Welcome to the Scratchpad User Help page. This page is here to offer a central location for those who are participating with the development of this wiki to make general requests for help. For Administrator help, go here.

Ambox notice  Note to users: Once a solution has been presented and implemented, please add the {{resolved|1=~~~~}} template with explanation (i.e., |1=), if the request has not already been archived. This is to help other users know when to archive completed requests.

Instructions:

What this page is for:

  • Coding help. Requesting help with writing templates, making a nice user page, improving your miniwiki’s main page, or any questions on using wikitext can be asked here, and users will help to the best of their ability.
  • Requests for non-administrative actions. If help is required with an action (e.g., moving a page), asking users here for help with that action is perfectly acceptable.
  • Questions on how the wiki works. All the policies and processes in use at Scratchpad may seem a little overwhelming at first. If you need help in understanding any of the policies, or more in depth instructions on a process, asking here is a good start.
  • Other questions to the users of the wiki. Any simple question may be asked here for a quick response.
  • An all-in-one place to put things. Many of the Wiki’s procedures are lesser-known, so putting a note here is a good way to do something if the correct procedure is not known.

Technical Deletion meaning?[]

I want to know what exactly is meant by "Technical Deletion", otherwise known as Housekeeping. A very useful page for a game with a convuluted method of downloading it got deleted via Housekeeping, and it's entirely unhelpful to have no idea why something was deleted. —The preceding unsigned comment was made by Ragterr (talkcontribs) 14:55, August 18, 2014‎ (UTC).

Pictogram voting comment Administrator Note: Ragterr, would you please tell me the name of the page? Better yet, would you please provide me with the link? I cannot investigate why a page was deleted unless I know which page you’re asking about. Face-smile Thanks!SpikeToronto 08:12, August 19, 2014 (UTC)
P.S. Also, I cannot undelete the page until I know which one it is. Face-smile Thanks!SpikeToronto 07:43, September 1, 2014 (UTC)
P.P.S. You might find this admin blog useful: Have You Had Your Favorite Page Deleted?. — SpikeToronto 15:22, September 2, 2014 (UTC)

Crazychaos, as far as I can tell, the issue was most likely the spelling of villains. You need to spell it in the categories as villains (i.e., –ains not –ians). Hope that helps! — SpikeToronto 02:50, May 10, 2015 (UTC)
