This page is a forum in which users can request, and bureaucrats can consider and carry out, the "usurpation" of usernames. This consists of renaming an existing account in order to vacate the username and allow another user to take it.

If you wish to request usurpation, please read and follow the instructions below. The account you want to usurp should have no edits or significant log entries on any Wikimedia Project 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.

SUL notice:

• If you are requesting usurpation in order to unify your global account, you are in the wrong place. Your request should go to Wikipedia:Changing username/SUL.
• If you made a request on this page and it has disappeared, we have probably moved it to Wikipedia:Changing username/SUL.

[edit] Instructions

• Log in to your present account.
• Leave a message on the talk page of the target account (this template will do the trick: {{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 clerk will do so.

• Click here to place your request.
  • Replace "CURRENT_NAME" with your current username.
  • Replace "REQUESTED_NAME" with the username you wish to usurp.
  • You should include some reason for the change beneath the template if you wish. Leave the "Subject/headline" field blank.

If that doesn't work, simply copy the following text to your computer's 'clipboard':

 {{subst:usurp|CURRENT_NAME|REQUESTED_NAME}} 

Click "edit this page", find the section for today's date, and copy the following text and paste it at the bottom of that section. Modify it as indicated above.

• Make sure both names are spelled correctly. 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 provided other requirements are met. Where a request is to unify global login, the seven day waiting period is waived and requests will be performed once reviewed by a bureaucrat. Mark the date, so you will 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.

[edit] 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.
• Note well that the day of renaming depends on the day of notification. If you place your request on the 1st, but only notify the target on the 3rd, your request will be filled on the 11th, not the 8th. Requests may be subject to section movement based on this principle. For the sake of simplicity and swiftness of usurpation, be smart and notify your target immediately after placing a request.

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.

WRNstaff (talk) 12:33, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

I am new to Wikipedia and wanted to create an article about the project I work on. I created a username that was generic to the project WRNstaff but was approached by User:Fribbulus Xax who expressed concern that my username represented a group and that went against Wikipedia policy. I went to the Wikipedia:Changing username page and the instructions said that if I had only made a few edits to just create a new username. I did this and created Repositoryhp. However I then worried that I would loose the article I'd created Welsh Repository Network. I approached User:Fribbulus Xax with my query and he said it would be preferable to submit a change of username request. However, from reading further on the page this is not possible as I've already created the new username Repositoryhp. Hence, why I am submitting a username usurption request. User:Fribbulus Xax seemed to think I had more than a valid reason to request this, and that a bureaucrat would be happy to help provided I stated the reasoning clearly.Thanks.--WRNstaff (talk) 12:33, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Clerk note: User "Reposioryhp" is not registered. Please see WP:CHU instead. ClueBot VI (talk) 12:38, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, ClueBot, but the user misspelt their target username. It has been fixed. Can you please come back here, ClueBot? — This, that, and the other [talk] 09:36, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

I understand it was a misspelling; but I'd like the requesting user to come and change it rather than a clerk doing it. And no, as ClueBot is a bot; it won't run the test again. Pmlineditor ∞ 09:41, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

I don't mean to be argumentative, but ClueBot's post includes a comment, whose text implies deletion of the comment will cause it to run its test again - I deleted that comment, so I would expect ClueBot to come back. My polite "request" to it was sarcastic. — This, that, and the other [talk] 09:48, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

I mistakenly created and used the ReedBunting username. I have been informed that since the name is a company name, I must change the username. I have already created a username "kshirnia". Please "ReedBunting" with "kshirnia".

Many thanks.

Note:

Clerk note: Since you created your target username, couldn't you just stop using your current username and start using that one? You have only one edit (excluding this one) on your current username, and usurping creates a slight but avoidable server strain. Intelligentsium 02:02, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

RadicalTwo (talk) 02:24, 12 November 2009 (UTC) The original "RadicalOne" account appears to be completely inactive - only four edits ever, and the most recent was in late 2006 - and it is occupying my original intended username without actually using it.

At that time, I couldn't get a rename on SimpleWP, since I was a bit confused, having little knowledge about SUL. Furthermore, I experienced difficulties in using automated tools such as Huggle and AWB. Since I'm quite sure that I will not experience such problems again, I want my account renamed. It has already been renamed on all wikis where I have requested except on en; so it'll be helpful if this is done. Pmlineditor ∞ 15:21, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
