Wikipedia:Selective deletion
The MediaWiki software allows administrators to remove individual revisions from the history of a page. Since the introduction of the RevisionDelete tool, it is used only for handling complex page history merges - see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Fixing cut-and-paste moves.
This process is deprecated in favor of Wikipedia:Revision deletion for simply removing an edit from the history and should not be used except for handling of complex history merges |
