Extension:PureWikiDeletion

This is the Pure Wiki Deletion (PWD) extension.

What can this extension do?
Pure wiki deletion will work as follows:

A former version of this article was blanked by [USER NAME/IP] on [DATE]. The reason given for blanking was: [EDIT SUMMARY]. You may view the article's history, edit the last version, or type new article into the white space below.
 * A link to a blank page will show up as a red link. (or orange, or whatever color you want)
 * When a user follows a link to a blank page, the page will behave the same way that deleted pages do now, except there will be an additional message, reading:
 * Blank pages will not show up in searches using Special:Search, random pages using Special:Randompage, or the list of all pages using Special:Allpages. [Note: The functionality relating to Special:Search and Special:Allpages has not yet been implemented.]
 * The URL prefix to a blank page should be listed in robots.txt, and the page will emit "noarchive" and "noindex" and "nofollow" tags, to prevent caching in search engines. [Note: This functionality has not yet been implemented.]

Usage
There are two parser functions, #ifblank and #ifnotblank. Their syntax is as follows: returns true. returns false.

Installation
Add this line to LocalSettings.php:

Edit MediaWiki:Sidebar. There should be a line pertaining to the random page. Delete that line and replace it with:

Configuration parameters
You can change the style of broken, blank and known links. By default, broken links are a cherry red that is a bit brighter than the shade of red we are accustomed to seeing in broken links. These parameters should be placed in LocalSettings.php:
