           Summary: Users should be able to delete pages and image files
                    they create/upload accidentally
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Deleting
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


It's fairly common for folks, especially newbies, to post a page or upload an
image file that they didn't really mean to -- testing something, or
accidentally on the wrong wiki, or picked the wrong file.

Currently a regular visitor can't fully delete his/her own contributions, even
seconds after adding it. This ends up leading to confusion, frustration, and
burden on admins as the user tries to contact someone to get it deleted, or it
just sits around until someone finds it.

It probably makes sense to allow a contributor to retract a new upload or page
without requiring admin intervention, at least within some sensible time limit.
