I have to say, that was kinda awe-inspiring.
Admin Scientizzle caused sheer mayhem and shut down Wikipedia for 90 minutes by deleting the Sandbox.. It was the longest 90 minutes of my entire, rather sad life. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/laugh.gif) |

Did it come back by itself or did it require Developer intervention? This post has been edited by Castle Rock: |

Brion had to get involved. Apparently, now there's a revisions cap of 5,000 entries on deleting files. Does this mean that articles with more than 5,000 revisions are undeleteable, or does it mean the "Delete" key will only affect the most recent 5,000 revisions on said article? Greg |

Greg As I understand it, MediaWiki will display an error message, so I guess those files are now beyond the remit of the average admin now. |
