We were talking about something completely unrelated. Unless MediaWiki supports user deletion and merging, this should not be in core. The hooks should go in the extension that provides the functionality.
Hi Ryan,
then I understood you, let's say, partially. Your last sentence clarifies the situation in that you indirectly confirm, that the introduction of the two hooks DeleteAccount and MergeAccountFromTo (in UserMerge and in OpenID extensions) is -currently- the correct and only way.
Questions, because I could not learn this from the Core documentation, hook related pages:
- Are the hook names I introduced, and the coding of the hooks in conformity to your MW coding standards? - Should these (non-core) extensions' hooks get also dedicated description pages on MW?
When you visit the Extension:UserMerge and Extension:OpenID pages you will find two Categorie links in red. I am unsure to create these pages, because the hooks are not in core but in the extensions. Perhaps someone can write about this (it's a style and coding standards' issue, I think) on MW?
Thanks for assisting me so far.

P.S. is there anyone already using the current OpenID extension, I need your feedback. If you find problems, I appreciate to file a bug under http://preview.tinyurl.com/openid-filebug = https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?component=OpenID as I now strictly use this system.
