Yes, it's been really bad the last couple of days.  I
have made ten attempts at some deletions and have
finally given up, just put the {{delete}} header on
the page for later deletion when the process actually
works.  Of course, when I brought it up on the Village
Pump, I was ridiculed instead of given any
constructive advice.
