This is a documentation subpage for Template:Delete (see that page for the template itself). It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Instructions[edit source]
- Wiki users cannot delete pages, but they can add the request to delete by adding this Delete template to a page.
- Add this Delete request template to a page by typing {{Delete}}
- In general you should supply the reason the cleanup is needed, e.g., {{Delete{{{3}}}{{{4}}}{{{5}}}{{{6}}}{{{7}}}{{{8}}}{{{9}}}{{{10}}}{{{11}}}...}}.
- The user should also add justification for deletion details when needed for clarification on the article talk page.
- If a sections of a page/article warrants deletion then users should edit the section and explain why in the edit summary.
- If you are using the template only for documentation purposes, you can suppress the Category:Deletion Requests by adding a blank category parameter, e.g., {{Delete{{{4}}}{{{5}}}{{{6}}}{{{7}}}{{{8}}}{{{9}}}{{{10}}}{{{11}}}...}}.
