Actually it is visible in the "queries" list of any user who chose to
include it. This makes deletion tricky.

If the user is retiring a private query that has never been public, I
think you can add an auditor that will also edit the multilink for the
user. Note this will not work if another user has the same query. User
A won't (in general) have the ability to edit User B's queries
multilink.

I am not sure rev_multilink can be used for that. Ralf any ideas?

Have a great weekend.
