Description Brion Vibber 2009-01-06 23:39:32 UTC
When attempting to delete a page that no longer exists, there's a message to the effect "Could not delete the page or file specified. (It may have already been deleted by someone else.)"

This is displayed in plain text formatting, which doesn't look very error-y. If you're not paying attention, it doesn't look that much different from the success message.

It would probably make sense to mark at least the initial part using the error/warning class (big red text) for consistency with other errors. The later explanatory text ("may have been deleted by someone else") can be left in plain text.

(Customized text on for instance English Wikipedia goes on to add a bunch of other links after this as well. We definitely wouldn't want to just wrap the existing message in a <div class='error'>)

How can a page be deleted when its already deleted by someone else ? I tried deleting an already deleted page but there wasn't any "delete" option for that page. Could you tell me more clearly ?

i guess it happens when two admins click the "delete" link. Then one actually deletes the page, and the other tries to, from the deletion form, but it fails. Havn't tried it though.
