Topic on Project:Support desk

I've never made a contribution to mediawiki.org other than to post here in the Support Desk, so I don't think deleting my account will have any of the "serious effects" that I've seen mentioned when I've searched for this issue.

How do I delete my account?

In a nutshell: One can't delete their account themselve. Of course there are extensions that allow merging accounts and there is always the possibility to delete the entries in SQL, but in general, it's preferred no to delete users: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:FAQ#.E2.80.A6is_it_a_good_idea_to_keep_user_accounts.3F

Even if you haven't contributed to MW.org itself, your post here in the Project Namespace already leads to database entries.

Thanks for the reply, CayceP. Are you saying that it's not possible to have my account on Mediawiki.org deleted?

I'm happy to have my account merged with some kind of Anonymous account, if that helps. I just don't want my details in the Mediawiki database.
