[edit] New template: Deletion Utility Belt

I created the "Deletion Utility Belt" as a useful resource. Feel free to put it on your userpages/talkpages. Also, if you want to create a version with the Editor's Barnstar and give it as an award, go ahead. The template is {{Template:Deletiontools}}. Neutralitytalk 02:45, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I made the text a bit shorter and changed the formatting a bit. How is that: Template:Deletiontools -- Chris 73 Talk 05:15, Sep 1, 2004 (UTC)
Is there a list of these tools anywhere? Yours is very useful b.t.w. -- Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 10:09, 2004 Sep 1 (UTC)
Love it! I almost want to change the text to "For Deletionists," but that would be mean. :-) Geogre 19:15, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Neutrality, do you mind if I add copyvio on there too? I think people working to get things deleted (KILL KILL KILL!!!) also check for copyright lots of times... - Vina 21:42, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Sure, go ahead. Neutralitytalk 02:46, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Very nice! May I suggest replacing {{Resources for collaboration}} (which is rather bulky) on WP:VFD with this one? VFD is huge enough. Actually, this could go on *FD as a navigational template. • Benc • 05:41, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Given that it was originally designed as a "tool belt," why not add WP:VFU? Any objections? - RedWordSmith 20:36, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Humor?

Does this section really need to be in the template? -Sean Curtin 16:38, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Formatting

I've reinstated the old formatting, as class="infobox" doesn't seem to............hang on - is class infobox what's just changed? dammit. Hold your fire, investigating. sjorford #£@%&$?! 14:38, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Ok, I'm done mucking about. la lala lala... sjorford #£@%&$?! 14:42, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Addition

Categories for Merge was missing, so I added it.JD 01:46, September 9, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] This template is very long

I think we should link the deletion debates to a "deletiondebates" template instead, because that's the main thing I use this template for anyway. What say you? Ashibaka tock 05:25, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Nothing? Uh... okay. Let's go. Ashibaka tock 01:45, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
Which links would you propose moving to the alternate template? Would there be reducdance links or links to the other template? -- Ec5618 02:07, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

I made it, and you can now see it on some deletion debate pages:

Deletion Debates
Articles (by category)

Templates

Images & media

Categories

User categories

Stub types

Redirects

Miscellaneous

Deletion review

policy - log - tools

It was reverted on RFD, but none of the other pages seemed to care really (or they like the new one better). Ashibaka tock 02:07, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

It's shorter than I had imagined. I like it, atleast for a number of pages. It could be a great template for use of User pages too. -- Ec5618 02:49, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Semiprotected

Should this template be semiprotected, protected or unprotected in your opinion? I'm good with whatever, but it is a somewhat popular template that is not often subst:'ed. ATM I have it semiprotected since an anon vandal just changed it. --Syrthiss 17:53, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Prod?

Now that it's been accepted as policy, shouldn't WP:PROD be added to this template? I'd do it myself, but I'm not really certain where it would go... --CComMack 11:58, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
