= Gueta ameyorada nel archivu de páxines desaniciaes = Demientres el Wikimedia Hackathon de 2016, l'equipu Discovery trabayó n'unu de los elementos de la llista de pidimientos de la comunidá de 2015, concretamente activar la gueta nel archivu de páxines desaniciaes. Esta carauterística yá ta preparada pal despliegue en producción, y s'activará en toles wikis, sacante Wikidata.

Right now, the feature is behind a feature flag - to use it on your wiki, please go to the  page, and add   to the URL, like this: https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AUndelete&fuzzy=1. Then search for the pages you're interested in. There should be more results than before, due to using ElasticSearch indexing (via the CirrusSearch extension).

We plan to enable this improved search by default on all wikis soon (around August 1, 2017). If you have any objections to this - please raise them with the Discovery team via email or on this announcement's discussion page. Like most Mediawiki configuration parameters, the functionality can be configured per wiki. Once the improved search becomes the default, you can still access the old mode using  in the URL, like this: https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AUndelete&fuzzy=0

Please note that since Special:Undelete is an admin-only feature, this search capability is also only accessible to wiki admins.
