In most areas of a wiki, when you delete something, it's fully deleted. However, for Message Wall messages, it seems to work like hiding the messages than an actual delete. The steps I take are this:


 * 1) Go to the invidiual topic on the person's Message Wall (the Thread number). This won't work if you're just looking at the list of topics from their main Message Wall.
 * 2) Click on the Remove option and provide a reason.
 * 3) Refresh the page to make the message reappear.
 * 4) Click on the Delete option and provide a reason.

At this point, the message is "deleted" since you can't normally see it. However, if you go to a user's Contributions page and click on the timestamp of a MW message, you can still read it.

In order to more-thoroughly delete a message, such as in the cases of trolling and vandalism, I may go in and edit the individual messages as step # 1.5 to replace the content with something like a period or a non-breaking space. That way, if someone clicks on the timestamp, all they see is the blank message.

However, that does not prevent someone from going into the History of the Message Wall thread and recovering the message through the timestamps there.

So, is there any way to simply this and just delete a Message Wall message like you can do with Blog comments and Article comments?
