How to delete a page?[edit | edit source]
To delete the page, click Page Tools > Manage page> Delete .
Before deleting the page, you can:
- Check the version history.
- Check which pages link to this page
- Indicate the reason for the deletion: Since deleting a page can raise questions from other users, it makes sense to leave a short explanation here. This text is shown accordingly in the deletion log.
- Watch the page: If the page is restored by another user, you can receive a notification.
Mass-deleting pages[edit | edit source]
Admin users can mass-delete recently added pages from the special page Special:Nuke.
Which pages should be deleted?[edit | edit source]
You can use some pages under Special:SpecialPages to find candidates for deletion:
-
Special:ShortPages: With short pages it can be expected that the content of the article is not relevant enough or is better dealt with as a paragraph in another article. -
Special:LonelyPages: Orphaned pages are characterized by a lack of transclusions or links to the page. -
Special:NewPages: Reviewing recently added pages is useful, for example, to detect spam in public wikis.
Where do I find information about deleted pages?[edit | edit source]
-
Special:Log/delete: Search for and restore deleted pages. -
Special:DeletedContributions: Search for deleted posts of a specific user (or an IP address).
Recover deleted pages[edit | edit source]
Deleted pages can be restored using the Delete log which can be accessed from the page Special:SpecialPages. If the deleted page was linked to other wiki pages, the page can be restored directly via the redlink on that page.
Which pages shouldn't be deleted?[edit | edit source]
There are often more sensible alternatives for deleting:
- Move: If a page has an incorrect or incorrect title, the page can be moved.
- Copy: If the content does not match the page title, the content can be copied to another page
- ForwardRedirect: If the page content already exists on another page, the duplicate content can be deleted and a redirect can be created.
- Obsolete: The content is no longer current. You can mark the page as out of date and other wiki users can update the page later.
