Can we delete some of these articles marked for deletion?
« on: July 25, 2013, 11:15:59 pm »

There's a number of articles on the wiki marked for deletion but not actually deleted (http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Unused:Fishpond: we even have an entire namespace dedicated to one!). Can one of the admins get on this and clear it out? Thanks

Thanks for pointing that out! I'll look through them when I have a chance and figure out what to do with them (I took care of a few obvious ones already, like the one you pointed out).

Also, I don't know what the "Unused" namespace is for – my best guess is that it's a leftover namespace that got renamed at some point. The "Fishpond" article was intended to be in the Masterwork namespace (and it's now at http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Masterwork:Fishpond). Anyway, I'd discourage using that namespace for marking articles for deletion, since non-admins moving an article there create a redirect at the old title, thus creating two unwanted pages (only admins can choose not to leave a redirect, which is pointless in this case since they can delete pages).
