Revision as of 20:17, 10 April 2014
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 09:57:24, 9 September 2024 (UTC) (

JBW0 → JBW
Status: Done
- Current username: JBW0 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
- Target username: JBW (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (advise user)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- For renamer use: Email target username, usurp user, rename user
- Datestamp: 13:02, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
- Reason: This is an alternative account of User:JamesBWatson, created for the purpose of hosting short cuts to pages in my user space, so that I can link to them or transclude them without having to type my full username each time. There are various messages intended to help new users that I find myself writing over and over again. I have copies of some of them, so that I can copy and paste them, but it will be even easier if I can just link them, by writing something along the lines of {{JBW:NewUserAdvice}}. JBW seems a convenient abbreviation to use, and since the JBW account was created well over 8 years ago, and has no edits (deleted or undeleted) and no log record (apart from the creation of the account), it seems very unlikely that this will inconvenience him or her. I am aware that this request does not conform to the instuction "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." However, I am a "well-established user", even if this account is not well-established, and it is in the nature of my intended use of the account that most of its use will not show up in the account's editing history anyway, as it will appear at Special:Contributions/JamesBWatson. If you are unwilling to accept that as a reason for making an exception, then I can use the account under its present title for a while, and come back and make another request in a few months, but it will be more helpful to be able to start using it under its intended name as soon a possible. There is also an account JBW on French Wikipedia, but that account too has existed for many years and has made no edits and has no log entries at all (apart from the creation of the account): see https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spécial:Contributions/JBW https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spécial:Journal/JBW and http://wikiscan.org/utilisateur/JBW I have read Wikipedia:Changing username/Guidelines#Handling SUL conflicts and see nothing there that should create any problem.

- Target user has 0 undeleted edits and 0 deleted edits. No SUL account exists for the target user. 1 non-enwiki unattached account exists with this name, with 1 total edit.

- Note: Checking what AnomieBOT says, the "non-enwiki unattached account" with this name, does have "1 total edit", but that edit has been deleted, as can be seen here. The account on English Wikipedia, however, has no edits, deleted or otherwise. JBW0 (talk) 13:31, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

- Datestamp: 14:22, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
- Reason: I am interested in acquiring 'zg' on Wikipedia because it is the initials of my name. This will be more appropriate for my account than using 'Zachera' which was a username that I thought up when I was a child.

None (SUL request) → Manedwolf
Status: In progress
- Target username: Manedwolf (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: 13:45, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
- Confirmation link: here
- Reason: I have a uncompleted global account named "Manedwolf" (My main wiki user page). There are three acounts named "Manedwolf" too in english, spanish and commons, which aren't active since 2005, 2007 and 2007 respectivly, from what i saw in the user contribution and talk pages.
I want to merge these all (and maybe rename my en.account named "Dorhi" with "Manedwolf). Thank in advance.
