Install the "User Merge and Delete" Extension and the Oversight Extension
Alright, so I was browsing mediawiki.org (I love brushing up on wiki syntax :D), and I came across this extension here. The User Merge and Delete extension. Why do I think this would benefit the wiki? Well, I've noticed in the logs users creating usernames with inappropriate words in it which are obviously sockpuppets and crats needed to change them to unused123, or something like that. Wouldn't it just be easier to delete them? Also, one time there was a situation where a user sockpuppetted and Son of Suns and to block all accounts except the original one. That must have been very tedious. It would have been easier to merge them all. Or if a user lost his/her password, and did not specify a email confirmation, a crat could just easily merge the account. I am also proposing we install the oversight extension, an exntension on Userpedia that can hide revisions of users for personal or legal reasons. Deadline: March 14, 2008, 20:00 EDT Proposer:
