Hi, everybody,

I seem to have lost the user "Anonymous" which is the one with the user_id = 0.

I say this because trying to delete a user with the extension "UserMerge" I got 
this error:

"Cannot create an actor for a usable name that is not an existing user".

 

To be clear, the UserMerge Extension instructs to 
merge (refer contributions, texts, watchlists, edit count of) a first account A 
to a second account B
delete the first account A after the merge 
….
if you omit the "New User" field (account B) then the extension auto-populates 
the New User as "Anonymous", and ask you to confirm a merge to Anonymous
 

So I went to check the "user" and "actor" tables where, actually, the Anonymous 
user doesn't exist. 

Is it serious?

Everything else seems to be working fine to me...
