Maintenance guidelines
The Maintenance guidelines define the use and function article tags used in article maintenance.

Maintenance policy
Deletion policy
Pages and images in the openSUSE wiki can only be deleted by administrators.
- Administrators should refer to this policy when deciding to delete pages or images.
- Non-administrators can ask for page deletions by inserting a {{delete|Reason}} or {{SpeedDelete|Reason}} tag into the page.
Criteria for immediate deletion:
- Nonsense - text with no meaning, random characters, blank.
- Test Pages - testing should be done in your user page or the Sandbox.
- Deletion requested by the only contributor - administrators should check the page's history.
- Breaks the openSUSE Rules of conduct.
If a page doesn't meet the criteria for immediate deletion, then it should not be deleted immediately.
Protected page policy
Only a very few pages can be edited by administrators only.
- Please ask an administrator to correct or improve such pages.
- Administrators should be careful. Make sure that you know what you are doing!
