What is Wikipedia?
Wikipedia is a free-to-use online encyclopedia that is grown and maintained by its community.
So you know what Wikipedia is, but how do you delete a Wikipedia account? Rather than just deleting your account, you’ll have to individually delete your contributions and user data by notifying the Wikipedia administrators
How To Delete A Wikipedia Account:
- Sign In to Wikipedia
- Go to your user page
- Insert ‘{{db-u1}}’ to the top of each user page. This will serve as a request to the admins to delete the pages.
- Send a rename request via an email to the bureaucrats and ask them to rename your Wikipedia account, citing ‘request for courtesy vanishing’ as the reason.
Things To Note
- Your account cannot be completely deleted as Wikipedia does not allow for it due to restrictions on the MediaWiki software.
Now that you know how to permanently delete a LinkedIn account, you might also realize the complications that may arise when deleting the account of a deceased person. The major one is not having access to the account holder’s login information. By making use of a Digital Estate Plan, you get to decide what happens to each of your Digital Assets following your death or incapacitation.
