So I go to check on Meta Knight vs Lucario and Link vs Pit...

And they're back... or rather, only by name. According to the history, Maxevil's versions never existed... so it was basically reset.

I was aware during my time as admin that one could bring back a deleted page in its entirety, but here... I really don't know if the the original battles can even be recovered at this point.

It would have been one thing if Maxevil or any other user asked to have their old battles deleted, but the fact that two of the oldest fights on the Wiki were erased in their entirety without any permission, notification or warning when no such rule exists with which to be enforced goes too far, I feel.

I never wanted to delete completed battles for their quality, but as I've said before, I'm not an admin anymore and don't have any authority over this matter. The bare minimum I want to do is start a conversation on this matter, on whether or not this is something that the admins, mods AND the community want.

Honestly, one of my biggest mistakes, if not, the biggest I made as admin was going ahead guns-blazing and putting in effect whatever change or policy I wanted without consulting either the admins or the community. Now all of the admins and mods are good guys, and I'll NEVER come close to saying that they're abusing their power, attempting to do all this in secret, or that they're deleting battles because of a personal motive... I just don't want them to repeat my mistakes.

I just want a conversation to take place, for everyone to have their say, and then agree on what direction the Wiki goes moving forward. That's all I ask of everyone... to just talk it over.
