I vote for removal.
I've noticed a couple of wiki contributors recently doing large-scale
page deletions. In some cases, these are then reverted by irritated page
owners¹.
Can people please first tag pages they think should be removed into
CategoryProposedDeletion² and add a banner to the affected pages:
there's a template banner at the top of CategoryProposedDeletion
that can be copied and pasted.
Then wait an interval of at least 14 days³ before deleting the pages, in
order to give people a chance to review the proposal?
[1] e.g. <https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Mutt?action=diff&rev1=12&rev2=13>
[2] <https://wiki.debian.org/CategoryProposedDeletion>
[3] interval proposed at <https://wiki.debian.org/MaythamAlsudany/DraftContentGuidelines/Discussion>.
I hope we can update <https://wiki.debian.org/DebianWiki/EditorGuide#delete> accordingly.
