This template places the page in Category:Candidates for speedy deletion and Category:Templates for speedy deletion seven days after they are first tagged.

[edit] Usage

This template must be passed two parameters; the first must be the timestamp when the template was added - this can be easily added using five tildes ~~~~~. The second should be the justification for deleting the template: the simplest method is to specify the other template that makes this template redundant/a dupliate. {{db-t3|~~~~~|TemplateName}}. Alternatively, a more detailed reasoning can be provided using the named parameter |reason=.

If the date parameter is not correctly specified, along with at least one of the reasoning parameters, the page is categorised into Category:Templates for speedy deletion with incorrect formatting.

Optional parameters: bot=Examplebot and category=Example speedy deletion category, as with the other CSD templates.
