Delete wikis from the system
Use the WikisLibraryService delete commands to delete wikis.
Before starting
Use wikis administrative commands to see wiki library information to help you decide what wikis to delete, for example the WikisLibraryService.browseWiki command returns a list of wikis with information on each wiki. Use the returned information to see which wikis have not been updated in a long time. See the topic Wikis administrative commands for detailed information.To use administrative commands, use the wsadmin client. See Starting the wsadmin client for details.
Many commands ask for IDs as input parameters, such as library IDs, user IDs, policy IDs, and file IDs. You can use commands that take parameters you do know to return data including the ID you are looking for. For example, run WikisMemberService.getByEmail(string email) providing a user's email address and among the data returned is the user's ID. You can also find IDs using feeds. See the Lotus Connections API documentation for information on getting ID information using feeds.
