			[[Special:WhatLinksHere/HacDC Wiki:Cleanup 2012]] - Example of a "What links here" link. There's a link in the toolbox (left navigation bar, third box down) on every page that shows you what other pages link to it. Useful if you, say, move (rename) an article, which could break links or cause double redirects.

			You don't need to hesitate much about deleting spam when you come upon it. That's a wiki's self-cleaning mechanism. In fact, people manually deleting spam is the only reason Wikipedia isn't overrun by it!

			If you come upon an article created by a spammer, ask an administrator to delete it (I'm not quite sure about the deletion rules on HacDC's wiki).

			If you find spam inserted into an actual HacDC article, just undo the spammy edit. Go into the article's history by clicking the "history" tab, and click the "undo" link at the end of the edit description.
