Talk to the Friti, my dear!
Before leaving me a message: find out a little about how to edit a wiki.
Need to delete a page? NEVER blank the page. Instead, use the {{delete}} template, so that the sysops can completely delete the page if THEY feel it is justified.
When is deletion of a page justified? If a page answers to one or more of the following criteria:
- Typo in page name. Ex. MyPagee, instead of MyPage
- Wrong namespace. Ex John_Doe, instead of User:John_Doe
- Spam. Ex, a page with the name "Eat At Joe's", when the wiki is not food related.
- Vandalism. Ex. Pages created in large quantities, for the purpose of making information on the wiki hard to find.
If the information is out of date, UPDATE the info, do not delete the page, nor have it deleted. People rely on this wiki for help, do not derive them of the information they need by deleting info, no matter how outdated it is. Some people may even NEED this outdated info! Therefore, do not remove outdated, or obsolete info, but update it. Or better yet, archive it, and make a new page with a revision number. That way, there will be up-to-date info, and older info is preserved for those who need it.
