Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations/Archive 1

 This page permits users to request, and bureaucrats to consider and carry out, the "usurpation" of existing user accounts. If you are interested in usurping another account, please be advised that the account must have no edits or log entries (except in the username creation log) to qualify for usurpation.

Process
Please follow these instructions carefully to ensure that the process runs efficiently. Malformed requests may be rejected.
 * Be sure the account you wish to usurp has no edits or log entries, as described above.
 * Leave a message on the talk page of the target account (preferably of the form ) 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.
 * Copy and paste the following text into the bottom of the section on this page for today's date.
 * Name_To_Usurp ~
 * Replace "Name_To_Usurp" with the username you wish to usurp, and "Current_Name" with your current username. Be sure you are logged in under your current username. Save the page.


 * If the owner of the target account does not object within thirty 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.

Several clerks help to manage this process.

Requests
Please place your request in the section for the current day, at the bottom of the list.

Instructions to bureaucrats

 * Accounts should be renamed to "Username (usurped)" -- this is intuitive and is unlikely ever to be a desired account name. The links labeled '1' and '2' will automatically fill out the user renaming interface with the proper information.
 * If a user consents to have his account usurped, the request may be fulfilled immediately, rather than after the full waiting period.
 * Mark completed requests with done and rejected requests with not done. A bot will archive them.
