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 10:17:59, 21 May 2024 (UTC) ().

• For renamer use: Email target username, usurp user, rename user
• Datestamp: 22:38, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
• Reason: Error while registering. The other account was also me. The password is a long string of random characters which I did not write down, so now I am unable to log into that. I really do not like that Q. I am afraid I might not be able to meet the threshold for a quite some time, but... I would rather let the word out before I put my signature on too many pages.

• Datestamp: 03:47, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

AnomieBOT⚡ 03:55, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

 Bureaucrat note: There are a lot of incoming links to User talk:Andrew ([1]). I am worried that granting this request will cause confusion. Have you discussed it with Golbez (talk · contribs)? WJBscribe (talk) 20:28, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi there. I have let Golbez know that I am trying to usurp "Andrew" and he has indicated that he is happy with this. I have not talked about this specific issue. Should I raise it with Golbez, or do I need to fix those links? The most recent appears to be from 2008 so perhaps it is not a problem, but there are less than 100 so fixing them all is doable. Cheers Andrew (talk) 23:53, 27 June 2012 (UTC) (Just to confuse things my signature is already Andrew).

Also, when renaming happened I wasn't aware of WP:Activist, which caused me few problems [4] [5]. Currently User:Mohamed CJ redirects to User:Bahraini Activist. I've accidently made 3 edits with User:Mohamed CJ about two weeks after the renaming took place.
