Thread:Project:Support desk/Deleting departed users' watchlists

We have a number of wikis in our School where we want to keep track of which pages are unwatched but this is undermined when users leave. I'm not sure what is the best way round this. It seems that users can't be safely deleted using Extension:DeleteUser or edited using Extension:EditUser.

I guess Extension:Merge and Delete could merge the user with a known user whose login details are known. I also wonder if Extension:Password Reset would give access to the departed user's watchlist. I also wonder if the Watchlist table could just have a SQL DELETE statement run against it.

Yes, they guy who set up our wikis has left and I've been left with trying to figure this out. --Dmontford 15:14, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
