 Re vandalism in general, I am generally happy using git-revert to kill the

+I don't think we need a second way to delete pages, which would probably be

+On the other hand, clearing the page's whole content essentially means deleting
+the page.  That's what the user intended to do in this case.  The information
+content of an empty vs. a deleted page is essentially the same, I'd say.  But
+having ikiwiki remove those stale pages would save some (minimal, admittedly)
+time needed for manual clean-up.  --[[tschwinge]]

+On EmacsWiki, a page is marked for deletion when it contains just the DeletedPage 
+keyword and if there were no page editions since XX days. Here, I use pages that
+can be empty everyday and filled all day long. It does not make sense to me to 
+delete these pages :). --[[xma]]
