Line 19: == How a request to vanish may be fulfilled == * ''Usernames'' -– Usernames cannot normally be deleted, but can sometimes be changed. Even if this is done, it may still be possible to link your new and old names with a minimal degree of work. * ''Work on the project'' -– Your work, including "signatures" (text indicating your authorship of comments) on all but your own user and talk pages, will usually '''not''' be changed or removed. To change these would be a major source of disruption. Individual revisions of individual pages that contain personally identifying information may be [[Special:MyLanguage/oversight\|oversight]]ed instead. * User pages, and their subpages, and other non-article pages that no others have substantively contributed to and whose existence does not impact the project, may be courtesy blanked or deleted. User talk pages are rarely deleted. * ''Logs'' -– Administrative and editorial logs showing matters you have been involved with, during your career as an editor, such as your edit history on other pages, will usually remain accessible under your old name. * ''Related matters'' discussed in more detail below include: making a clean start, removal of personal information from public viewing, and other actions you can take. Line 57: If you wish to take advantage of right to vanish, you can use one of the following methods to make your request: * The '''best and fastest''' way is to visit [[Special:~~GlobalRenameRequest~~GlobalVanishRequest]] to access the ~~rename~~vanish request interface. Requests made this way will be processed by [[Special:MyLanguage/Global renamers\|global renamers]] or [[Special:MyLanguage/Stewards\|stewards]]~~. Please specify "request to vanish" in the reason field; your requested username should be of the form "Renamed user nnnnnnnnnn" replacing n with random characters~~. * You may contact the global renamers via e-mail and ask that your account be renamed, giving "request for courtesy vanishing" as the subject. Please log in then use the contact interface at [[Special:EmailUser/Wikimedia Global-renamers]] or email {{strong\|{{NonSpamEmail\|renamers\|wikimedia.org}}}}. If you send the mail directly, you must provide proof that the account is indeed yours. Notes:
