Hey folks! I did do a quick search before posting, and see that there's a way to request a wiki deletion via the Stewards' noticeboard, but I'm struggling to wrap my head around that system. Could a Steward please step in and make/execute the deletion request on my behalf?

I'm looking to delete my own private wiki, the Slipgate Wiki, for which I'm the only user (it was for a writing project that's now abandoned). The wiki has been mostly inactive since 2019, and I've finally decided to stop hogging server space and let it die after archiving its contents.

Cheers!

What part of the noticeboard system do you not understand if you don’t mind me asking?

I understand it in theory, but not in practice – generally I'm just unfamiliar with a lot of mediawiki formatting. Don't want to make a fool of myself by fucking up the template :P
