'''Account disabling''' is a {{tag|Wiki concept|feature}} used by some very large [[wiki farm]]s such as {{tag|Fandom}}, for people who wish to quit and never return. If the [[user]] decides to return to the farm after disabling their {{tag|WikiIndex account|account}}, they will have to make a new account with a new [[username]].


Disabling is often confused with [[global blocking]] when they are in fact entirely different; disabling is done by user choice, global blocking is done by force. On [[Wikia]], however, [[Wikia Staff|Staffers]] will sometimes disable an account if the user is meant to be globally blocked forever.
