Luke said to file this. There's apparently a data model issue preventing pages from being deleted. Once this is fixed, we need to delete https://developer.mozilla.org/pt-PT/docs/HTML/testing

We have a huge amount of pages to delete (all the pages tagged with "junk"), mostly useless redirects and results of test/spam.

Do we already have a page deletion feature? Is this about fixing an issue with that feature or building that feature in the first place? If it's the latter, we need to make sure we can restore content that is deleted.

We have the ability, normally, to delete pages. It was temporarily disabled due to bug 863692 -- any attempt to delete now raises an error (which gets emailed to the devs), so that we can track down anything that tries to delete a page in hopes of identifying where those missing pages went.

Where do we stand now on being able to delete pages properly?

If you mean in terms of timeline, we can continue to push this forward as soon as it's mentioned in mdn-drivers. If you mean feature-wise what is available, James should know.

Page deletion should still be disabled. We'll let you know when it's enabled again for general use -- until then if there's a pressing need for deletion, we'll see about working out a temporary/emergency solution.

This replaces deletion with more of a "trash can" effect; a deleted Document remains in the database, but is excluded from queries. A separate "purge" method can actually permanently remove the Document. Additionally, the deletion mechanism differentiates between actual Documents, and redirects; redirects can always just be deleted in one go, rather than lingering in the database. Additional work still needed: 1. UI for trusted users to be able to "purge". 2. Code and UI-level support, when someone attempts to create a new Document with the same locale/slug as a deleted one, for informing the user what's going on and giving them the option to start from the last revision of the deleted Document or just start fresh. https://github.com/mozilla/kuma/commit/3463af19c26b6d3e2d0afb4bd139e2fa1c7d819a Merge pull request #1293 from ubernostrum/page-deletion-824037 Bug 824037: Initial infrastructure to bring back page deletion.

James, this is done, right?

This has been done for ages.
