To have a page removed from the Rush University website, you will need to contact a website administrator.
You may find that one of your web pages is no longer relevant and, rather than being updated, it should be deleted entirely. As a content editor, you do not have permissions to delete web pages.
Why can't I delete my own web pages?
- Avoiding broken links. It's very common for a web page to have other pages that link to it. Deleting your page will mean all those links to the missing page are now broken. This results in a frustrating experience for your website visitors.
- By contacting an administrator to request your page be deleted, you trigger a workflow to identify all inbound links that may also need to be removed.
- Creating consistency. When you want to remove information, removing one page may not be the whole story. For example, if a faculty member leaves Rush, deleting their faculty profile is important – but they may also be listed on a department faculty page, a research lab website, a residency program website, etc. Leaving these mentions of a former faculty member on the website creates confusion.
- By contacting an administrator to request your page be deleted, you initiate a request to identify any related content that may also need to be updated or removed.
- Safeguarding from accidental loss. Once a page is deleted, it's gone. There is no way to recover it.
- By contacting an administrator to request your page be deleted, you are taking a deliberate step which confirms that the removal is intentional.
More about deleting content
- This restriction only applies to entire pages. If you want to remove some content that's on a page, your account gives you that ability. You can delete a paragraph, a photo, a design component, or other page content whenever you need.
