| 1 | = Deleting a Wiki Page = |

| 3 | Wiki pages can be completely deleted using the //Delete page// or the //Delete this version// button at the bottom of the wiki page. These buttons are only visible for users that have the `WIKI_DELETE` permission. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | '''Note:''' Deleting a wiki page is an irreversible operation. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Deleting specific versions or even complete pages can make sense to remove spam or other abusive submissions. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | However, if you want to delete a page because you re-created a new page with the same content but a different name, it is recommended to keep the page and use it as a redirection page instead of completely deleting it. This will avoid frustrating the visitor with broken links, particularly when coming to the site from a search engine. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | In this situation, chances are that you actually wanted to [[WikiNewPage#renaming|rename]] the page instead of doing a copy and delete. |
| 12 | The //Rename// operation offers you the possibility to create a redirection page. |
| 13 | A redirection page is a short page that contains a link such as “See !SomeOtherPage”. |
