Help:Deletion and undeletion/fr

Les utilisateurs normaux ne peuvent pas supprimer une page wiki de façon permanente (juste la blanchir). Cela est délibéré, et c'est une des raisons principales pour lesquelles les wikis marchent. Tout type d'opération de modification peut être annulé par un autre utilisateur, et cela inclut la résurrection du contenu supprimé. It doesn't cause significant wasted space; and with nothing but a 'delete' label, the page is effectively deleted anyway.

Supprimer une page est, d'un autre côté, une opération simple pour quiconque en a les droits d'administrateur: cela permet de retirer d'une façon semi-permanente une page du wiki, jusqu'à ce qu'un administrateur la restaure tout aussi facilement. Typiquement, les administrateurs pourraient jeter un coup d’œil aux pages à supprimer, et effectuer une suppression technique de ces pages, après un certain temps. Si pour une raison ou une autre vous avez besoin qu'une page soit supprimée plus rapidement que cela, vous devrez contacter un administrateur pour le lui demander.

La suppression de version offre une fonctionnalité plus précise de suppression d'éditions qui comportent des problèmes particuliers.

Avant la suppression
Les administrateurs devraient aussi être au courant du conseil généralement donné dans Quand ne pas supprimer une page : en particulier, il y a plusieurs situations où une suppression est trop radicale. Par exemple, une redirection est souvent plus appropriée.

Avant de supprimer une page vous devriez faire diverses vérifications :


 * Utiliser l'outil "Pages liées" Cela donne une indication de l'importance qu'une page a, et à quels sujets elle est liée. Peut-être la page est encore liée depuis de nombreux endroits. Tous les liens en question deviendront des liens rouges si vous procédez à la suppression. Idéalement tous les liens en question devraient être modifiés ou supprimés, s'il n'y a vraiment pas lieu pour cette page d'exister. You could do this work prior to deleting, or ask others in the wiki community to do it.
 * Check the page history and the associated talk page. Who was proposing the deletion? Does anyone disagree? Has it been properly discussed? Did people have adequate time to raise objections? Did somebody vandalize a page, which then led to a deletion proposal?

The care taken over these things might depend on the size of the wiki community, and how clear-cut the case for deletion is. Remember that only sysop users can undo a delete action, so to a normal user the information appears to be lost forever.

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.
 * The contents should have been placed on a different page -- Add the contents to the other page, and then supply a redirect. See.
 * 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.
 * The page is out-of-date -- Re-word sentences to be in the past tense, to make the page a historical record. Alternatively, label the information as out-of-date, with a warning notice.
 * m: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.

Proposer des modifications
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.

Supprimer les liens
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.
