Revision as of 18:01, 30 May 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 03:14:43, 21 May 2024 (UTC) (Update).



Current requests

SUL requests

Requests related to unifying a global login will be filled as soon as a bureaucrat has reviewed them.

Diti ← DitiTux

Diti is the username I use everywere, from my Mozilla LDAP account to other Wikimedia Foundation's projects. I plan to make an usurpation request to Wikipedia Spain as soon as this account is renamed (only one edit, my account on ES is DitiTux too). As you can see, this account has never be used since its creation the 15 October 2005. DitiTux (talk) 20:58, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note:
  • The target username meets the requirements for usurpation.

Bff ← Bfff

Note:

Newt ← Newtttt

Note:
  • The target username has made edits to Wikipedia. Due to licensing concerns, this may be a barrier to usurpation. Rudget (Help?) 09:18, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Eh, actually because of SUL it seems very likely that you'll be able to usurp this account. However, let's wait a week to see if we can get the attention of the present User:Newt, to be sure he knows what's going on. — Dan | talk 19:06, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chilin ← Chilinium

Hello, I'm user Chilin (E-mail) at the Russian wikipedia, where I am a active user. I want to change my username at the English wikipedia to Chilin as well, to use my global account.

I agree, but just flagging attention to it anyway. Rudget (Help?) 09:50, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

LoKi ← Feuer

I am an active Russian Wikipedia user. Sometimes I also edit English Wikipedia, but pretty seldom - it is mostly wikification, interwiki, etc. I know there's an active English Wikipedia user Loki (with the small "k"), but I request for "LoKi" (with the large "K").

Note:

Note:

 On hold The edits were self reverted and was a vandal anyway.

"Omgee" is my username of choice for most sites I frequent online, and is far less confusing than my present username. Requesting change for consistency and readability.

Note:
  • The target username meets the requirements for usurpation.
  • The current owner of the target username does not have an email address specified.

Face ← Face_zz

Hi all. I would like to request the usurpation of the name Face (talk · contribs). This account has only been used for two trollish edits on June 6, 2005, both of which were almost immediatly reverted. The '_zz' behind my username never really mean't anything: I had to add that because 'Face' was already taken. I only recently found out about Usurpation, and I hope this request will be accepted. As required, I have left a note about this at the talk page of the target username. Cheers, Face_zz 19:29, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note:
  • The target username has made edits to Wikipedia that are now deleted. Usernames with only deleted edits can usually be usurped.
