If reporting threatened harm to self or others also email emergency@wikimedia.org.

✓ Done Page deleted, user warned. I don't think this account (and similar ones) needs to be reported. Just tag their pages for deletion, and warned the user. Then if similar out of scope edits continue, you can report them. Thanks, Yann (talk) 06:28, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
