User Merge and Delete extension allows Wiki users with the 'userrights' permission (Bureaucrat by default) to merge one Wiki user's account with another Wiki user's account - deleting following merge is also supported. You may not delete a user without merging first - omitting the "New User" field will auto-populate the New User as User ID 1 (Usually WikiSysop) and ask you to confirm merge to Admin. Merging to Anonymous (ID0) is not supported.

    wiki-install-folder/extensions/UserMerge

<syntax lang="php"> require_once( "$IP/extensions/UserMerge/UserMerge.php" ); </syntax>
