...from the database entirely. This would be really helpful for demos, and a number of problems we've run into.

A helpful workaround sometimes is to rename a card before deleting it.

Is it? What if someone wants to delete one card completely but leave the rest of the trash alone?

still curious - any reason not to reopen this, at least as an Idea?

--John Abbe.....2013-04-20 20:34:06 +0000

it's fine as an idea. I would think think it might be hard to justify extra interface just for this. Would the normal process for demos be to empty the trash? And for other problems, wouldn't it be best to fix them?

Right now at least I'm not thinking of it for fixing problems, but for completely removing from the web old content that people want to completely eliminate, without having to do that for their entire Wagn. Agree re not wanting it to add much if any new interface. A related need - ability to delete old revisions of a single card

oh, yeah, I can see interface for deleting an individual revision being very unobtrusive. I think that makes more sense than removing the card altogether. maybe this should be wrapped into the revision overhaul discussion. don't remember offhand where that is.

I was thinking just a 'delete all non-current revisions' thing, but you mean choose revision by revision which ones to delete?
