How do I delete a page?

1. Before deleting a page, verify that no other pages link to the page. You will be notified if any site pages link to the page you are about to delete. It is highly recommended that you visit those pages and revise the links as necessary. Please see What pages link to this page? for more information.
2. To delete a page, select the 'Delete page' option from the 'More tools' dropdown menu (at the top of the page).
   
   
   
3. The 'Delete This Page' dialog will appear. Type in the reason you're deleting the page, and then click the Delete Page button (giving a reason for page deletion is not required). You will be asked to confirm that you wish to delete the page. Once a page has been deleted, it can later be restored by a moderator.
   
   

• The deleted page and all of its subpages are removed from navigation and are made uncategorized.
• Links to the deleted page will still work, but any content that was created for the page will be replaced by a message stating that the page has been deleted, along with the reason for the deletion.
• The deleted page can still be reached through a keyword search, even though the content will not be displayed.
• A 'Deleted pages' report is accessible by site moderators in the 'What's New' area.
