- Requests to "usurp" an existing username should be made at Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations; straightforward requests may use Special:GlobalRenameRequest.
This page is a forum in which users can request, and global renamers (including stewards) can consider and carry out, requests to rename accounts to usernames that are not yet taken on any Wikimedia project.
While global renamers carry out renames, other users (including bots) help by "clerking" the mechanics of this process. If you wish to help as a clerk, please read the linked page carefully.
Once you have decided on the name you would like:
- Read this page first. You must be aware of, and understand, all of that information before requesting a username change
- Check to make sure this username is not already in use. Do this by searching for the name here. If the name appears in the results, even if on another Wikimedia project, it is taken.
- Do not create an account under the new name or move/redirect your userpages. We'll do that for you.
- Log in with your present username in order to place your request. Renames will not be approved if the requester is not logged in.
-
- Add your desired username after
NEW=
- Add a reason for the change after
REASON=
- Do not add anything in the "subject/headline" box
- Add your desired username after
- Make sure that you have spelled both names correctly, including capitalization and spacing. Save the page.
- Users with many edits should log out of their accounts to ensure the rename is carried out properly.
- Check back on this page periodically to answer any questions that may arise regarding your request. Please be patient. It may take a few days for your request to be completed. If you do not answer any questions, your request may be declined due to no response.

- @Dylan Hale Lewis: Are you saying that this account has "switched hands", meaning that it initially belonged to one person and then was given to someone else? Please note that accounts should belong to one person, and one person only; if you are a different person than the one who initially created this account, please create an account for yourself instead in order to avoid confusion. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 03:05, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
