| ikonia | gents what is the correct process to delete a wiki page from https://help.ubuntu.com ? | 19:45 |
|---|---|---|
| jpds | ikonia: Remove its content? | 19:56 |
| ikonia | jpds: I wanted to remove the whole page | 20:25 |
| ikonia | basiclly the page is nonsense and not worth the effort of making it a real doc as it's just nonsense content, yet can be quiet dangerous | 20:26 |
| jpds | ikonia: My guess is only sysadmins can do that. | 20:30 |
| ikonia | that would seem logical, | 20:30 |
| ikonia | I couldn't get the owner to delete it (I believe that is an option) I'll speak to the site admins | 20:31 |
| Flannel | ikonia: get rid of the bad stuff (even if thats the whole page) in the meantime | 20:32 |
| jpds | ikonia: You can contact the SA team at rt@ubuntu.com . | 20:33 |
| j1mc | um, i think you can just delete the page | 20:33 |
| j1mc | you don't need a sysadmin to do it | 20:33 |
| j1mc | oh, sorry... it's not on wiki.ubuntu.com, but help.ubuntu.com? | 20:34 |
| j1mc | what is the url? | 20:34 |
| j1mc | ping ikonia | 20:34 |
| j1mc | ikonia: ping. :) | 20:34 |
| jpds | Hmm, I can see a "Remove spam" option. | 20:37 |
| jpds | Ah, not allowed to use that option :) | 20:38 |
| ikonia | there is a "remove page" option too, but I only thing thats the owner | 20:39 |
| j1mc | ikonia: what is the url? | 20:42 |
| ikonia | j1mc: grabbing it | 20:45 |
| ikonia | j1mc: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomizationFromScratch | 20:46 |
| ikonia | j1mc: I've put as many warnings and santisied it to as least danger as possible | 20:46 |
| ikonia | but to be honest - it's nonsense | 20:46 |
| j1mc | ikonia: looking, thx | 20:52 |
| Flannel | Why wouldn't you just use the alternate CD in expert mode? | 20:52 |
| Flannel | Or even just the alternate CD to install a CLI, then add/subtract | 20:53 |
| ikonia | Flannel: the guy who wrote it was trying to troll | 20:56 |
| ikonia | Flannel: he was an idiot | 20:56 |
| ikonia | (to be blunt about it) | 20:56 |
| Flannel | ikonia: Just edit away the entire page, and put "use the alternate CD" or whatever. | 20:58 |
| ikonia | I'd rather get rid of it | 20:58 |
| ikonia | see what j1mc thinks | 20:58 |
| ikonia | it serves no purpose, and actually what he's wrote doesn't work at all | 20:58 |
| ikonia | so I'd rather get rid of it as a "nonsense" page as it doesn't do what it says, it's dangerous and no-one really wants/needs it | 20:59 |
| j1mc | ikonia: i thought i would see a delete button of some kind, but i don't see one. | 21:13 |
| ikonia | j1mc: I can see one, but I can't hover over it | 21:34 |
| j1mc | hmm | 21:35 |
| j1mc | yes, it looks grayed out. | 21:36 |
| ikonia | I'll mail one of the admins | 21:37 |
| ikonia | seems the best approach | 21:37 |
| Rocket2DMn | what are we looking at? | 21:39 |
| ikonia | Rocket2DMn: a nonsense wiki post | 21:45 |
| Rocket2DMn | oh no, not another one of those | 21:46 |
| Rocket2DMn | is it on the community wiki or team wiki? | 21:46 |
| ikonia | community | 21:46 |
| Rocket2DMn | page? | 21:46 |
| ikonia | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomizationFromScratch | 21:46 |
| Rocket2DMn | that shouldnt even be on the community wiki | 21:48 |
| Rocket2DMn | "This document could potentially cause damage to your system and will have many errors in while it is is currently in development." | 21:48 |
| Rocket2DMn | if it's not safe, it really shouldn't be on the community docs | 21:49 |
| ikonia | afreed | 21:50 |
| ikonia | agreed | 21:50 |
| ikonia | I've put as many warnings as possible on it and removed as much danger as possible short of re-writing it | 21:50 |
| ikonia | but as the topic is a.) missed by the document b.) dangerous c.) not needed seems sensible to get rid of it | 21:51 |
| Rocket2DMn | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tag#Candidate%20for%20moving | 21:51 |
| Rocket2DMn | not sure id even want it on the team wiki, but that area is more of a sandbox than the community docs | 21:51 |
| ikonia | I'd just want it gone | 21:51 |
| ikonia | I'll drag a mail to the wiki admin | 21:51 |
| Rocket2DMn | ah mdke isnt even here | 21:53 |
| * Rocket2DMn considers deleting the page himself | 22:02 | |
| Rocket2DMn | guess we better wait to see what our wiki god has to say about it | 22:06 |
| * ikonia summons wiki god | 22:22 | |
| jpds | ikonia: Who? | 22:22 |
| ikonia | the wiki god | 22:22 |
| Rocket2DMn | lol yeah that would be mdke, a few of us act as his humble servants | 22:24 |
| jpds | ikonia: Well they're not living up to their name. | 22:25 |
| ikonia | clearly | 22:31 |
| Rocket2DMn | ah, this team just needs some love, thats all | 22:32 |
