System-users.svg This account was formerly used by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]]. It is not a sock puppet, but is an account to which the password has been lost, or which the user has abandoned.
The user who legitimately owns this account has created a new account as [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]].

Template:FormerAccount is to be placed on user pages of disused accounts to alert editors of a new username and to prevent wrongful sockpuppetry allegations.

Placed on the userpage and/or user talkpage of the old account, usage is as follows:

{{Former account|<new account name>}}

Accounts could, for example, be disused due to loss of password when no email address (or an incorrect email address) has been set.
