Compost Heap

    Keywords: SL description

This wiki contains text deleted in other pages, if there is a chance that it may still have some use.

Typical situations:

 Moved because XYZ convinced me, and I changed the text accordingly.

In these cases, please proceed as follows:

  1. Cut these texts from the original page.
  2. Replace them with a reference such as ''(Moved "Beginning of Text ..." to [Compost Heap])''
  3. Paste text at the bottom of this page, preceded with a link to the source and expiration date (suggested: 1 month).
  4. If there is expired text on this page: Delete it and
  5. delete the expired references to [Compost Heap] in the original pages.

Q&A

Q: We already keep the deleted files in the page history. Why do we need yet another page?

A: It is not so easy to retrieve part of a previous page from the history (especially if you want to keep formatting) and it may be rude to simply delete possibly valuable contributions.

Q: Why not use a Discussion page? for this?

A: If this discussion merits to be kept for posteriority - by all means, put it there. But if you want it to be deleted after a grace period, put it on this page.

Sprouting

When you keep a compost heap, it sometimes happens that seeds sprout from the material you deposited. If you see this happening here, take them out carefully and plant them on a page where they can grow, before they get deleted on this page.
