These files are not Jinja2 templates, so there's no reason that they needed to be inside `templates/zerver`. Moving them to the top level reflects their importance and also makes it feel nicer to work on editing the help center content, without it being unnecessary buried deep in the codebase.

Delete a topic
{!admin-only.md!}
We generally recommend against deleting topics, but there are a few situations in which it can be useful:
-
Clearing out test messages after setting up an organization.
-
Clearing out messages from an overly enthusiastic bot.
-
Managing abuse.
In most other cases, renaming a topic is often a better idea, or just leaving the topic as is. Deleting a topic can confuse users who come to the topic later via an email notification.
Note that deleting a topic also deletes every message with that topic, whereas archiving a stream does not.

Note that deleting all of the individual messages within a particular topic also deletes that topic. Structurally, topics are simply an attribute of messages in Zulip.
