[xwiki-users] Accidently deleted wiki
We were creating a tutorial wiki for our company. During the making of it, we wanted to delete a space by clicking XWiki drop down menu on the home page and clicking delete. Instead of deleting the space the whole wiki got deleted... Is there a way to retrieve the lost content? Regards, Mikhail

Yes, we really need a way to undelete a space or even the whole wiki from the recycle bin… I guess you could check this script: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/RestoreSpace BTW, were you using the filesystem for storing attachments? Thanks -Vincent

Space and wiki are two very different use cases, you can't restore a wiki because deleting a wiki delete the database/schema in which it's stored.

Indeed if you have deleted the wiki in the wiki index then it’s lost unfortunately if you don’t have backups. sorry -Vincent

If this is the issue here, then maybe the UI should make it harder to delete wikis ? I.e. the way github does it of you want to delete a repository: you have to type in the name of the repository manually a second time before it is really deleted. That is intentionally inconvenient to make accidental deletion by "random button clicking" impossible. Just an idea Clemens

Yes we’ve discussed this several times AFAIR and we all agree but I couldn’t find the jira issue when searching this morning. If you find please reference it here. Maybe we should create a new jira issue just to be sure we don’t forget this and tackle it sooner than later. Thanks -Vincent

Ah, I forgot about that it is decided already ... Anyway, as I could not find the issue either, I created a new one: http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-11814 Proposed layout could be better, I guess :D but aside of that I could look into it in the next days ... Clemens

Thank you for fast replies! It is unfortunate that wiki is impossible to recover, we will have to start over. I am glad that you are looking into updating the system already, it is very easy to make same mistake as we did. Have a great day!
