MediaWiki:Globalvanishrequest-pretext
Courtesy vanishing is a last resort and should only be used when you wish to stop editing forever and also to hide as many of your past associations as possible. This is done by changing your account name to make it less likely for others to recognize your contributions. Vanishing does not guarantee complete anonymity or remove contributions to the projects.
Vanishing is not a way to start over with a fresh account. When you request a courtesy vanishing, it is understood that you will not be returning. If you want to start over, please follow the directions at Clean start instead of (not in addition to) using this form. If you make a request to vanish, and then start over with a new account, and are then discovered, the vanishing procedure may be reversed, and your old and new accounts may be linked.
To proceed with initiating the vanishing process, please complete the form below.
