Pages have a DELETE, both on the Page itself and the Pages Management page. Both the Article Author and Moderators have the ability to delete pages.

The Convert Article to Thread is not a poor man's exporter. It was developed as a tool for Moderators, for cases where someone accidentally created an article and should have been a thread instead, so it's a moderator tool to handle that.

This is expected as Comments, Ratings, Reviews, Pages etc are NOT part of the Moderator Tool "Convert Article to Thread", which is designed ONLY for Moderation purposes for cases where someone accidentally creates an article that should be a thread instead.

You are more than welcome to make a suggestion to enhance the Convert Article to Thread Moderator feature (There are already 2 suggestions to convert Comments and Reviews to Posts made by Premium license holders).

This delete function delete the page from the article then the page re-become an article ?

Deleting a piece of content deletes the piece of content whether its a Thread, Post, Comment, Resource, Review, Page, Series etc etc etc. A HARD delete removes it from the database (non reversable), a soft delete simply changes the state of the content to "deleted", which can be undeleted if need be.

The Convert Article to Thread is NOT designed for what you are trying to do. You'd need to edit the article and copy/paste the page content into the article itself, then convert the article (also, you'd need to upload any page attachments to the article itself).

Ok, i understand.
So it will be handy to have the possibility to remove a page from an article.
But this is my last suggestion, lol, i completely remove AMS from my forum, not because is not a good add-on but because is useless for me.

Bummer, I hope your site picks up traffic, you put a lot of work into it!

The articles I published were only translations of English articles. They weren't very successful and above all the module forced me to create them regularly or risk having a module for years on the forum. I don't yet have a community with members able to create their own articles and therefore create unique content. This is the reason for the removal of AMS. I will be able to focus my energy on the forum now. If one day I need it again I know the address !

Just a quick update...

I've updated the Convert Article to Thread feature to include converting Pages to the First Post (not post 2, post 3, post 4 etc, but the FIRST POST (combined text). Page attachments will also be converted to the first post as well.
