[Mediawiki-l] Deleting a user account

[Swoop]

I am rolling out MediaWiki on my intranet. Some users have created more than one account for themselves.  I dont know why they did this.  I would like to remove the redundant user accounts.
   
  
      ----
It leaves edits with no editing user. Among other things; why do you  
need to remove it, 'swoop'?
