== Deleting Categories/Reverting Edits == First I would like to know how to delete categories/articles after they have been voted for deletion. Second, I want to know how to revert the edits made by vandals to the last correct version. Does it have to be done manually? Thanks, -[[User:Erolos|Erolos]] 13:03, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC) Only admins can delete articles from VfD - that's why they're known as the custodians, they take out the trash. Anyone can revert vandalism. To revert, click the old version of the article you want to revert back to. Click edit this page and save. It'll warn you that you're overlaying the existing article, but if you're reverting vandalism, that's what you want to do. If someone vandalized the article, but then other people made positive changes to the article, you have to revert it by hand. [[User:Salasks|Salasks]] 15:52, Aug 6, 2004 (UTC)
