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.

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)

Yay! -- » JS talk contribs » 00:32, 15 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 --

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. --

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 :/ --

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... --

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. --

A/PM :P -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 10:28 6 May 2010 (BST)

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.
