Template talk:Db-notice

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Needs fixing

This template currently has a hardcoded Talk: hack. It will fail if giving notices on pages not in mainspace (e.g. if you're notifying about "Image:Deletethis.jpg", it will produce link to "Talk:Image:Deletethis.jpg".) --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 14:40, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Added a parameter "targettalk"; not sure if there's a better way to deal with this. —Random832 15:11, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles

I added this text to the notice:

Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.

Many people are probably taken aback when they discover their article was deleted, and this can help reassure them that they can get the content back, for reuse somewhere else (e.g. another wiki). When we're dealing with newbies, we may also want to inform them about Wikipedia:Alternative outlets. Obuibo Mbstpo (talk) 01:13, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
