- New Username: Wooze (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Wooze account not edited any Wikimedia project since 2013. Home wiki is English Wikipedia but the account's edit count is 0. I like Wooze more than WoozeTR, so I want to start the usurpation process. Kind regards,
- @WoozeTR Since "Wooze" it's only registered in enwiki, so you can submit the same request on this page. The waiting time for usurpation is seven days on enwiki, while here on metawiki it's one month. If you want to proceed here, let me know. Best regards. Eta Carinae (talk) 14:03, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
- Eta Carinae I informed enwiki. You can close this request. Thanks :) WoozeTR (talk) 15:06, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

- Not done. Once Shiri has valid edits, is not possible to usurp it's username. Please, choose another one. --Eta Carinae (talk) 14:54, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
Against the current

- New Username: Kansan (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I was an admin on Simple years ago. I changed my username on English only some years ago. I am returning to editing. I find myself confused by the two different names, and even accidentally made an edit under the wrong name on English. I'd just like one username for all projects, which would be Kansan.

- @Against the current and Kansan: Please note that account merging is technically impossible at the moment. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 06:35, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

Hello @Against the current:, as mentioned above that "merging is technically impossible", but we can replace:

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I want to have this account deleted so I can recreate it, and use it to make edits on Wikidata. I have been editing OpenStreetMap for several years as chriswhy. This account was created on zh.wikipedia.org, which I never use, a few months after I joined OpenStreetMap and it's made no edits. I am on Twitter as chriswhy, and it's also my address at protonmail.

- Account deletion isn't possible. If you have any Wikimedia account please login and request here to usurp this account. If you have not any account yet, please create an account and apply for usurpation after contributing for a few days.—Yahya (talk • contribs.) 18:08, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
Not done Sorry, but you have to meet some requirements to be able to usurp a username, such as having a registered user for some time with several valid (and non-disruptive) contributions. You need to be an established users and a few days/months are definitely not enough, it isn't allowed to a new user (or yet to be registered) to usurp an existing account, unless it's a valid sock of a trusted user.

- New Username: DerFuchs (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user

CentreLeftRight
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: CentreLeftRight (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Yue (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Recently the editor of a fringe online news site made a public claim about my account on Twitter after claiming to reveal another editor's identity. I have, as a result, received an influx of harassment and threats to dox me to my email and on offsite forums. For this reason, I am hoping to have my username changed to discourage my future detractors as, while the most committed will still be able to determine my new name, many will not put in such effort. I also wish to do this for privacy concerns as I want to disconnect my account from public libel against me using my current username. I am requesting an usurp of the name Yue, which has two accounts globally on the Chinese and Turkish Wikipedias, but has no significant edits to either. The only edits ever made by the account are eight edits to the Chinese Wikipedia, all made in 2006. CentreLeftRight ✉ 21:44, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
- On hold until 30 May 2022. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 03:57, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- In the event that my username change is approved, is it possible to also request that afterwards my user pages in all Wikipedias aside from the English Wikipedia and meta-wiki be deleted? CentreLeftRight ✉ 21:48, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

Owlf
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)

- New Username: DIVINE (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I always wanted to have a meaningful username and the Owlf has not any meaning and i found that "DIVINE" has been created 16 years before but hasn't done any single edit and i wanted to have this username as it has many meanings and sounds peaceful. A perfect username for me i think. So, i humbly request you to provide me this username. Regards, Owlf (talk) 16:06, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @Owlf:, I inform you that you can submit the request also on this page on enwiki. Here on meta-wiki the waiting time for usurpation is one months, while it's seven days on enwiki.
