Revision as of 12:19, 13 January 2021
![]() | Any requests for usurpation of global accounts with attachments on other projects should be made at meta:Steward Requests/Username changes. Only requests to usurp en.wiki accounts without significant attachments on other projects will be processed here. |
![]() | No English? En-0? Find an ambassador in your language to help. |
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.
Notes
- 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
- 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.
- Click here to place your request.
- Replace "
TARGET NAME
" with the username you wish to usurp. - Replace "
YOUR REASON
" with a description of why you want to usurp the account. - Leave the "Subject/headline" field blank.
- Replace "
- 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}}

- Preview the changes and make sure both names are spelled correctly. Click "Publish changes".
- 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 19:26:56, 8 July 2024 (UTC) (
).
December 27, 2020
Requests left here should be addressed on or after January 4, 2021.
