This is a collection of notes to administrators to help them with the maintenance that regular users can not do.
Common tasks
Deletion
- Before deletion check the page history.
- An old page with lot of edits and views should probably not be deleted, but instead be turned into 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, just the word "Spam" and possibly a few words more.
