Wikipedia talk:Template messages/Deletion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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)

It has happened again with Template:hangon--Henrygb 00:32, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template:prod-2

I suggest adding mention of Template:prod-2 to this list -- its existence appears to be a little known secret. For that matter, it looks like there are other PROD templates from Category: Prod-related templates that should be here as well.

I suggest also adding mention of this template at

[edit] subpages

These template message lists are getting too long. They should be split up into even more subpages. See Wikipedia_talk:Template_messages#subpages for main discussion -Eep² 16:04, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Icon needed on AfD notifications?

I noticed there's no icon on Template:AFDWarning, Template:Adw or Template:AFDNote. It might not be strictly necessary, but I would like to add this icon , which I created for just this purpose. Would this be ok? --carelesshx talk 16:37, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

The icon has been added to all of the referenced templates ... see message below. Happy Editing! — 72.75.78.69 (talk · contribs) 15:11, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nuvola image vs. "flat" image

Some templates use Image:Circle-style-warning.svg, while others use Image:Nuvola apps important.svg... Is there any reason for this? If not, they might be changed to the Nuvola one. — SheeEttin {T/C} 20:49, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposition of new speedy template

Could we possibly create a new {{db}} template for articles that couldn't possibly be verified, reliably sourced or have other flaws. By this I mean I'm proposing a template named {{Db-OR}} for as said, articles that are most probably, or even completely, examplary of original research. Also, I would like to address any concerns to this proposition, as it is most likely I will be told to use the {{Db-reason}} template, but I don't find this really suitable as it IMO that it should be set in stone, and a link provided to the original resarch policy, which should be incorporated into text that is defining of Wikipedia's policy on OR.

[edit] Template:Oldprodfull

Hello, fellow editors ... I would like to add {{Oldprodfull}} to the Deletion tools section, but I am confused by the formatting ... if you agree that it should be in the table, would someone please add it? Happy Editing! — 72.75.78.69 (talk · contribs) 18:03, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

My thanks to User:MBisanz for adding the template. :-) Happy Editing! — 72.75.78.69 (talk) 15:07, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
