how can I delete a registered user? I tried using
Special:Listusers but I
can't see any option available. Do I have to delete the user over MySQL? I
have only access to PhpMyAdmin. How do I do that?
AFAIK, it's not possible to delete users without directly meddling
with the database, and it's discouraged, too - MediaWiki isn't built
to handle that.
In a public wiki, it may also raise questions of attribution for
contributions a user made, if any, although that'd probably also
depend on the license the wiki's using and the jurisdiction it's
covered by (those that recognise moral rights may require attribution
even when the license doesn't do so).
I think there's been discussions about this before, though, so looking
through the mailing list archives should hopefully turn up more.
