Description Jackmcbarn 2014-09-09 00:34:24 UTC 
To merge a user to userid 0, you must specify "Anonymous" as the merge target. However, this is a valid username for users to register, so if a wiki really does have a user named Anonymous, it's impossible to merge any other user into that user. The dummy merge target for userid 0 should be changed to something that's not a valid username.
