Bearbeiten von „Memory Alpha Nova:Löschrichtlinien“

Von Zeit zu Zeit ist es nötig, Seiten aus der Memory Alpha-datenbank zu löschen. Während jeder Benutzer in der Lage ist, die Seite zu leeren (also den gesamten Inhalt zu löschen), der originale Text wird immer noch in der Versionen-Übersicht für andere Benutzer verfügbar sein - und auch wiederherstellbar, wenn man möchte. Wenn eine Seite slao gelöscht wird, werden alle Versionen, vergangene und aktuelle, aus dem Wiki entfernt.

Nur [[Memory Alpha:Administratoren|] haben die Befugnis, Seiten in Memory Alpha zu löschen oder wiederherzustellen. Wir vertrauen dem Urteilsvermögen unserer Administratoren, mit dem sie entscheiden ob eine Seite gelöscht werden soll oder nicht. Trotzdem müssen auch Administratoren dem unten beschiebenen ''Prozess'' folgen um Entscheidungen zu treffen.

 

== Prezedur zum Löschen ==

Um zum Löschen einer Seite aufzufordern, platzere es auf der passenden Liste:

* [[Memory Alpha:Possible copyright infringements]] - for possible copyright infringements, both images and pages.

* [[Memory Alpha:Images for deletion]] - for images and image description pages, not including possible copyright infringements

* [[Memory Alpha:Pages for immediate deletion]] - for redirects, non-[[canon]] articles, and other uncontroversial pages.

* [[Memory Alpha:Aufräumen]] - wenn du nicht sicher bist ob löschen die beste Lösung ist.

Nach einer angemessenen Wartezeit (allgemein fünf Tage, kann aber vom Format abhängen), wird die Seite von einem Administrator gelöscht - '' wenn und auch nur wenn ein [[Memory Alpha:Deletion guidelines for administrators#rough_consensus|grober Konsens]] zur Löschung erreicht ist.

* '''was anderes''' (eine andere Vorgehendweise)

=== Lag Times ===

The '''lag time''' is the amount of time that an article must be listed as a candidate for deletion before it may be deleted by an administrator. This gives other contributors the chance to comment on whether they believe that deletion is the appropriate course of action.

* [[Memory Alpha:Possible copyright infringements|Possible copyright infringements]] - about a week

* [[Memory Alpha:Images for deletion|Images for deletion]] - about a week

* [[Memory Alpha:Pages for immediate deletion|Pages for immediate deletion]] - no delay

* [[Memory Alpha:Votes for deletion|Votes for deletion]] - five days

''The remainder of this section (up to the "Candidates for speedy deletion" heading) is still only a proposed version of the policy; please discuss at [[Memory Alpha talk:Deletion_policy]]:''

To request that a page (or image) be permanently deleted,  

**has at least 15 non-minor article edits logged

:Regardless of the above requirements, the page's initial author may vote (once).

At the end of five days, if '''2/3 majority''' vote to delete, the page will be removed.  '''Otherwise the page remains.''' The page will also remain if it has been improved enough since the initial listing that the reason for listing no longer applies anymore.  This requires that a reason be given initially.

=== Candidates for Immediate Deletion ===

# No meaningful content or history (eg "sdhgdf"). See [[Memory Alpha:Patent nonsense|patent nonsense]].

# Pages created and edited solely by a banned user, after they were banned (see [[Memory Alpha:Bans and blocks|bans and blocks]]).

# New Memory Alpha user home pages accidentally created in main article space. However, move content to their user home page first, and consider waiting a day or two before deleting the resulting redirect.

Administrators may also delete pages for the following technical purposes:

# Temporarily deleting a page in order to [[Memory Alpha:How to rename (move) a page|merge page histories]] after a cut and paste move.

Remember that possible copyright infringements are ''not'' candidates for fast deletion.

Ideally, when an administrator deletes a test page or other page with no useful content, it is helpful to put a note on the author's [[Memory Alpha:talk page|talk page]] explaining things, and preserving the deleted content, pointing them to the [[Memory Alpha:Sandbox|sandbox]] in cases of tests. And remember, [[Memory Alpha:be considerate to new members|be considerate to new members]]!

When you list a page on [[Memory Alpha:Votes for deletion]] that you think will be listed for the entire 5 days (i.e., a page that won't be deleted immediately) it is courteous to let people know it might be deleted. The suggested way is to place the following or similar notice '''above''' the page's content:

: <nowiki>{{msg:deletion}}</nowiki>

: {{msg:deletion}}

Hopefully, this notice will prevent readers and new users from becoming confused as to why a page was removed. ''Please note: [[Memory Alpha:Possible copyright infringements|possible copyright infringements]] have a different suggested notice.''  Please use the "Copyright infringement notice" (<nowiki>{{msg:copyvio1}}</nowiki>) text from the [[Memory Alpha:MediaWiki custom messages|MediaWiki custom messages]] instead.

=== Unlisting a Page from VfD ===

If an alternative solution to deletion has been agreed upon, leave the article listed on [[Memory Alpha:votes for deletion|votes for deletion]] for a few days, along with a notice stating why the page was note deleted. This will help avoid the case of pages being listed for deletion multiple times.

In some cases, the VfD discussion may be useful for developing the article in question, or to prevent the page from being re-listed in the future. In these cases, you should probably move the VfD debate to the article's [[Memory Alpha:talk page|talk page]] where it can be archived. (You might want to use a sub-page to preserve the debate, such as <nowiki>[[talk:NAME/deletion]]</nowiki>).

'''Always include a useful [[Memory Alpha:edit summary|edit summary]]''' when editing the VfD page, especially when unlisting a page, so that the page history of the VfD page can be used as backup archive for discussions that have not been regularly archived.

== What to List on VfD ==

If a page does ''not'' fall into one of the categories for immediate deletion listed above, then the page cannot be deleted without it first being listed on the [[Memory Alpha:votes for deletion|votes for deletion]] page first. However, some pages should not be listed at all, and should just be kept and developed further.

* '''Don't list stubs for articles that have potential''', but list stubs that are nonsensical. Also, [[Memory Alpha:Redirect|redirect]] or list stubs that likely will never become more than a simple definition. See [[Memory Alpha:Stub|fix a stub]].

* '''Don't list articles that just need heavy editing'''; instead, list them on [[Memory Alpha:Pages needing attention|Pages needing attention]]. However, consider listing articles that are just [[Memory Alpha:Patent nonsense|patent nonsense]].

* '''[[Memory Alpha:Redirect|Redirect]] pages should be listed on [[Memory Alpha:pages for immediate deletion|pages for immediate deletion]]''' only if the problems they cause outweigh their advantages. For more info, see our [[Memory Alpha:Redirect#When_should_we_delete_a_redirect?|recommendations on deleting redirects]].

* '''List pages that have no potential as encyclopedia articles'''. This includes non-[[canon]] topics or content, as well as unverifiable material.

* '''List orphan images''' where you can't think of an article where they might be useful.

* '''If a page has ''some'' useful content''' but is too small to even be a [[Memory Alpha:stub|stub]], try moving that content to a different, larger article and change the page into a redirect. However, do list a page if turning it into a redirect would cause problems - see [[Memory Alpha:Redirect#When_should_we_delete_a_redirect?|recommendations on deleting redirects]].
