Help:Deletion and undeletion/zh

普通用户是无法永久删除一个 wiki 页面的. 这是设计上经过慎重考虑之后的决定，也是 wiki 工作方式中重要的一环. 任何形式的编辑操作都可以被所有其他用户撤销，包括找回被删除的内容. 这并不会浪费多少存储空间，并且，只要页面被标记为“已删除”，它实际上就已经被删除了.

另一方面，对于具有管理员权限的用户来说，删除页面是一种很简单的操作：它可以将一个页面从 wiki 中半永久性地删除，直至另一个管理员将其反删除（恢复）——当然，这也很容易. 在典型的应用情况中，管理员会查找删除标记，并在一段时间之后将这些页面真正地删除. 如果你出于某种原因希望某个页面尽快被删除，你需要联系一位系统管理员让他帮你完成.

删除修订版本的功能可为那些存在特殊问题的编辑提供更好的删除控制能力.

在删除之前
管理员应注意“什么时候不能删除一个页面”中给出的一般性建议：特别地，有很多情况下直接删除都显得太极端. 例如，采用重定向通常会更合适.

在删除之前，你应该进行以下检查：


 * 使用“”工具. 它可以指示出一个页面的重要程度，以及与它相关的主题. 也许许多地方都存在指向这个页面的链接. 如果你继续删除，那么所有指向的链接都将变为红色链接. 理想情况下，如果一个页面真的没有存在的必要，那么所有指向它的链接都应该被修改/删除. 你可以在执行删除操作之前做这件事，或者请求 wiki 社区中的其他人完成.


 * 检查页面历史，以及相关联的讨论页面. 都有谁建议删除了？是否有人不同意？是否已经过了充分讨论？人们是否有足够的时间发表反对意见？是否因为某人蓄意破坏了一个页面而建议删除的？

以上检查的慎重程度与 wiki 社区的规模、以及待删除的内容都有关系. 记住：只有管理员能够恢复删除操作，所以，对于一个普通用户来说，那些信息就等同于永远丢失了.

Use the 'delete' action
Sysops should see a 'delete' tab or action menu option at the top of every page. To find the action menu, look for a down arrow or triangle next to the "View History" tab. If you mouse over the triangle you should see "delete", "move", "protect" and "watch". Click the delete action to delete the page. When using browsers which support keyboard shortcuts, you can also use (Control-Alt-D). You will be asked to confirm, and to supply a "Reason for deletion". This is a short textual description of why the page is being deleted. Your action will appear on the recent changes display, and in the deletion log (Special:Log).

Remember only the administrator can delete uploaded photograph files.

Undeleting
To undelete a page you must navigate to the exact page name of the page. You can find this in the deletion log (Special:Log) if you don't remember it.

You should then see a link to "View or restore n deleted edits". Tick the box next to the revision you wish to restore.

Configuring deletion reasons
The list of reasons in the dropdown box is maintained at MediaWiki:Deletereason-dropdown.

When not to delete a page
Typically you would delete a page if the contents are entirely inappropriate and do not match the purposes of the Wiki. In other situations, you would take a less extreme course of action, for example:


 * The page should have a different title -- See Help:Moving a page


 * The contents should have been placed on a different page -- Add the contents to the other page, and then supply a redirect. See Help:Redirects


 * The contents are already on a different page -- Delete the duplicate content and leave a redirect. That way, the page title, which made sense to somebody, will helpfully redirect to the information. See Help:Redirects


 * The page is out-of-date -- Re-word sentences to be in the past tense, to make the page an historical record. Alternatively, label the information as out-of-date, with a warning notice.


 * Don't delete redirects.

An actual delete is generally necessary only if the title of the page is inappropriate. In other situations, a merge and redirect is more appropriate.

Proposing changes
Deciding on appropriate content/page titles can be a difficult aspect of Wiki organization, and one which can often provoke debates. If the merge or deletion you have in mind is one which might cause upset, you should propose the change first. Do this by leaving a note to give your reasons on the talk page. You might also establish a system for labeling the page with a delete/merge proposal template, to make everybody aware of your intentions.

Unlinking a page
The 'What links here' toolbox feature (bottom of left sidebar) will tell you which other Wiki pages link to the current page. Always use this feature to check before proceeding with deleting. These related pages will need to be edited for their links to reflect the change.
