On the left margin of the maing page there is a help link:
http://euwiki.ayo.biz/Help:Contents

The help page links to the wikimedia editing page, which is very 
thorough: 

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing

This is a very helpful page, and should maybe be a little more
prominently featured as TFM for editing the wiki.  We can hope that
people will try clicking the help link, and read what's there, but
that may be asking too much.

I believe that only the administrator can delete a page.  Anyone
can edit (haven't you been paying attention to Juergen's thread?)
a page.  You can also view histories, and restore content, if 
appropriate.  This is a common issue with wikis.  People can get
into an editing war (not to mention vandalism).  There are other
policies that the admin can enforce with respect to locking pages,
allowing or disallowing certain people to edit (i.e., must be logged
in, etc).
