Marking a page as deleted

To mark a page as deleted (or, conversely, to restore a deleted page) we set the <sitebuilder:deleted> element. This allows us to perform Sitebuilder two-stage deletes, where a page can be deleted but not purged (the Atom Publishing Protocol DELETE method actually purges the page, see Purging a page).

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:sitebuilder="http://go.warwick.ac.uk/elab-schemas/atom">
  <sitebuilder:deleted>true</sitebuilder:deleted>
</entry>

With this saved as deletepage.atom:

mat@augustus:~$ curl -i -X PUT --data-binary @deletepage.atom -H 'Content-Type: application/atom+xml' -u cuscav
   "https://sitebuilder.warwick.ac.uk/sitebuilder2/edit/atom/atom.htm?page=/fac/sci/chemistry/mynewpage&type=single"

</entry>

This is identical to the response for editing the content of a page. If we set <sitebuilder:deleted> to true, we can restore a deleted page.
