Hello, Normally it would be no challenge at all to delete a page/article. However, some of my articles, that I recently created, must be named incorrectly. I believe I have punctuation that is not allowed in a url/path/article name. So, when I click on the link, I get a Not Found 404 error. On the front of my wiki I had a Recent articles list showing. So, even though my site doesn't like the way I named the articles (I think it didn't like the comma), they are showing up as new articles. In fact, I have 3 copies of an article in one or two cases and only one of them is named such that the link works. The problem is that I don't know how to delete these pages that don't work, so they don't show up in a Recent Articles listing. Can someone help, Thanks, Bruce
Just a guess that you're using short urls?
Just find the actual path to mediawiki and append ?action=delete&title=url+encoded+title+here
so:
