I would think keeping their watchlist intact may be useful should they ever return. I would either disable mail entirely for those users or disable watchlist notifs. I don't know how offhand; maybe you'd have to use eval.php or maybe there's an existing maint script. Hopefully someone else will chime in. -Jeremy _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
