Help:Page deletion and redirection

If you want to delete a page on Nottinghack Wiki, please follow the guidelines on this page.

Note: If the deletion or redirection might be disruptive or controversial please propose first, see below.

Deletion by redirection (merging)

Replace all of the text on the page with the redirect code. For example, to redirect to a page called "Another page" replace all of the text with:

#REDIRECT [[Another page]]

Redirecting to a currently existing page is different from moving because all the information on the page is lost, unless it is merged into the page that is the redirect target.

If redirection might be disruptive or controversial please use merge template to solicit debate, see below.

Propose a page for deletion

Only admin users can delete pages. To propose a page for deletion add the delete template at the top of the page, for example:

{{delete|reason=This page isn't very interesting.|date=February 2019}}

If the deletion disruptive or controversial the admin user should solicit debate before deleting.
