Open Web Part Maintance Page & Remove Error Webpart

Buzz It
Symptom:
Often times, developers in WSS3.0/MOSS2007 probably run across the issue
where a web part is dropped on to a page and then Sharepoint errors out for one
reason or the other. Sometimes, the user is directed to a Web Part Maintenance
page, which helps the developer remove the offending web part from the page.
However, there is no way to get to this page from any easily available
link.
Resolution:

In order to get to the Web Part Maintenance page for ANY sharepoint url,
try the following trick.

a) Append the querystring ?contents=1 to the url in the browser as shown below.









Cheers :-
