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.|antispoof=The requested username is [[Wikipedia:AntiSpoof|too similar]] to an existing username, or is the former username of another user{{#if:{{{2|}}}| (see [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:CentralAuth&target={{urlencode:{{{2}}}}} Special:CentralAuth])}}. 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.|block|blocked=You appear to be blocked {{#if:{{{2|}}}|{{{2}}}|on one or more Wikimedia projects}}. Please resolve all active blocks before requesting a username change.|characters=The requested username contains characters that cannot be used in usernames. See {{section link|Wikipedia:Naming conventions (technical restrictions)|Restrictions on usernames}}.|inappropriate|inaprop=This username may classify as an inappropriate username under [[Wikipedia:Username policy|the username policy]]{{#if:{{{2|}}}| {{{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.|past|pastrenames=You appear to have already been renamed within the past six months.

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]].

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.|CHUS|chus|simple=As target username does not exist, there is nothing to usurp. {{#ifeq:{{{crat|}}}|yes|F|May be f}}ulfilled as "[[Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple|simple]]" request.|conflict|sulc=It appears that a user on another Wikimedia project {{#if:{{{2|}}}|({{{2}}})}} holds the claim to the SUL for this name. Please see [[Wikipedia:Changing_username/Guidelines#Handling_SUL_conflicts|Wikipedia:Handling SUL conflicts]] for more information on this topic.|est|established=In order to ensure that usurped usernames be put to good use, we prefer only to grant requests from reasonably well-established users.
