Help:Delete

Deleting content on a wiki removes it from the site. Any user can remove content manually from a wiki, but only admins are able to delete pages entirely. If a mistake is made, it can be "undeleted".

Why delete a page?

 * spam
 * vandalism
 * unwanted pages (mistaken info)

Deletion:

 * Click the arrow on the "edit" button next to the page title and then click “delete”.
 * This will bring you to another page, where you can delete your page.
 * Choose a reason in the drop down menu why you want to delete a page.
 * You can also supply your own "Other/additional reason". (see screenshot below)



On the next page, you will see a box labeled "Delete."


 * The Delete box allows you to select a pre-written reason from the "Reason" drop-down menu. You can also supply one you wrote yourself in "Other/additional reason."

 * Click the "Delete" button.


 * You will be redirected to the main page of the wiki, where a green banner will appear at the top of the page confirming the page’s deletion.

Restoration

 * Any deleted page can be restored by an admin later. You can review all deletions in the deletion log, found at Special:Log/delete.
 * To restore a deleted page, go to Special:Undelete.


 * Enter the deleted page title in the "Show pages starting with" box and click "Search."
 * If you see a list of similarly named pages, find the one you want to restore and click that.

 * Click the "Restore" button.


 * The page will be restored just as it was when it was deleted, and will appear immediately.

Deleting a wiki
Wikis can only be closed by Wikia Staff. If you would like to request a wiki closure, please send a message to Special:Contact from the wiki. Wikis are rarely closed, however, as they are community projects, so please provide as much information as possible in your request.
