Template:FAMEPedia:Changing username/Usurpations/Front matter/Instructions


 * Log in to your present account.
 * Please do not leave a talk page message or e-mail the target account yourself. If this becomes necessary, a user familiar with the usurpation process will do so.
 *  Click here to place your request. 
 * Replace "" with the username you wish to usurp.
 * Replace "" with a description of why you want to usurp the account.
 * Leave the "Subject/headline" field blank.
 * If the button below does not work, simply copy the following text, click "edit this page" and paste it at the bottom of the page. Modify it as indicated.
 * TARGET NAME


 * For requests involving renaming an account other than your logged in account, use this:
 * CURRENT NAME
 * For usurp only requests, which leaves your logged in account untouched, set the usurponly parameter to yes:
 * TARGET NAME
 * To add an optional non default signature, use the sig parameter:
 * TARGET NAME


 * Preview the changes and make sure both names are spelled correctly. Click "".
 * Your request is now complete and ready to be processed after the hold period (usually about a week). If the owner of the target account does not object, a global renamer will fulfill your request provided other requirements are met. Do not be surprised when you find yourself unable to log in to your old account.
