Deleting<br />

Administrators can remove pages and <strong>the</strong>ir complete history with <strong>the</strong><br />

delete command. Such pages are placed into an archive and are no<br />

longer accessible over <strong>the</strong> WWW. However, <strong>the</strong>y are only removed<br />

from <strong>the</strong> database when specifically deleted by a sysop (see Chapter<br />

8.2). The deleting of pages should be done with <strong>the</strong> utmost of care,<br />

since one is generally dealing with a work authored by several participants,<br />

who, under certain circumstances, would not be happy to<br />

discover that <strong>the</strong>ir contributions have been removed from <strong>the</strong> wiki.<br />

There is often a page in wikis where potential “delete candidates”<br />

are suggested and discussed before an administrator may remove<br />

<strong>the</strong>m from a wiki (with “may” we refer to a social, not a technical,<br />

limitation). Good delete candidates include <strong>the</strong> redirect pages mentioned<br />

above, which are generated when pages are moved.<br />
