Complex renames, | Complex renames, i.e changes to an in-use username cannot be requested at [[Special:GlobalRenameRequest]]. For that reason, we ask that you request complex renames on the talk page of this page ([[Talk:Renaming policy]]).

After a 14 day waiting period after notifying the user you wish to usurp, the rename will be completed. | ||
