: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. - | :Updated answer to questions regarding the deletion of pages in the wiki: There are two separate "Delete" request maintenance templates.
