The worst part is that you can't delete your account

Every other social media site allows account deletion, but not Wikipedia.

Actually they can, they just pretend that they can't.

Hello,

And how do you actually remove it?

Hello,

And how do you actually remove it?

Two ways:
1) using the steward action hideuser and globally locking the account effectively deletes an account, but they only do this when they don't like your username.
2) using the UserMerge extension and merging the account into an account shared by all deleted users. Unfortunately they don't use this extension.

It's part of the addiction cycle, you think you've left, but you'll eventually come back. And there's nothing you can do about it. (well other than dns blocking)
