The revision deletion feature, also known as revdel, allows you to hide certain revisions of a page. You can either delete the edit summary, the edit itself, or the person who performed the edit. If you use revision deletion, the revision is hidden to all regular users, however, anyone else with sysop rights can also see it.
The [[Test Wiki:Revision deletion|revision deletion]] feature, also known as revdel, allows you to hide certain revisions of a page. You can either delete the edit summary, the edit itself, or the person who performed the edit. If you use revision deletion, the revision is hidden to all regular users, however, anyone else with sysop rights can also see it.


To delete a revision, click the check mark next to it, then click the “change visibility of selected revisions” button, which is right above the page history. Then, you will be taken into a menu, where you can choose how to hide the revision. If you’re just testing the feature, make sure to put “test” in the edit summary to avoid confusion. You should then un-hide the revision, unless you have a reason other than testing purposes to hide it. However, if that is the case, you should use an appropriate edit summary.
