Template:HD/vanish: Difference between revisions

Because Wikipedia content is licensed under the [[GFDL]] and the [[WP:CC-BY-SA|CC-BY-SA]], all edits must be kept for attribution purposes, and so your account cannot be deleted. You do, however, have the [[Wikipedia:Right to vanish|right to vanish]], which you can exercise by (1) requesting your [[Wikipedia:User page|user page]] (found at [[Special:Mypage]]) and [[Wikipedia:Subpages|subpages]] be deleted, by adding the {{[[Template:Db-userreq|db-userreq]]}} template to them; (2) requesting to [[Wikipedia:Changing username|change your username]] to something that is unconnected with you (possibly a random collection of letters and numbers); (3) never logging in to your account again. The "right to vanish" does not mean anyone has the right to a fresh start under a new identity. Anyone who wants to continue editing should request a change of username instead so edits can be reattributed.<!-- Template:HD/vanish--><noinclude>
