Forum:How do I delete a category page?

I am admin for this wikia and am trying to delete this particular page..

http://volunteersoutheastasia.wikia.com/wiki/Category:VANG_VIENG

However, the edit scroll down only gives me either 'protect' or 'unprotect' options.

That is, there is no 'delete' option although WIKIA help for 'Category' tells me that there should be.

How do I fix this? —This unsigned comment is by Sanuk (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with !


 * You cannot delete it, because the page hasn't been created yet. Remove the article LAOS from that category, and the page will be gone. -- Weas-El ?  23:54, July 1, 2011 (UTC)

 * Deleting the page LAOS is not what I said. ;-) I had already removed the category before. You cannot delete VANG VIENT because it doesn't exist. Hmm, how do you remove a page from a category using the rich-text editor? I have no idea, I don't use it. Can somebody other explain how to do that? -- Weas-El ?  00:11, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

 * Ok, one step after the other. If you want to restore the deleted page LAOS, you will find a link "restore" here. The category that you're trying to delete, doesn't exist. You cannot delete it. This is a bit hard to understand, I know. A page only exists, if is has content. What you saw before, was a category page with no content, but with an article linking to it. All you had to do was to remove that link from the article LAOS. -- Weas-El ✉  00:26, July 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I think I've almost got it.What I want to do now is remove the tab for VANG VIENG altogether from its position between LOCALITY and Community on the horizontal scroll down menu on the home page. That is, remove any reference to VANG VIENG whatsoever. Is this possible?

 * Yes, that's possible. In the main menu, you'll find small links titled "edit this menu". They link to the page MediaWiki:Wiki-navigation. Editing this menu is a bit complicated, please see Help:Wiki navigation for further details. -- Weas-El ✉  00:48, July 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * It will probably help to search for the page "MediaWiki:Wiki-navigation" in other wikis to see some examples. -- Weas-El ✉  00:50, July 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Great! Thanks very much for your help. will check out those links. Hopefully, that will resolve it.

(reset indent) You're welcome. See this wiki for example and compare the page content with the main menu. You'll quickly understand how it works. -- Weas-El ✉  01:07, July 2, 2011 (UTC)
