Help:Deleting a page
By default, MediaWiki (the software that the Kumu Wiki runs on) does not allow individual users to delete pages. This limitation is partially based on the theory that pages on the wiki are not "owned" by any one person but rather belong to the community. Users can request or nominate pages for deletion.
Note that removing all text from a page does not delete it, it just leaves a blank page, which is discouraged as it is confusing to readers. The text can be restored from the page history.
Nominating a page for deletion
You can ask for a page to be deleted for any reason you wish. Add a deletion 'tag' to the article by putting the text {{delete}} at the top. If it is not clear why the page should be deleted, please leave a note on that page's talk page. If no one objects to the deletion, the page will be deleted after 30 days.
Speedy deletion
If you need a page to be deleted sooner than 30 days, please email blamb@tru.ca. Please be sure to include your wiki username in the email and if you are not the creator or sole editor of the page, please explain why the page should be deleted.
