Thread:Project:Support desk/Hacked page, unable to delete/reply (4)

What you say does not seem to be correct (anymore): User Emma has deleted the page two days ago. You surely can still call that URL with the browser, but that has nothing to do with the fact that there was a page under this name: You can call any URL, whether a page with this name existed or not. The server also sends back the correct result: Error 404, no page here.

Currently the page content cannot be seen by anyone except by wiki admins, who can restore it should they want to. If what you want is to permanently remove it from your database, you first have to restore the page again. Then you can permanently delete the page in MediaWiki by using the maintenance script nukePage.php. This allows you to permanently and irrecoverably delete the page from the database. Note however that people will still be able to call its URL and the server will still send back an error 404. Basically that is what you already have right now.
