Qix Wiki:Deletion policy

From Qix Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Deletion is the process of removing content from public view. Qix Wiki, as well as all wikis in general, utilize deletion as a process of maintenance, security, safety, and proper documentation. Any content may be deleted at any time, but there must generally be a compelling reason to do so. Major examples include the following:

  • A page is not within scope.
  • It exceeds the limits set within the user content policy.
  • It is a non-mainspace redirect that is no longer necessary, such as the result of a page rename.
  • Blatant spam or vandalism efforts.
  • A delete request was made, and an administrator approved its deletion.
  • Something has been replaced with a new version, typically in regards to files or templates.

Furthermore, individual revisions may also be deleted. Reasons for revision deletions may include:

  • Blatant vandalism
  • Offensive material
  • Unacceptable external links
  • Broken or otherwise non-functional revisions

Pages may be undeleted upon request and a thorough explanation as to why a page may need to be undeleted. Administrators can still access deleted material.

Furthermore, any Not Safe For Work (NSFW) content—particularly in reference to pornographic Qix knock-off games, as well as downloads/ROMs for any games will be deleted on sight, with no questions asked. This is not up for negotiation.
