| About BoyWiki |
The BoyWiki deletion policy describes how pages that do not meet the relevant criteria for content of BoyWiki are identified and removed from BoyWiki. Pages that violate BoyWiki policy or infringe on copyright will be deleted without discussion. If you are the copyright holder of any text or non-text media found on BoyWiki and wish it removed, email: info@boywiki.org See BoyWiki:Terms of Service ( Notification must be text only as we can not receive or open .zip files.)
Deletion of a BoyWiki article removes the current version and all previous versions from public view. Unlike page blanking, which can be performed (or reverted) by any user, only administrators can perform deletion, view deleted pages, and reverse ("undelete") any deletion. If in doubt as to whether there is consensus to delete a page, administrators normally will not delete it.
- Articles proposed for deletion should be placed in Category:Articles proposed for deletion for discussion by adding {{APD}} or {{Delete}} to the top of the page and an explanation should be added to the Discussion page.
- BoyWiki Council or Free Spirits administrative action. The BoyWiki Council and our host Free Spirits reserves the right to blank or delete any page, in full or in part, at any time without giving a reason.
