Business/Announcements

 * Working on the Maintanence Page:Category:Deletion Requests, the page Philippines Websites has brought up several question of how to deal with the links that may be left on a page marked for deletion.  This page has a major template that holds all the links.  So what are the options and how to clear the links off this page.Sandralpond 19:14, 21 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Was there a replacement page anywhere with a different title that was set up to replace Philippines Websites? There's a possibility the page is orphaned somewhere with a different title and I think once we find that we could move the template with its data to the newer page.
