Deleting text from the Wiki is not truly deleted. In normal articles, anyone can look at a previous version and see what was there. If an article is "deleted", any sysop can see what was deleted. Only a developer can permanently delete information from the Wiki and there is no guarantee this will happen except in response to legal action. | Deleting text from the Wiki is not truly deleted.
