API:Delete

Token
To delete a page, a delete token is required. This token is equal to the edit token and the same for all pages, but changes at every login. A delete token can be obtained as follows:

Deleting pages
Pages can be deleted with action=delete.

Parameters

 * title: The page you want to delete.
 * pageid: The page id of the page you want to delete
 * token: The token obtained in the previous request. Take care to urlencode the trailing  as.
 * reason: The reason for the deletion (optional). If not provided, an automatically generated reason will be used.

Example
Note: In this example, all parameters are passed in a GET request just for the sake of simplicity. However, action=delete requires POST requests; GET requests will cause an error.
