This is a documentation page.

It holds the instructions on how to use the rename templates.

It contains the documentation for all the templates that are used at META:CHU.

Usage[edit]

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}}.
