- Remove the user row from user table. Now MediaWiki will treat the account as unregistered
- Change the actor_name to something like "Deleted user #123123" so histories and logs now shows the anonymized name, and (optionally?) actor_user to null
- Some table (e.g. user_groups, user_properties) now contains rows that make no sense, and can simply be removed
- Now the user is deleted for good
For non-Wikimedia wiki, this provides a simple way to remove e.g. (1) spam/vandalism only account and (2) account closed on GDPR request.
Does some extensions assumes the existence of a user_id? Check and fix them

So was flagged revs giving some users rights to mass revert back to a previous rev? I still don't think I get it lol. Apparently the German wikipedia uses proposed edits unilaterally for new editors, so you might be able to copy that and put it behind a checkbox? The edit history shenanigans may be more technically complex

Hi, one of the things that inflame edit wars is the binary between published and unpublished. If someone makes an edit that they feel corrects a grave injustice and it is published, they have achieved their goal. If someone reverts that and makes it unpublished, they would receive it as regression and likely respond angrily. Encouraging the use of proposed edits for controversial edits means that that editor has to work with the reverter in order to achieve their goal of getting the edit published, and the process is one constant progression.

Quick update on this: undoing edit batches on Wikidata via the current EditGroups has been broken for about two months now and the few hours I have spent trying to fix it have not been sufficient so far.

On WMF wikis at least, each project with oversighters decides how they want to intake such requests to their workflow - it is certainly not consistent, by choice. Would this replace all of the other systems with some sort of of-wiki workflow (akin to perhaps the globalrenamequeue)?

Thanks. I'll have to check how it's configured on my wiki.

No the search engine searches are listed separately, the Site Search Keywords report "lists the Search Keywords that visitors searched for on your internal Search Engine". On my Matomo instance it definitely shows searches that have been done via the wiki's search box.

@Samwilson those are search engine searches, not searches done on wiki.

The Matomo extension works with site search and shows what keywords have been searched for. It requires a separate installation of Matomo, but that has other benefits anyway.
