Adding Delete button to invent.kde wiki
Closed, WontfixPublic

Description

Hi,
I am missing an important feature of wiki in invent.kde gitlab.
There is not delete button when editing a page like here:
https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/wiki/#deleting-a-wiki-page

I can delete a page using git but this is not that convenient and prone to mistakes from my part.

Could you see if you can enable it please?

Regards,
Emmanuel Charruau

I agree with @echarruau that to exit the wiki and then clone the site with git just to delete a page is convoluted and inconvenient and messes with our workflow, especially when GitLab has a big red "Delete" button at the top of their wiki pages. Do we not have that feature in our GitLab instance?

Deleting a wiki page requires a maintainer permission, we do not provide a maintainer permissions to the developers because that also gives access to some other settings which are otherwise restricted by policy.

So unfortunately only solution is to use the git clone of wiki repository to delete page, or if you want you can file a request to upstream GitLab to allow deletion of wiki page to developers.
