How to delete unused article versions
-
Hi, My article has dozens of intermediate versions marked as "Composing" and never published so I wanted to clean the history and remove them before I start making modifications for a new version, but the only button "delete" I see says "delete the article" so I was a bit reluctant. Is it possible to delete an old version without deleting the whole stuff? thanks,

I can nuke them for you, but is there a reason you want them gone?

The only reason is that all intermediate versions that have been saved when composing the text are counted as revisions so my article has 44 "revisions" which is not true, I thought the authors are supposed to do some cleanup. But I can live with it. Otherwise maybe you should count as revisions only the versions that have been submitted - just a suggestion. best Pawel
