Vincent, I added a comment on the page with my thoughts (not sure of how the continue the discussion - in the users group or on the wiki page).

My rationale is in the comment:

   I got your email and saw your edits, I am just thinking answering
   the question directly and pointing to the documentation would have
   been most helpful to me when I was looking.

   Interesting before I sent the note to the user's list, I searched
   for "xwiki restore deleted document", "xwiki recycle bin" "xwiki
   trash" etc. and did not find the Index Application page. In
   addition, I also searched xwiki.org for "restore deleted page" and
   did not find anything.

   I think the challenge for me as a newbie is that I do not know the
   nomenclature of xwiki yet. I do not know how I (or other newbies)
   would have known to look for the Index Application?

   What do you think? Hope my merging of our efforts is OK?

However your point about maintaining two sets of documentation would be a pain and not a good idea. Maybe I am just addressing the wrong problem. My issue was that I could not find the existing documentation. I restored your version and just added "on how to restore deleted pages/attachments."

Thanks,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,

I see you’ve restored your content that I had moved to the Index Application’s documentation on:
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/How+do+I+restore+a+deleted+page+or+attachment

Do you really believe it’s better to have to maintain 2 places?

My POV was that it’s always easier to maintain a single place and have the FAQ entry point to the right documentation.

If you think the documentation isn’t good enough at http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Index+Application then I believe it might be better to edit that page and improve it, WDYT?

Thanks

Thanks Patrick! Very nice initiative :)

I’ve made some small modifications:
* First I’ve renamed the page so that the page name isn’t too long and I’ve removed the ending question mark since a question mark is automatically added to the title when the FAQ entry is rendered * I’ve linked to the Index Application which is where the documentation is located.

New location: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/How+do+I+restore+a+deleted+page+or+attachment

Thanks
