| My first thoughts on this would be to allow pages to be deleted or archived for future deletion. It seems like the number of pages would get out of control after a while. However, broken links could then be a problem unless the task of fixing links is somehow made automatic. Maybe this can be taken care of by not allowing a page to be deleted/archived if other pages are linked to it.

| The other problem could occur if someone does not like what someone else wrote. They can just delete the page. Problems could occur if a battle starts up. Maybe only the author can delete? I am curious how Wikipedia handles all of this.

| :Wikipedia marks pages for deletion, then has an admin actually perform the deletion. Controversial pages are often tagged as such, so admins can know if a page is contested. Currently on this wiki, only admins can actually delete a page, users should mark pages for deletion by replacing the text of the page with 'Deleted'.

| :Updated answer to questions regarding the deletion of pages in the wiki: There are two separate "Delete" request maintenance templates. One is for delete requests that need immediate attention. The second is for delete requests that can be taken care of as time permits. See the delete templates, and all other maintenance templates at [[FamilySearch Wiki:Maintenance Templates]]. Only administrators can delete a page. Prior to fulfilling the requests for deletion the page is checked for unresolved links to the page. -[[User:JensenFA|Fran]] 04:54, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
