Wikipedia talk:Template messages/Deletion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You have new messages (last change).

I removed the templates themselves from this page, because I think they were causing too much confusion among newer (and not that new) users. Wikipedia:template messages is the defacto standard place for "newer" users to look, to learn what templates are available. From there, they naturally arrive at this page and were led to believe that deleting a page/category/whatever was just a matter of adding the appropriate tag from the chart. The templates themselves provide links to the instructions, but these links are very small and de-emphasized. It is much better to list the deletion templates only on the pages that give the instructions on how to use them, or at least not to list the templates here where users are likely to encounter them and have no clue that there is more to it than the template.--Srleffler 02:24, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion notifications

We currently have (some) deletion notification messages both at Wikipedia:Template_messages/User_talk_namespace#Deletion_notifications and here at Wikipedia:Template messages/Deletion. We should concentrate in one place, IMHO, but I'm agnostic as to where. Any suggestions? Please comment on the other page's talk page. Sandstein 06:20, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Oops

I accidently put this page up for speedy deletion... Reverted obviously, but thought I should say something. GofG ||| Contribs 21:38, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
