I was going to use my shiny new sysop power to

'delete' button in the menu and it said 'are you really sure' and I
clicked on 'yes I want to continue' and then I got a file 404 error and
the page is still there... is that because I am not actually approved to
delete pages? (fair enough if so) Or is there some kind of buggy thing
creeping in that you should know about? Or did I do something wrong?
The page I was going to get rid of is one that's been cluttering up the
orphans list for the last two months so it's hardly vital to continuing
operations!

I run into this problem a lot. There's a bug in the current code; when you
click on the confirmation link and get the 404, you have to manually edit
the resulting URL to change the URL-encoded "%2F" into a "/". For
some
reason, URL-encoding the slash in the article name screws up Wikipedia's
delete function.
Hopefully, this will be fixed soon. :)
Ah, ok... so when I get the 404 error I have to go up to the url in the
window and change the %2F to a / and hit return and then it will be able
to continue? Just trying to work this out...
