Template talk:Adw

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template was considered for deletion on 2006 October 12. The result of the discussion was to keep.

This is a useful template to subst: into people's talk pages when they are the only (or one of a very small number of) editor(s) that have been working on an article up for deletion, so they know about it. Modeled after {{Idw}}

Usage: On the user's talk page, do a {{subst:Adw|pagenameOfPageUpForAfD}} and then add expanding or parenthetical remarks, as necessary, then sign. Note, if you start using the '+' tab, it may put in two headings... best to edit the whole page and add it at the bottom. An example of usage (when it was in my user space) is here: [1]

Nice idea, I was on afd patrol notiying creators about their articles (which doesn't seem to be done much, despite it being part of the etiquette), and didn't know this template was here. Any objections if I add the existance of this template to the main WP:AFD page? (I'm also going to drop a note to admins regarding the afd2 template, with a suggestion that it adds the line "Has the creator been notified" or similar to remind people) Regards, MartinRe 09:40, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

I'd add a link to the Wikipedia:Deletion policy from this template, since this is likely to being posted to newcomers' talk pages. - Liberatore(T) 16:08, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A variation on this message

I created {{Adwnote}} as a convenient way to let an editor know that someone else has nominated an article for deletion. That template is based on this one, {{Adw}}. Recipients of a {{Adw}} message may think that the person sending the message is the same one who nominated the article for deletion, which isn't always the case. Note that {{PRODNote}} already exists as a "someone else prodded the article" version of {{PRODWarning}} --Eastmain 21:35, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
