:''This page is for requests to usurp accounts that already exist. If you want your account renamed to a name that is not already taken, please see [[Wikipedia:Changing username]].''
{{NOINDEX}}
<div id="CHU_header">
This page permits users to request, and [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats|bureaucrats]] to consider and carry out, the "'''usurpation'''" of usernames. This consists of renaming an existing dormant account in order to permit another user to adopt the name.


=== December 29, 2024 ===
If you wish to request usurpation, please read carefully the [[#Instructions|"Instructions" section]] below. Malformed requests waste other users' time, and may not be fulfillable. Be advised, in particular, that the account you want to usurp must have '''no edits or log entries''' (except in the username creation log) to qualify for usurpation.
''Requests left here should be addressed on or after January 6, 2025.''


====Fab1442006 → Izington====
Please do not request usurpation if your 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.

{{Usurp2| 1=Fab1442006 | 2=Izington }}
Please follow these instructions carefully to ensure that the process runs efficiently. Malformed requests waste other users' time.
*Datestamp: 10:24, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
* Be sure the account you wish to usurp has no edits or log entries (except in the account creation log).
*Reason: My old username happen to be my Date of Birth and part of my real name. I'm no longer comfortable of it showing on wikipedia so I'm changing my wikipedia username with my current social media username as I'm more known with "Izington".

: Please do not e-mail the target account yourself. If this becomes necessary, a bureaucrat or other designated user will do it.
* Add your request to this page using the proper template. This may be done via a shortcut (1) or by the traditional method (2):
** (1) The shortcut: Click [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Changing_username/Usurpations?action=edit&section=new&preload=Wikipedia:Changing_username/Usurpations/req this link]. Replace "Name_To_Usurp" with the username you wish to usurp, and "Current_Name" with your current username. You may include some reason for the change beneath the template if you wish. Leave the "Subject/headline" field blank. Check your spelling and click "Save page".
** (2) The traditional method: Click "edit this page"; find the section for today's date; copy the following text and paste it at the bottom of that section.
:<pre>{{subst:usurp|Name_To_Usurp|Current_Name}} ~~~~</pre>
:Replace "Name_To_Usurp" with the username you wish to usurp, and "Current_Name" with your current username. You may include some reason for the change beneath the template if you wish.
:Check your spelling and click "Save page".


=== January 1, 2025 ===
Your request is now complete and ready to be processed. If the owner of the target account does not object within seven days, a bureaucrat will fulfill your request. Mark the date, so you will not be surprised when you find yourself unable to log in to your old account.
''Requests left here should be addressed on or after January 9, 2025.''


====OnePunchYT → Grand Admiral Thrawn====
A few users have agreed to provide [[Wikipedia:Changing username/Assistance|assistance]] with the mechanics of this process. If you wish to assist as well, please read the linked page carefully. Bureaucrats, see [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats]] for instructions for processing these requests.

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}}
  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 00:40:59, 3 January 2025 (UTC) (Update).
