Template:Delete

Template documentation

Standard deletion template

Usage: {{delete|reason --~~~~}}

Template to nominate a page for deletion. Should be placed at the very top of the page.

Template parameters

This template prefers inline formatting of parameters.

Parameter		Description	Type	Status
Reason	1 reason	Reason this page should be deleted Example Unused	Line	required
No category	nocat	Any value will prevent this page from being put in Category:Candidates for deletion	Boolean	optional

This template puts a 'Bold Red Warning' at the top of the page and adds the page to the Category:Candidates for deletion .

It should be added as the very first line on pages that you believe should be deleted from the wiki. This includes pages that no longer serve a useful purpose, pages whose content may be inappropriate (but which you are not sure about) and any other deletion that is not obviously a candidate for speedy deletion.

Use the template {{speedy|reason}} to speedy delete pages whose deletion would be uncontentious, i.e., leading to no Controversies (vandalism, test pages, etc.)
