If the page has recently been deleted: the deletion report (who deleted it, when and why). If the page was deleted after 23 December 2004 (the date of the MediaWiki 1.4 upgrade), all deletions and restorations will appear. If the page has not been restored yet: the deleted page history. To undelete all revisions, simply press the Restore button.
Admins may wish to see deleted pages for various reasons, including while participating at DRV, explaining why a page was deleted, or investigating a potential sockpuppet. Some admins also provide copies of deleted pages to non-admins while completing similar tasks. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to view a deleted page without restoring it.

This page is for appeals to restore deleted pages (and also for appeals to delete pages which were closed as "keep'" in an AfD discussion). Before you do so, read the section, "What is this page for?", which explains that DRV is for cases where you believe the process was wrong, or where "significant new information has come to light."

Wikipedia administrators often delete pages and media in accordance with our deletion policy. This page explains how to find out why a particular page or file was removed, and what you can do about a deletion you disagree with. Do not despair: none of the information on a "deleted" page has actually been lost. Continue reading for details.
