Extension:UserMerge

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 - deleting following merge is also supported. You may not delete a user without merging first - omitting the "New User" field will auto-populate the New User as "Anonymous", user_id 0 and ask you to confirm merge to Anonymous.
