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.
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}}

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 10:44:50, 9 October 2024 (UTC) (Update).

Just trying to change simplify my login to one which has been my active signature for quite a while now (was gradually trying remove the 1984 and allow people time to get used to the new name. User:Dweller was attempting to assist me, but got stuck when he noticed that User:MDCollins exists (has been registered since '06 and has made no edits). I would then like to change my SUL to MDCollins but it doesn't seem that simple, so any advice would be appreciated. Many thanks.—MDCollins (talk) 23:09, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have been inadvertently using two accounts with the same username, only diferring in capitalization, a problem that originated in Wikipedia letting me register two different accounts to the same email address. I have been actively using both accounts in two different PCs and would like to move over to using only 'UKER', but I obviously don't want to lose track of my contributions. Can you do it so that contributions from both accounts are transferred to the new account? Thanks in advance. uKER (talk) 13:38, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
