense. d'oh! _talk 15:04, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

What about "Pallet Bot Platform" or something similar? "Pallet" could just be any old editor. –xeno^talk 15:07, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Since the edit summery and the user page will show that this is a bot platform running a bot. I didn't believe a lengthy username was needed and with a edit summery being lengthy already (with bot and edit info) I didn't want to take up anymore room in user's wishlist and page's history. d'oh! _talk 15:25, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

PalletPlatform? :D Benner9 (talk) 09:09, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

If we perform the rename, there is no guarantee that BAG won't just send you right back here to get it changed to something more suitable. Per Wikipedia:BOTPOL#Bot accounts, "it should be immediately clear that its edits are made by an automated account; this is usually accomplished by including the word 'Bot' at the beginning or end of the username". Yes, a descriptive edit summary and a bot flag will, in most cases, make it clear; but in other cases (such as a raw list of contributors to an article), it would not be clear. Would suggest you get clearance from BAG first with respect to the name avoid having to flip-flop back and forth. –xeno^talk 13:38, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

With the concerns raised here and the discussion at BAG, I like to withdraw the request. Thanks. d'oh! _talk 06:11, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

None (SUL request) → Merridew

Status:     In progress

• Target username: Merridew (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google)
• For renamer use: Email target username, usurp user
• Datestamp: 01:21, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
• Confirmation link: [none... here]
• Reason: Hi. I've been referred to as simply 'Merridew' in some recent discussions and think having this user name under my control with redirects to my real account a prudent move. I found that the account already exists but has no edits, log entries other than creation, and it has no sul conflicts. It was created most of five years ago (and not by me). My intent is anti-impersonation, to use it only for the redirects and not editing, and to unify it WMF-wide. Thanks.

I've now created the SUL account on meta commons and it all unified except for en:wp. I wanted to avoid anyone taking an account out there during the 7 days. Cheers, Jack Merridew 13:01, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
