Can I invite any student encountering difficulty in editing to seek help at any time from me or my fellow hosts at the Wikipedia Teahouse - it's what our volunteers are there for! Nick Moyes (talk) 13:34, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Author ‎Cbderbylib contests speedy, it's a page for a class/project. Probably simply misplaced. valereee (talk) 18:32, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I'm happy to move it to a more appropriate place, soon as I know where that might be! :) Cbderbylib (talk) 18:37, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Cbderbylib: I'm afraid I missed your post at the Teahouse today, but am pleased the CSD notice was removed by the templater. I think it was done in 'good faith' as a deletion of a "Page dependent on a non-existent or deleted page", but was extremely over-eager. A preliminary discussion would have been better for such an obviously current and active student page.

I have now moved it for you so that it to appears under Wikipedia:Wiki_Ed, which seems to be the correct place for them all to be located. I have also removed the {{G8-exempt}} I added earlier. I a concerned that someone might now CSD the redirect page left behind, causing your students problems if they have linked to the original page

My conclusion is that you didn't quite create the Dashboard in the right way (whatever that actually is!), because now you'll see a big red warning notice saying "DO NOT EDIT THIS PAGE!" You must simply ignore that for now. My understanding is that pages like this one on Wikipedia are first created and edited at https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/, and then mirrored here, but I do not know quite how you deal with this matter retrospectively.

I will leave a message on your behalf at Wikipedia:Education noticeboard to seek some input from the experts and to highlight all the other older education dashboard pages also speedily deleted today, lest it is felt these should be retrieved per WP:REFUND.

@Nick Moyes:Thanks, Nick - much appreciated! Cbderbylib (talk) 07:50, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Nick Moyes and Cbderbylib: Hi Nick, thanks for the ping. I'm glad this page hasn't been deleted and I'll head over the the Education Noticeboard to take a closer look at the situation. Richard Nevell (WMUK) (talk) 09:49, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
