Revision as of 15:32, 24 December 2008

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}}
  1. Preview the changes and make sure both names are spelled correctly. Click "Publish changes".
  2. 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 18:13:21, 15 November 2024 (UTC) (Update).

  •  Bureaucrat note: Your edit history suggests you had a rename as recently as November 2008. I'm uncertain why you should want another so soon. We're reluctant to rename people who simply change their minds. Finally, if all you want is privacy, a request at WP:CHU for a name not previously used should suffice. --Dweller (talk) 11:21, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

207.170.255.140 → Acobb

I currently have no account, but have made several edits saved to my IP. I am becoming more active and would like all my information saved in one place, not tied to IP's that I don't own. This user name seems unused, and would work well for me as a professional yet reasonably anonymous account.
Update: Changed my account name to reflect that I did in fact leave a message on the user's discussion page.

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 edits. ClueBot VI (talk) 21:01, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: AFAIK, IP contributions can't be reassigned to a user account. Xclamation point 23:24, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I do not want my contributions reassigned (they are not all mine anyway), I just wish to take over this unused account.207.170.225.140 (talk) 18:02, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, get you. I'll clear the Acobb account off after the 7 day waiting period. You can then create a fresh account. =Nichalp «Talk»= 19:23, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

December 17, 2008

Requests left here will be filled no earlier than December 25, 2008.

Luinfana → Noir


Reason: I have largely abandoned the name "Luinfana" on other websites; Wikipedia is probably the last on which I still have this handle. "Noir," which I use far more often, would be a much better representation of me as an editor on Wikipedia. Thank you for your consideration.

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 344 edits. ClueBot VI (talk) 01:02, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DepartedUser → Hipocrite

Note:
  • The target username has made edits to Wikipedia. Due to licensing concerns, this may be a barrier to usurpation.
  • User has 13 undeleted edits, -9 deleted edits, and 4 total edits. Requesting user has 9193 edits. ClueBot VI (talk) 02:43, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
As a note to the note, the only edits made by the user behind the target user name were [[2], [3] and [4]. The other edits were edits of mine that were deleted when I was renamed, but undeleted afterwards. None of the "new" Hipocrite's contributions remains GFDL relevent (all were reverted immediately). DepartedUser (talk) 02:45, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Is the Hipocrite account under your control? If so, this request can be speedily done, without waiting for the seven-day deadline. Maxim(talk) 00:36, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No, it is not under my control. After my name change, Hipocrite was registered by a vandal who wished to trade on my history. DepartedUser (talk) 14:15, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SRX → Bonez

The bot has found that the name exists, but no contributions were ever made under the account. I feel uncomfortable now about SRX due to personal reasons, and in addition I feel like I need a permanent name that I can stick with forever on Wikipedia, and this is the one because it is a family nickname and it will be the one I stick with forever on Wikipedia because I have changed it twice already.--SRX 21:33, 17 December 2008 (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 18141 edits. ClueBot VI (talk) 21:37, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I left a message on the talkpage.--SRX 21:41, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Note:
