Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations
- 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 and follow the instructions below. The account you want to usurp should have no edits or log entries (except in the username creation log) to qualify for usurpation, although rare exceptions are made where old edits do not require attribution under the GFDL. 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.
If you have already unified your login, it is impossible to rename an existing account to that name, because of bug #13507. Unification is still possible once the old account is moved out of the way, but to merge edits from another username with your global account you will need to request that a steward deletes your global account first.

Notes
- When the rename has been completed, your account will have been renamed, and any contributions you have made (including deleted contributions) will be reattributed to your new account as a background process. Your account preferences, watchlist contents, password, etc. will all be preserved, and your user and user talk pages will have been moved to the new name.
- Note: The process responsible for reallocating old contributions is currently dependent upon the job queue mechanism. As such, you may find old contributions do not immediately appear under your new account; this is perfectly normal. Updates should take at most a day to complete, although the length of time will vary according to the size of the job queue on this wiki, and the status of the server processes which process this queue.
- The change will appear in the user rename log and the request will be moved to the archives in the interest of transparency. It is not possible to rename accounts without an entry being created in the log.
- This change will not affect signatures you have already left on talk pages, or other places where you signed your username with ~~~~. Those pages will continue to display your signature (including the link to your old username) unless edited manually.
- Be aware: Once you have been renamed, your old account will no longer exist and may potentially be recreated by a third party. This is true even if your old account pages have been redirected towards your new account. To guard against impersonation, you may wish to recreate the old account yourself.
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.

- Done: Skolan124 is now renamed to Xenus, but Xenus's global account has been deleted. Also, some of Xenus's edits are now attributed to User:Xenus (usurped again) because Xenus evidently created a new en.wiki account after the troll account was renamed. — Dan | talk 00:38, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

TGS is my username everywhere I go and has been since probably 1994 I register it everywhere I use it everywhere I didn't register this username that I know of, if I did I did it and completely forgot about it. Since TGS was taken I registered TeeGeeEss which I use if I can't use TGS in places, but alas forgot my password completely. I do not really want to keep BrianGilliford as thats my real name but its the only other thing I would remember logging in. I checked into the username and as far as I could tell it hasn't been used at all so I would like it as it is my internet identity.

I am user Jeroen on the Dutch Wikipedia, where I am a regular contributor and a sysadmin. I understand that Jeroenvrp can't be moved to Jeroen, because Jeroenvrp is already a global account with en: as the home wiki. So I only ask if it's possible to move the current user Jeroen, so I can take it, because I want to have as much Jeroen-accounts. Te original user has only made a few edits back in August 2003. Jeroenvrp (talk) 15:44, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
- Note:
- The target username has made edits to Wikipedia. Due to licensing concerns, this may be a barrier to usurpation.
- Although the edits were in 2003 and minor, they still probably require GFDL attribution, although I'm not certain. Also, if you already have a global unified login, you will have to ask a steward to delete the global account before any renaming can be carried out AFAIK. RichardΩ612 Ɣ ɸ 16:50, May 27, 2008 (UTC)
I am in the process for deletion of the Jeroenvrp-SUL-login. So please hold this request to further notice. --Jeroenvrp (talk) 17:08, 27 May 2008 (UTC)- OK, the Jeroenvrp-login has been deleted. So can you or someone else please take a look if it's possible to unsurp User:Jeroen and rename User:Jeroenvrp to User:Jeroen afterwards? Thanks in advance, --Jeroenvrp (talk) 17:17, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
- Done. I had to delete the global account first, so please recreate it as soon as possible. — Dan | talk 01:22, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
