Delete Pages
Last modified by Vincent Massol on 2026/09/04 19:20
Steps
Have a connected assistant delete a page for you, where an administrator has enabled the delete tools. The deletion is saved as you, so it carries your name (see Agent Authentication).
- Ask the assistant to delete the page, by title or by reference. It reads the page first, so what it deletes is the version it has just shown you.
- Check what it reports: the page and the version it deleted, and that the page went to the recycle bin.
FAQ
Can I get the page back?
Yes. Deleting moves the page to the wiki's recycle bin, from which an administrator can restore it. On a wiki with no recycle bin, the deletion is refused rather than made permanent.
It refuses to delete a page that has other pages under it
There is no recursive delete: deleting a page that still has children would orphan them. Move or delete the children first.
The assistant says it cannot delete pages
The delete tools are off by default. Ask your administrator to enable them.
