It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with FlightGear wiki:Checklist for wiki admins.

This is a collection of notes to administrators to help them with the maintenance that regular users can not do.

Common tasks

Deletion

See also {{delete}} and {{delete-sp}}.
  • 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.

Periodically recurring tasks

This section is a stub. You can help the wiki by expanding it.
