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:
http://www.yourwiki.com/w/index.php?action=delete&title=something
