Spezial:Verwaiste_Seiten (German: orphaned pages): The orphaned pages are pages which aren’t or are only sparsely linked to other pages. Spezial:Neue_Seiten (German: new pages): Here you can find a list of the recently appended pages. This can be helpful to find spam in public wikis. Where can I find information about deleted pages? Spezial:Logbuch/delete: Here is the log of the deleted pages. You can find deleted pages here and there is an option to restore deleted pages. Spezial:Wiederherstellen: Here you can search for a deleted page, too. Spezial:Gelöschte_Beiträge: On this site you can enter the Name or IP-adress of a certain user and find the articles he deleted.
