Meta:Deletion

If ever you find a page that you feel should be deleted from this wiki, please add a link to this page along with why you think the page should be deleted. Please note though, deletion of a page is something that should be avoided if possible. There are other actions that should be considered first before you suggest it needs to be deleted.

What to do before suggesting deletion

First and foremost, see if you can't add content to help improve the page and make it more worthwhile. Perhaps try to get an in-game picture of a creation, or add some details about who created it. If you think this can't be done, move on to the next stage.

So, you can't add more content to this page. This is likely to happen when it comes to pages that are about creations from earlier revisions on maps that are no longer in use. Perhaps instead, aggregating pages might be better. Let's say you found a few pages about creations in revision 12 of creative, and each page is rather small; create a new page called something like "Minor Creative Creations (revision 12)" and move the content into this new page. As a rough guide, use the page title as a header for each section, using double equals, and edit the headers to flow down from there; so an if the minor creation page has a level two header, make it a level three header etc. Once you have moved the creation to the common page, edit the original to be a redirect; don't forget you can link to the specific section. This ensures that if any one has a link to the original page, they still find the right content.

Now, this should cover most situations; though you may still feel the page needs to be deleted.

How to sugest a page for deletion

Presumable, you have gone through the 'What to do before suggesting deletion' section and still believe that page should be deleted. In which case, please post a link to the page in the section below, and provide a reason or two as to why you feel the page needs to be deleted. You then also need to edit the page you believe needs deleting to include the warning template, this template is currently under construction, so for now do not worry about this.

What will happen

When you add a page to be deleted the case will be reviewed (by the mythical guardians of the wiki who you never see). It may be decided that the page can actually be improved in some way or moved somewhere more useful, or we may agree with you. If it is decided that a page needs to be deleted, it will probably not be actually deleted as such, instead it will be recycled. The page will be left as a redirect to an info page explaining that the page was deleted, and if some one wishes, they can reuse that page name.

Type Case

As an example of a page the should be deleted, please see Loot. So this is a prime example of a page that would be 'redirected' to the page deleted page. (Please not that at the moment, the original page is being used, to help further this example, this page should be cloned to "Meta:Loot" and then the original page can be properly cleaned up)

Loot This page is not much more than a short description of some basic game mechanics; the fact you can open chests, both player and dungeon as well as kill players to get there items. It serves little real purpose, it offers no help to players and is not discussing anything about the MCPublic servers specifically.

List of pages proposed for deletion

Until a page has had the warning (yet to be made) on it for at least one week, 'deletion' will not be performed

AwesomeUser - This page is just a random list of users that somebody thinks are 'Awesome' it serves little or no real purpose. Restone creations - I see no need for a page just for this, and seeing as it has no content, nore does any one else
