This is the Renameuser template.

This template is used at WP:CHU.

Substituting this template transcludes {{Renameuser2}} in order to keep the formatting consistent and the visible code to a minimum.

Usage

Usage for these templates is as follows.

For rename requests, use this:

{{subst:Renameuser|CURRENT NAME|TARGET NAME}}

For usurpation requests, use this:

{{subst:Usurp|CURRENT NAME|TARGET NAME}}

For SUL requests, which leaves your logged in account untouched, use this:

{{subst:SUL|TARGET NAME}}

To add a reason (compulsory for rename requests), use the reason parameter:

{{subst:(template)|TARGET NAME|reason=YOUR REASON}}

To add a confirmation link (compulsory for SUL requests), use the link parameter with a bare url without the squared brackets:

{{subst:(template)|TARGET NAME|link=CONFIRMATION LINK}}

To add an optional non default signature, use the sig parameter:

{{subst:(template)|TARGET NAME|sig=OPTIONAL SIGNATURE}}

Where (template) can represent: {{Renameuser}}, {{Usurp}} or {{SUL}}.
