This will have removed the user's rights. If you want to check that the user's rights have been deleted, go through the same steps as above; if there is nothing list under '''"Member of",''' which is the "'''left'''" side of column, the user has been disabled.

This page explains how to disable an account on this wiki. See Setting up a new wiki user for setting up an account.

Because the account is used to track changes in the history of any article edited by a user, a user can not be deleted. However, a user's rights can be suspended.

To suspend rights for a user,

  1. go to Special:ListUsers and copy the actual user name
  2. go to Special:Userrights and paste the name there
  3. click edit user groups
  4. uncheck the checkbox for "CCMDB_legit" and click the "save user groups" button
