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,
- go to Special:ListUsers and copy the actual user name
- go to Special:Userrights and paste the name there
The following does not work in the current version of the wiki... Tina is looking into solution Ttenbergen 20:04, 2015 July 15 (CDT) Template:Discussion
- click edit user groups
- select any entries on "left" side under the "Member of" column (click on all items listed by holding the ctrl-button to select each one. )
- click "save user groups"
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.
