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:
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.
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.
