You might still have to rerun migrateActors.php after making that change,
as otherwise some of the older edits attributed to Anonymous may have
disappeared.

Thank you so much Brian.
Your first suggestion solved the problem.
It was enough to add the following line in LocalSettings.php
// Add just one user name to the default array
$wgReservedUsernames[] = 'Anonymous';
to get this:
Merge from Giada (691) to Anonymous (0) is complete.
Giada (691) has been deleted.

Such users can still exist, they can't just be a valid name. Adding it

$wgReservedUsernames might be enough to allow it as an anon (not

the very least, having something like '<Anonymous>' would be fine,
since <
isn't allowed in real usernames.

Thanks Brian.
I run the suggested scripts but didn't solve the problem.
I need a user "Anonymous".

...this means that UserMerge Extension is no
longer available for
user
deletion; isn't it?

I say this because trying to delete a user with the extension

Is it serious?
Everything else seems to be working fine to me...
