:''This page is for requests to '''''usurp''''' accounts that already exist in the circumstances described below. If you wish to request a rename to a username that is not already taken, please do so at'' ].
<div id="CHU_header">
This page permits users to request, and ] 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 are interested in usurping another username, please be advised that the account must have '''no edits or log entries''' (except in the username creation log) to qualify for usurpation. A request may also be rejected if it is determined that the requested account has made edits that were subsequently deleted.

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.
]
]

== 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 <tt><nowiki>{{subst:usurpation requested}} ~~~~</nowiki></tt>) 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.
:<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 if you wish. Be sure you are logged in under your current username. Save the page.
* 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 ] with the mechanics of this process. If you wish to assist as well, please read the linked page carefully.

== 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 &#123;<!-- Anti-bot test -->&#123;]<!-- -->&#125;&#125; and rejected requests with &#123;&#123;<!-- -->]&#125;<!-- Anti-bot test -->&#125;. A bot will archive them.

== Current requests ==

:::I think I'm going to stick with my original name. People recognize me by this name, and by some tests I've conducted off wiki, I would rather not have to tell everyone what my new name is, plus if I did a re-name here, I would also have to do it on meta and about 60 other wikis. Not really within the realm of possibility. :(

Now that I'm an admin I would rather if my username was a little less directly connected to my real name. Using my initials seems like a good compromise. I understand that the rename is logged, and have no plans to change old signatures or anything like that - I just think the new name would be less conspicuous.

# The contributions page lists no edits, the block log is empty, but the log has a few uploads of deleted images. I don't mind if they end up in my logs. I don't think there is a copyright issue since the images are redlinks.

It was clearly a mistake to use my email address as my username, because I get a daily flooding of spam from using it. Also, because I have been using the handle "Voltaire", I feel particularity attached to the name. Even through the user has an edit count of 3, all 3 cases have been minor contributions to userpages in February of 2005. Thanks for your time!!!
