-->|accounttaken|taken|occupied=The requested username is already registered; see <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:CentralAuth|target={{urlencode:{{{2}}}}}}} Special:CentralAuth]</span>. Please choose another name which is not already in use.<!--

However, as this requested account has made no edits, it meets the criteria for being usurped; if you are an established user and wish to usurp it, please read and follow the process at [[m:Steward requests/Username changes]]. If you do ''not'' wish to usurp the username, please choose another name to be renamed to.<!--

Please pick a different username.<!-- 
-->|autocap|cap=The MediaWiki software automatically capitalizes the first letter of all usernames, so it is not possible to have a username that starts with a lowercase letter. However, you may use the template {{tl|lowercase title}} on your user and user talk pages, and change your [[Wikipedia:Signatures|signature]] to reflect your preference.<!--
-->|blank|empty|noname|norequest|missing|malformed=This request appears to be blank, missing syntax or otherwise malformed. Please remedy this according to the instructions at the top of the page.<!--

-->|inappropriate|inaprop=This username may classify as an inappropriate username under [[Wikipedia:Username policy|the username policy]]{{#if:{{{2|}}}|&nbsp;{{{2}}}}}. Please choose another name.<!--
-->|lowercase|lcase=The requested username is the same as your current name, aside from the first letter being in lowercase. Due to technical limitations, usernames must start with an uppercase letter. However, you may use the template {{tl|lowercase title}} on your user and user talk pages, and change your [[Wikipedia:Signatures|signature]] to reflect your preference.<!--
-->|multiple|multiplerequests=You already have another open rename request. Please pick only one username to be renamed to, and only file one rename request at a time.<!--
-->|noreason|reason=Please provide a reason for renaming.<!--

-->|rtv|vanish=Is this is a [[:meta:Right to Vanish|request for courtesy vanishing]]—meaning you intend never to edit the English Wikipedia again—or are you just wanting to abandon this account? Please note that returning after exercising courtesy vanishing may be met with automatic relinking of the new account with the old one. If you are just interested in retiring, an extended vacation, or are considering a [[Wikipedia:Clean start|clean start]] in the future, placing {{tl|retired}} on your user and/or talk page(s) and abandoning the account is the better option. If you are looking to vanish, please submit your request to [[Special:GlobalVanishRequest]].<!--
-->|talk|t|talkpage=Left a note on the user's talk page.<!-- 
-->|temp|tempaccount|temporaryaccount=It appears that you are using a [[Wikipedia:Temporary accounts|temporary account]]. Temporary accounts cannot be renamed, but you can deactivate them by [[Special:UserLogout|ending your session]], after which a new one will be created when you edit. They will also automatically be deactivated 90 days after creation.<!-- 
-->|underscore|uscore=The requested username is the same as your current name, but with underscores where your current name has spaces. These are considered identical by the MediaWiki software.<!--

-->|record=As your request appears to be related to a desire for anonymity/privacy, please note that a permanent log record will be created noting your previous name. As such, you might consider simply [[special:CreateAccount|creating a new account]] and having your current account renamed to something random and abandoning it. Please advise.<!--
