How do you actually delete users

4

I have tried and tried using:

`%login%, AAHWayne00562260`

or

`AAHWayne00562260`

But both result in the same error as seen in the error

My problem is that I have some 27k fake user accounts, so I opted for the comma seperated, this doens't appear to work.

So how can I delete all 27k banned users?

You can test, and, confirm, the best is Cleanmediawiki ut, it's not a officiel repo. Why ? I don't know.

I have test UserMerge and work fine with mediawiki 1.32.0

I can only delete one user at a time, return to the merge form to delete a second user, return to the form, and so on ...

It's a good tool, but slow, if you have multiple users to delete.
