Hello,

I started a quiz and then realized that I didn't want to write one on that particular topic. All I had was the title, I don't even have any questions written yet. Anyway, I tried to delete it from my list of quizzes, but it won't let me. How do I get rid of it?

Just keep the template and use it for your next quiz that you do want to write.

Oh, that makes sense. Thanks, agony.

If your quiz was selected as an Author Challenge, please also make sure to go to the challenge list and select the 'abandon challenge' option next to the title. This way, you can clear up any claimed titles so that others can complete them.

I suppose I should add, just to be perfectly clear:

it's OK for you to do this because this never was a completed quiz; it was never submitted, and an editor never saw it. Prior to first submission, you can pretty much do as you like with a template, we don't really care.

However, once that template has been submitted and an editor has worked on it, we do care. If you decide a quiz idea is unworkable after an editor has given you instructions about it, don't just change the quiz. Contact the editor, and discuss the situation with him/her. Your editor may agree with you that there's no hope of getting a viable quiz out of your idea, and give you permission to junk it. Or, he/she may have suggestions to help you get on track and finish the quiz after all.

If I see that your quiz "My Favourite Music" was previously edited by Kyle back in the days when it was called "My Favourite Video Games", I'll be sending you back to Kyle, to apologize to him for wasting his time, and to get his permission retroactively to abandon the quiz. Much better to have that discussion before the fact.

This quiz has never seen an editor, thanks for the information though.
