Merge user into another (Admin)

Changed on

Merge a duplicate user account into a target main account.

Account Merging Behavior:

  • Transfers all comments, articles, reactions, and follows to the target user (merge_user_id).
  • Deletes/destroys the source user account in the background once its content has been transferred, so it may still exist briefly after this request returns.
  • High risk! Action is permanent and irreversible.
  • Requires Super Admin credentials.
