Can someone please explain how hiatuses work on SW?

Because I've been trying to figure it out for weeks and I'm so confused. I don't want to delete my account, leave SW forever. I just want to know how to make it say I'm on hiatus on my profile for a while. That's all.

@Nuno Can you please separate the Hiatus option from the Delete Account option? It doesn't make sense to keep them together, they're an entirely different thing, and I don't appreciate you triggering my anxiety any more than it needs to be by giving me a great opportunity to accidentally delete my profile. Thank you.
