:::I never liked the name, but it matches the upstream process and complies with some regulatory stuff. Realistically, this is a more of an "account deactivation" process. — [[User:Xaosflux|xaosflux]] [[User talk:Xaosflux|Talk]] 09:36, 20 April 2026 (UTC) |

:::: Sure. What are your thoughts on us copyediting the information page to no longer sort-of pretending there is any "vanishing" going on, [[User:Xaosflux]]? [[User:CapnZapp|CapnZapp]] ([[User talk:CapnZapp|talk]]) 10:16, 20 April 2026 (UTC) |

:::::Ideally I think this page shouldn't fully duplicate [[:meta:Account_vanishing]] and that the primary information should be there. This page should include anything local, include perhaps a history of the local process. This page should include information on any related local processes such as: how to go about requesting enwiki page deletions, what sort of things enwiki oversight may do beyond the global and how to request that. WMF currently thinks that the global process complies with many [[Right to be forgotten|"Right to be forgotten"]] regulations aroudnd the globe, especially ones needed for inclusion in major appstores (Apple, Google). This process is the only way someone can effectively "close" or "delete" their account. |

:::::I think the biggest component that may need some discussion is: If an editor in good standing "vanishes" and then subsequently creates a new account. That process is allowed globally, and realistically I don't think we here at enwiki should try to forbid it - as there no longer is a workflow to "reclaim" your OLD account. — [[User:Xaosflux|xaosflux]] [[User talk:Xaosflux|Talk]] 13:09, 20 April 2026 (UTC) |
