 Clerk note: Is this a request for courtesy vanishing—meaning you intend never to edit the English Wikipedia again—or are you just wanting to abandon this account? Please note that returning after exercising courtesy vanishing may be met with automatic relinking of the new account with the old one. If you are just interested in retiring, an extended vacation, or are considering a clean start in the future, placing {{ retired}} on your user and/or talk page(s) and abandoning the account is the better option. - FlightTime ( open channel) 22:00, 28 December 2023 (UTC) reply

I intend to discontinue the use of this account and transition to using Wikipedia solely as a reader without an account. My goal is to avoid a recurrence of the recent situation and its potential consequences. After reading the 'Right to Vanish' page and understanding the process for making a request, I want to clarify my specific intentions: I wish to abandon this account, remove information (particularly my username, as I haven't created a user profile page here as the editors and experienced users have), due to its association with my real name and its potential consequences.

To ensure that I follow the correct procedure for the Vanish request, I think it would be okay to ask a couple of questions. First, should I submit the Vanish request here in the comments (how would the procedure)? Second, regarding the {{ retired}} tag, should I place it on both the user profile and talk page, or is it sufficient to add it to just one of them?

I'm seeking this clarification to ensure that my Vanish request is processed accurately. My aim is to close this account and transition to being a reader only - without a new account to be precise too. I appreciate your understanding, considering my novice status in navigating this process. Additionally, I habitually check forums for extra details. Thank you for your time and patience!
