Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations

[[:|WP:CHU/U
WP:USURP]]

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.

This page permits users to request, and 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.

If you wish to request usurpation, please read carefully the "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.

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.

Instructions

Please follow these instructions carefully to ensure that the process runs efficiently. Malformed requests waste other users' time.

Be sure the account you wish to usurp has no edits or log entries (except in the account creation log).
Ensure that it meets the changing usernames guidelines.
Log in to your present account.
Leave a message on the talk page of the target account (preferably of the form {{subst:usurpation requested}} ~~~~) notifying the user of your request.

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 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.
- (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.

{{subst:usurp|Name_To_Usurp|Current_Name}} ~~~~

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".

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.

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. Bureaucrats, see Wikipedia:Bureaucrats for instructions for processing these requests.

Previously rejected as not confirmed. The editor has confirmed the request. I have moved it back to the appropriate time, which is the 16, as that is the day the tag was placed on the talk page of the requested account. The user only has 181 edits, so may not qualify for usurpation. I (talk) 20:26, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

May I have my username changed now? (Dec. 24...?)

Its been four months since I first posted a usurpation notice in the talk page for the user Micah (16 August 2007), I think its safe to say its an unused username now. Micah2 (talk) 16:37, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
