'''Account disabling''' is a {{tag|WikiConcept|feature}} used by some very large [[wiki farm]]s such as {{tag|Wikia}}, 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 may be confused with [[global blocking]], when they are in fact entirely different; disabling is done by user choice, global blocking is done by enforcement.  On Wikia, however, [[:Category:Wikia Staff|staff]] will sometimes disable an account if the user is meant to be globally blocked forever.
