Turn off email notifications when doing maintenance on a wiki page

Joan Burlage

We have over 600 comments on a wiki page and need to delete them.  Issue is that for every comment deleted, it sends an email to all of the 'watchers' of that space.  Is there a way to delete all of the comments in one swoop and that will not inundate the users email inbox?

The best solution is probably to temporarily disable outgoing email at the server level, and do the delete at a low point in your daily usage cycle so you can minimize the number of legitimate messages from not being sent.

There aren't email settings at a space level.

Another note is that it may be easier to just delete the page and recreate to wipe out the comments, if losing the history isn't a big deal.
