Due to the fact that Wikipedia content is licensed under the [[GFDL]], all edits must be kept for attribution purposes, and so your account cannot be deleted. You do, however, have the [[m:Right to vanish|right to vanish]], which you can exercise by (1) requesting your [[Wikipedia:User page|user page]] (found at [[Special:Mypage]]) and/or user talk page (found at [[Special:Mytalk]]) 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:Vanish --><noinclude> |

== Usage == |
|||
* You '''must''' [[Wikipedia:Template substitution|subst]] this template by typing '''<code><nowiki>{{subst:Vanish|user}}</nowiki></code>''' instead of '''<code><nowiki>{{Vanish|user}}</nowiki></code>'''. |
|||
* The resulting text includes no indents, so do not forget to insert a colon (''':''') before transcluding the template: '''<code><nowiki>:{{subst:Vanish}}</nowiki></code>''' and not just '''<code><nowiki>{{subst:Vanish}}</nowiki></code>'''. |
|||
* The resulting text also does not include a signature, so sign your message as normal using four tildes. |
