### ⚠ As of Discourse 2.5.0 beta 3 Merge users is built into Discourse ⚠

See: [Discourse 2.5.0.beta3 Release Notes](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-2-5-0-beta3-release-notes/148766)

This plugin will not be supported long term and may break soon..

**Update Dec 2022** : I think a recent software update has meant that the plugin causes an error when someone is not an admin:

> Unhandled Promise Rejection: Error: Could not find module `admin/models/admin-user` imported from `discourse/plugins/discourse-merge-users/discourse/components/merge-users-form`

So if anyone else still has this plugin installed, now is the time to uninstall it.

With this plugin you can easily merge two users together.

Moving this to #plugin:broken-plugin

Nothing bad at all about @Dannii’s excellent work here, but we have no need for this plugin anymore since it is all built into Discourse, leaving the link and topic around mainly as an educational artifact.

> New features in 2.5.0.beta3 Improved Bookmarks - now with reminders! Saving topics/posts for later review has evolved numerous times since the start of Discourse. From stars, to post bookmarks, to user topic timers, we’ve tested out numerous options. We’ve now combined the best of all these into our new bookmark system.
