[edit] Blanking
For future reference, blanking pages is not the same as deleting them. It's also considered a really bad thing to do. -- Cyrius|✎ 20:00, May 23, 2004 (UTC)
- You're talking about the Sean Flowers page? That page was listed for quick deletion for vanity. I thought I was doing people a favor by deleting it. What should I have done? Pyramidal

- Oh, nevermind. I just read the Candidates_for_speedy_deletion and the policy that only Sys-Ops should delete these pages. Thanks for bringing this matter to my attention. It won't happen again. Pyramidal 03:40, 26 May 2004 (UTC)

- The Mediawiki software has a distinction between a deleted page (which does not exist), and a blank page (which exists, but has no content). A blank page will show up as existing when links are made to it. The thing about "only admins should delete pages" is that only admins can delete pages. It's one of the three(ish) abilities admins are trusted with.
