Please delete agoff.wikinet.org and zoomba.wikinet.org, and my accounts with wikkii and wikinet. Thanks for the test drive!

Accounts cannot be deleted.

OK, but the wikis can be removed, right? I've noticed lately that I have various neglected experiments (blogs/wikis/etc) showing up in google search, and I'm trying to clean up after myself. Thanks again!

Yes, it is possible to remove wikis. It might even possible to delete user accounts, but since that can't be done using the regular interface, even for administrators, you would have to be very good at technology to be able to do that. The closest you can get to account deletion using the regular interface is Oversight, which hides your account's username from any edits or log entries it made, but Gunggo (the owner of Wikkii) will only do this if you have a good reason. Thanks for listening.

No, even if you know how to delete users, YOU SHOULD NOT DO IT.  Deleting users from the database will f**k up you wiki, even if nothing bad happens right away.  Extensions promising to delete them safely should not be trusted.
