User Merge and Delete extension allows wiki users with the usermerge permission (Bureaucrat by default) to merge one Wiki user's account with another Wiki user's account.
Contents |
The extension allows to
- merge (refer contributions, texts, watchlists) of a first account A to a second account B
- delete the first account A after the merge (option box)
Limitations
- you cannot delete a user A without having merged the user A to B
- you cannot merge your own account (logged-in user)
Extras
- if you omit the "New User" field, then the extension auto-populates the New User as "Anonymous" (user_id 0), and ask you to confirm a merge to Anonymous. This is used for user deletion: you first empty (merge to user 0) contributions of a user A, and then delete the user A.
- the extension creates a User Merge log and logs all User Merge extension activity.[1]
[edit] Installation
Note: $IP stands for the root directory of your MediaWiki installation, the same directory that holds LocalSettings.php.
- Download and extract the extension to your extensions folder
- Add the following code to your LocalSettings.php (at the bottom)
require_once( "$IP/extensions/UserMerge/UserMerge.php" ); $wgGroupPermissions['bureaucrat']['usermerge'] = true; # optional - default is array( 'sysop' ) $wgUserMergeProtectedGroups = array( 'groupname' );
Note: The change to group-based merge protection ($wgUserMergeProtectedGroups) in v1.5, r30872.
Note: The addition of the 'usermerge' permission in 1.2 - this must be explicitly granted as shown above.
[edit] Usage
- follow Installation Instructions
- a new Special Page Special:UserMerge with the title Merge and Delete Users is created
- unmergeable users can be defined (examples):
# Allow all users to be merged (by default, the 'sysop' group is unmergeable) $wgUserMergeProtectedGroups = array(); # Disallow merging of the users in the 'sysop' or 'awesomeusers' groups # N.B. check the distributed "install.settings" for the correct array name $wgUserMergeUnmergeable = array( 'sysop', 'awesomeusers' );
