Deletion of Flow topic/comment

Hello Mattflaschen, we've had some instances of vandalism/spam on Flow pages on gomwiki, such as this:

https://gom.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topic:T5crnav4dljy4wo2

I've deleted the topic, but the text in the subject, which can be still be seen, even by non-logged in users, is quite offensive. How can I make this topic title hidden (as an admin)? I'm looking for something like a revision delete for the Flow page history or a page delete for the topic.

You need to suppress it. It doesn't look like anyone in gomwiki has suppress (see https://gom.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%B6%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%B6:ListUsers&group=oversight and https://gom.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%B6%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%B6:ListUsers&group=suppress ).

You can ask a steward. If it's urgent, you can use !steward in #wikimedia-stewards on Freenode. If it's slightly less urgent, you can use Meta:Vandalism reports.

In the future, you may want to ask about getting a local oversighter for your wiki.

This is analogous to how deleting a page does not hide the page name (it's still in Special:Log/delete).

Thanks for your advice, Matt. I have requested for suppression.

Sorry, if you suppress the topic directly, it works fine. But it turns out there is a problem if the topic is first deleted, then later suppressed. I'm working on it.
