This is a collection of notes to administrators to help them with the maintenance that regular users can not do.
Deletion
Before deletion check the page history. If the page have been around for many years and have had a lot of views it might be a better idea to not delete the page, but instead make a redirect to a page that have a similar subject. Also deleting a well visited page can cause a lot of broken links on the forum.
Deleting spam and blocking spammers
Newly registered users whose first and only contribution clearly and unambiguously was spam can safely be blocked indefinitely and have the contributions deleted. Make sure the edit summary does not contain the offending links and other content.
Maintenance categories
Some of the maintenance categories, in particular Category:Considered for deletion and Category:Candidates for speedy deletion, should have a look regularly.
