UDWiki:Administration/Undeletions

Shortcut:
A/U

This page is for the request of page undeletions within the Urban Dead wiki. Due to concerns about loss of data, the ability to undelete pages is restricted to system operators. As such, regular users will need to request an undeletion from a system operator. For consistency and accountability, system operators also adhere to the guidelines listed here.

Please note that Images cannot be restored, they are permanently gone when deleted. If you wish to prevent any currently unused images from being deleted you may wish to Image Ark them.

Guidelines for Undeletion Requests

All Undeletion Requests must contain the following information in order to be considered:

• A link to the deletion request in question. Preferably bolded for visibility.
• A reason for undeletion. This should be short and to the point.
• A signed datestamp. This can be easily done by adding ~~~~ to the end of your request.

Any undeletion request that does not contain these three pieces of information will not be considered, and will be removed by a system operator.

Undeletions may only be granted if the user provides a convincing reason as to why the page should be resurrected, or if the page was deleted as a result of a system operators abuse.

Once the undeletion request has been entered, the request shall remain on this page, where it will be reviewed by a member of the Sysop team, and action taken accordingly. Once action has been taken, the request will be moved into Recent Actions, along with a comment from the system operator who determined the action take. After a week has passed with the target page in Recent Actions, it can be moved to the Archive.

Just recieved an email from Poodle.

About the undeletion request... if dumuzi wants it, he should get it. Truth be known, I didn't create the main page. I wasn't the only person in my group editing it. I wasn't acting on behalf of my group when I put it up for A/SD. If he wants it, at the very least, give him the codes for each page, so he can start a fresh group page.

Sysop opinions? As he's the one who demanded the request, this is more compelling to undelete, but I know some of you are reluctant. Thoughts?--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 00:17, 16 August 2010 (BST)

Any info needed I'll pull up with the view deleted pages thing, just. 00:20, 16 August 2010 (BST)

If anyone wants to know who the user who actually did make the page is, it was TripleU.--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 00:24, 16 August 2010 (BST)

I'd take the codes for the pages.... The main page, and every subpage....

Don't actually understand what he's sayign here. Probably the hours of Russian History I've been doing.--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 00:26, 16 August 2010 (BST)

The information of every page and subpage deleted...

Well obviously. :P I meant what you want us to do with the code.--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 00:28, 16 August 2010 (BST)

Poodle of doom said:

Go post them on the EVIL forums or something...

Which is great, but I don't actually know how to get the code of a deleted page without undeleting it, and since it's half past midnight here, I don't really have time to undelete them all, copy the code and delete them again. I honourably pass the task on to the next system operator who reads this. That means YOU!--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 00:31, 16 August 2010 (BST)

Me? He gets a few specific pages if he asks for them. Also for the record, you can view the source of a deleted page by clicking the timestamp of the revision in question when you go to the undeletion page. 00:34, 16 August 2010 (BST)

Already know, read below. I'm emailing him as we speak.--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 00:35, 16 August 2010 (BST)

He wants this:

Poodle of doom said:

Actually,... you know what.... email the codes for the main page, and every one of our history archive sub pages. That will be good enough.

--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 00:33, 16 August 2010 (BST)

Oh wait, I can do it.--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 00:33, 16 August 2010 (BST)

Emails sent.--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 00:48, 16 August 2010 (BST)

Poodle may not realise that the codes only work on wikis... He'll find out soon enough, anyway. --

Extremely Vengeful and Irksome Laymen + subpages

[1] reason because Poodle is an idiot and will be severely spanked for his stupidity --Posydon ^{(talk)(MCM)(UBCS)(EVIL)} 20:48, 15 August 2010 (BST)

Member of the group requests undeletion that another member has asked deleted. I'm going to check the history of these. Hold on a sec. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 21:45, 15 August 2010 (BST)

Template:EC

Edit conflictedYeah, that's not really too much of a compelling reason. He created the pages, and so he was able to delete them under Crit 7. A real reason would be good, considering there are hundreds of pages involved.--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 21:46, 15 August 2010 (BST)

Aichon said:

As an additional aside, I oppose undeletion of these as well should it ever come up that someone wants them all undeleted. If someone is looking for specific information, fine, but if someone wants to set up the group on the wiki again, those pages are gone as far as I'm concerned, especially considering they were in not one, but two incorrect namespaces.

Quote from Aichon, who deleted most of them.--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 21:48, 15 August 2010 (BST)

I also went on record before the deletions were made stating my opposition to their restoration. I stand by it. 21:49, 15 August 2010 (BST)

And I still stand by what I said last night as well. I'm more than willing to help them out with specific information, since I'm not unsympathetic to what Poodle did to them by having the pages deleted, but they were still his pages. Restoring them en masse is not something I'm keen on seeing happen, but if there are a handful of pages with vital information they'd like to use in making new pages, I'm fine with those being undeleted temporarily (I say temporarily, since the "Extremely..." and "Extremly..." pages shouldn't be located there, and now that they been deleted, we shouldn't be undeleting pages in the incorrect namespace) so that they can grab the relevant information. —Aichon— 23:32, 15 August 2010 (BST)

I'd prefer to just gank the information from the deleted pages than restore and re-delete them. 23:45, 15 August 2010 (BST)

Removed from queue. Nobody looks keen to undelete them, so your request is denied.--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 23:49, 15 August 2010 (BST)

Talk:Holland Vs Spain

I'd like to see if there were any other comments made after my departure to sleep. After that it can be re-deleted. This request would not have been necessary, if you guys would have contacted the author next time instead of immediately speeding it, cuz I was planning to put it up for deletion just as well, after taking a look on it.

Speedy deleting a page within hours of creation time without even contacting the author is not good form. Sure the page was crit 2, but nothing of serious harm. If you really were in such a rush then just move to my user-space next time. --Thadeous Oakley 11:11, 12 July 2010 (BST)

Don't blame the sysops for deleting your off topic idiocy. You've been around long enough to know to put that in your user-space somewhere, yourself. I'll move it, but don't make a habit of making stupid pages, and then expecting sysops to clean up after you -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 11:39 12 July 2010 (BST)

UDWiki:Administration/Policy Discussion/Petition to Unban JR streets

Yes, this was a stupid policy proposal that was defeated. But I don't believe in deleting wiki history, especially for the fact that that this was a Policy. It's similar to that of Rasher's Policy Proposal to unban Amazing and ban Rasher instead. And since that Policy Proposal wasn't deleted, I can't help but think that this Policy shouldn't be deleted either.--ShadowScope^{'the true enemy'} 22:03, 14 June 2010 (BST)

It's, um, still there. I can't restore it if it's not gone. 22:06, 14 June 2010 (BST)

This is true. =/ And it never became a policy...it got shot down. -- Cheese 22:40, 14 June 2010 (BST)

Image:Judgewood Factory.jpg and Image:Cridge Alley.jpg

Two images which I originally uploaded for Mis' writing contest, but were forgotten when I was sidetracked by that dreaded four letter word (WORK!), and were rightly wiped as a scheduled deletion. I'd like to have these restored for use in Factory 12,10 and Cridge Alley Railway Station - I can haz undeleet? Chief Seagull squawk 09:25, 11 June 2010 (BST)

We can't undelete images, but you can always reupload them. --  RoosterDragon  09:45, 11 June 2010 (BST)

You could always ask if the deleter saved it as an emergency archive, I used to save (and still have) the images I deleted those months ago --

 

 

 

 

10:18, 11 June 2010 (BST)

I'll re-upload them then (assuming I can find them). Cheers guys. Chief Seagull squawk 10:39, 11 June 2010 (BST)

User:Iscariot

Whether he wants it or not, since when do we delete users? He's been here for so long, and his name links on allot pages. Also his talkpage is a soon to be crit 5 trap waiting to be tripped. Just because he decides to leave doesn't mean we should delete his existence on this wiki. I'm also not at all happy with Misantrophy handling Izzy request off-site, all sysops actions and motivations should be recorded on the wiki. (in other words, Iscariot should have requested his deletion on A/D, not through some private site) --Thadeous Oakley 16:42, 6 May 2010 (BST)

Agreed and Undeleted. If he wants it deleted he can come and indicate on the wiki or evidence can be provided (screenshot or irc log) that he wishes as such. -- Cheese 17:09, 6 May 2010 (BST)

So much for "vote overruled in favour of author request". It's his fucking page and he can do what he wants. I see your faith in trusting the sysop team has made you a credit to the force Cheese. --

 

 

 

 

01:18, 7 May 2010 (BST)

Grim just contacted me via telepathy... he wants his page deleted. Can I do it, plz? Huh, huh?
Seriously, there's nothing stopping Iscariot from making an on-wiki request, so that we know he does want it gone -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 09:49 7 May 2010 (BST)

Do it, I won't be the one putting you up for A/M so your argument doesn't really stick with me :/ --

 

 

 

 

09:53, 7 May 2010 (BST)

Page ownership, personal contact confirms he doesn't want it.

WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU PEOPLE LISTENING TO THAD, AND YET AGAIN USING THE MOST BULLSHIT EXCUSES TO FUCK WITH PEOPLE? I'm looking at you Cheese, Thad. You guys have a long history of not liking iz (well, thad just likes stirring shit, for the most part), so you two shouldn't have had anything to do with this.

He is gone from the wiki. If Grim had opted for his page to be deleted, or hell, anyone else, upon leaving, it'd be respected. It's time to grow up guys.

Also, pretty sure Grim WOULD be happy if you deleted his page. People can't steal his work so easily then.--Big Cat 17:43, 7 June 2010 (BST)

SHADOW COMPANY

Should be recreated as the redirect to Extinction/SHADOW COMPANY. SHADOW COMPANY is fairly well up the stats page -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 10:31 5 May 2010 (BST)

Hmmm. (more backseat modding? :S) but if it's a simple redirect you want, you shouldn't really have to go through here. As long as shadow company is a confirmed faction of EXTINCTION then nothing should be wrong with this imo... --

 

 

 

 

18:16, 5 May 2010 (BST)

I tend to agree that it could have just been redirected without a request here, but, regardless, I've undeleted it, just to handle it officially. —Aichon— 19:54, 5 May 2010 (BST)

Oh. Seeing deleted pages is such a missed perk, I assure you :( I didn't realise it was a redirect in the first place, so Boxy had the right idea anyway. --

Sometimes I wish DDR was still a sysop. But then I see little nuggets of wisdom and joy that bring a smile to my face because I know that I can't say them and I know that he wouldn't have said them if he was still a sysop. Now I'm conflicted. I think the only solution is more DDR. Can we get a cloning vat ready sometime soon? —Aichon— 10:15, 7 May 2010 (BST)

Past undeletions can be found in the archives.
