Clarification

On the main article, regarding the deletion of one own talk page or sandbox, it says this:

"If you wish to clear your user talk page or sandbox, just blank it."

Does this mean, just Edit it and delete everything (which leaves a copy in the View History page), or is there a tool that actually blanks it? Some clarification would be appreciated. Raven-14 (talk) 12:45, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Does this mean, just Edit it and delete everything (which leaves a copy in the View History page) Yes; the policy which governs what you can/can't do with your own talkpage is at WP:UOWN. More experienced users tend to archive material they want off their talkpages rather than blanking it. How to do that can be found at WP:ARCHIVE. Grandpallama (talk) 13:39, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Relists not working anymore

Seems something must've changed recently with how the bot relists discussions. There have now been multiple discussions relisted in the past few weeks, but these discussions are not moving to the Date which the relist occurred. Something is broken. Steel1943 (talk) 03:10, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

MFD request: Misplaced Pages:Why is BFDI not on Misplaced Pages?

I believe this page was created in response to an onslaught of articles here related to BFDI or other shows inspired by it, however, this page is probably not needed any more, and may violate WP:POINT. I couldn't find any coverage of BFDI in news sources from when the page was written, but there is some news coverage of BFDI now. While this news coverage is likely not enough to warrant a full article, the very nature of this essay is preventing an article on BFDI from ever being written. Maybe this should be a footnote in WP:GNG, but to me, it just seems like an example of WP:GNG that will probably become invalid in the near-future and is preventing an article on BFDI from existing. 74.108.22.119 (talk) 12:18, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
