I've been puzzling over this one for a while.
There is a page on the OOo Wiki that is in the Category:Candidates for speedy deletion: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/User_Experience/Improving_OOo_Defau... http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Category:Candidates_for_speedy_dele...
Normally, that means someone has added {{delete}} somewhere in the page. The problem is... I cannot see the {{delete}} anywhere in the page in question... nor does it seem to be in a template the page uses... yet somehow the page has landed in the delete category (and it's been there a long time).
It's possible I'm blind... :-)
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions why the page is showing up in the delete category? Is something broken on the database side that would do this? Or is there some way the {{delete}} can sneak into a page unintentionally (eg from transcluded content, which as far as I can see the page does not have)?

Hi,
The page marked for speedy deletion is actually
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/w/index.php/Page_of_Issues_on_Improving_... which is a redirect to the page you mentioned.

Aha... I was being blind. I hadn't thought of digging for a redirect.
Thanks Daniel... much appreciated.

My wiki was vandalized recently and there is a huge amount of edits and new pages that I need to remove. Is there a way to do this without doing them all at once?
