Today, Nubis deleted a lot of older NT scan .pngs because they do not currently link to anything. That's because many of the scan .png files were replaced on their NT pages with an animated "static" .gif image to illustrate that they need a new scan. However, the older images were not truly orphans. If someone were to want to update the NTs now, it would be more convenient to retain those old pictures so that a) there is no confusion about what filename and type the updated image should use, b) there is the convenience of the "upload a new version of this image," rather than leave someone confused as to why no image exists currently, and c) the original images have a record of the previous revisions, which is useful information.{{User:Extropymine/sig}} 01:01, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

:Images cannot be undeleted. If the images were in use (read, placed on a page) then this is a case for misconduct. If they were not in use then they qualify for a scheduled deletion as they were classed as dead images, image ark anything yoiu might need in future. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 01:07, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
<!--''There are no recent actions.''-->
::Well, it's not the end of the world, it just makes for a little more inconvenient work when those NTs need to be updated with new NecroNet scans. We'll live. {{User:Extropymine/sig}} 03:33, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
:::Yeah, what Iscariot said. Make a page like [[NecroWatch/scans]], and link to all of them. Then they won't qualify for the scheduled deletion. By the way, the ability to undelete images can be enabled (or so I've read,) on this version, but it comes default in this newest one... although it needs to be upgraded. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 05:56, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

:Here's the thing. It was Crit 7 but, there are two things. Cyberbob can come by and be willing to wave that by saying he's for the undeletion, if he in-fact is. Or, we can continue the discussion from IRC and decide if we want to treat Template pages as public and beyond author ownership once in use.

:Further discussion has been had at least a bit, I'm gonna treat this as an un-owned page and undelete for now.

--[[User:MisterGame|Thadeous Oakley]] 14:46, 17 January 2009 (UTC)


The vote was on a page that ought to have been immediately deleted as a deletion workaround, and the poster slapped with a vandal warning. So that "vote" doesn't matter a whit. In any event, [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/UDWiki:Administration/Deletions#Umbrella_Corporation.2FReport the vote] was not over and thus there was no final decision made, either way.
==='''[[User:Jack%27s_Inflamed_Sense_Of_Rejection]]'''===


Bottom line is that the page in question is libellous, violates privacy and is in all regards wholly inappropriate content for this wiki. That's why it was deleted in the first place. --[[User:WanYao|WanYao]] 15:47, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

First, learn to format, please. Second, request denied. Ignoring all of the deletion vote drama the page is mostly a chat log. You can not expand upon chat logs. This isn't your livejournal where people want to read your chat logs. Why in the hell would you post a chat log?  Not to mention, maybe if a few of these hate pages were nipped in the bud it could cool down the flame war between you two (not you, Wan - the Umbrellas). Besides, you haven't shown a good enough reason to justify recreating or restoring that page.--{{User:Nubis/sig}} 18:25, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

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.

Due to the new software update, images deleted from the wiki after 21st April 2011 can be undeleted. Images deleted prior to this date unfortunately cannot be restored.

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.

I’d do it myself but, y’know….
  • User would like her user page restored.
The deletion was valid, as I believe can be confirmed by Spiderzed in addition to Aichon and myself if necessary, but was ineffective at the time and is in any case no longer required.
I have the user’s explicit authorisation to post this request.
