Happy editing! &mdash; Mdaniels5757 (talk &bull; contribs) 15:28, 22 April 2023 (UTC)


 * @Mdaniels5757 So, thank you for creating the account. Now comes the confusion: I already had an account using this same email address. I'm 10000% sure of that, because I'm a monthly wikipedia donor. The whole reason I was trying to sign in in the first place was to cancel those donations (money troubles). So, if I now how this brand new account, 1) what happens to that old account and 2) how do I cancel the donations? Kaylahalsey (talk) 15:32, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Oh. Donations are managed separate from Wikipedia accounts. You can follow the instructions at to cancel your donation. What was the username (not email) of the old account? &mdash; Mdaniels5757 (talk &bull; contribs) 15:34, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
 * @Mdaniels5757 I don't know. that's how I ended up w this account. afaict, when you go to wikimedia, you have to select which app you want to access. and if you Google "wikimedia donations login", it just takes you to the page where you can initiate a donation.

 * Ah, so you probably didn't have an editing account like this one, so nothing needs to be done with it. That's fine, the link I gave earlier doesn't need one. &mdash; Mdaniels5757 (talk &bull; contribs) 15:53, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
 * @Mdaniels5757 so, how do I turn off the donations? Kaylahalsey (talk) 15:58, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Go to https://donate.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cancel_or_change_recurring_giving and follow the instructions to turn off the donations. &mdash; Mdaniels5757 (talk &bull; contribs) 16:00, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
 * @Mdaniels5757 it's asking for an email receipt. I don't receive email receipts. it's only visible in my bank account activity. Kaylahalsey (talk) 17:34, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Try emailing anyways with your email address and full name. Also try searching for email receipts/confirmations, even from when you first started the donations. &mdash; Mdaniels5757 (talk &bull; contribs) 17:36, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
 * @Mdaniels5757 yeah, Google deletes trash after 30 days, and it's been probably 18 months. but I'll try emailing. Kaylahalsey (talk) 01:31, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
