I created an account for one of the wikis hosted here. I put the skin "gamepress", then wanted to change back into "vector". I went in preferences, clickedappearence but link didn't work. I tried everything, then I had the idea to delete my account and create a new one. I clicked Delete Account button, tells me something went wrong. When I try to log in, it says "password incorrect" even though i type my correct password. When I try to create a new account it tells me "Username is already taken". So i don't really know what to do :/ Please help me --88.168.124.228 19:12, 29 March 2018 (UTC) (Tomi_Crosoft)

It's not possible to delete accounts in MediaWiki, at least not with standard tools. On what wiki do you think you "deleted" your account? As of just now, User:Tomi Crosoft registered yesterday and has one edit across the entire ShoutWiki farm. --Saftzie (talk) 18:28, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
It is that one. Also "Delete" option was on WolvHaven Wiki (s:w:wolvhaven —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.168.124.228 (talkcontribs) 20:57, 30 March 2018‎ (UTC). Please sign your posts with --~~~~!
The best thing I can figure is that you "closed" (i.e., permanently disabled) your account. Your account still exists, since accounts can't be deleted. If you did disable your account, there's no way (well, no easy way) to get control of it back. You would need to create another account. --Saftzie (talk) 00:18, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
