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.
