Usage
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]This template is a meta-template used to create the other speedy deletion templates used for nominating pages for speedy deletion. Do not attempt to use this template directly on articles. For a generic speedy deletion template, see {{db}}
.
Syntax
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]{{db-meta |bot={{{bot|}}} |criterion= |1= |2= |temp= |summary= }}
Where:
- criterion is the Criterion number from Wikipedia:Speedy deletion criteria. Do not create a CSD template which does not already have a CSD criterion, or it will itself be deleted under CSD T2!
- 1 is the text which will go in bold immediately after "may qualify for speedy deletion". Note that there is no space between the word "deletion" and the parameter - if you want to continue the sentence without punctuation, use an HTML space ( ) to prevent the template 'eating' the leading space. A trailing full stop is already included in db-meta, so don't add it to this parameter
- 2 is the text which appears in italics after 1. This should be a complete sentence, minus trailing punctuation (a full stop is included in db-meta).
- temp is the user warning template which corresponds to the CSD criterion. For instance,
{{db-a1}}
uses Template:empty-warn, so passes the parameter|temp=empty-warn
. All such warning templates should be categorised at Category:CSD warning templates - summary is the brief summary which will be preloaded into the deletion confirmation screen. There is no need to include the CSD criterion as this is added automatically.
Other notes
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]- All CSD templates based directly on db-meta should ideally use
{{db doc}}
for centralised documentation. - For templates which have variants, like
{{db-g6}}
and{{db-a7}}
, it is recommended to base the variants on those templates, rather than directly on db-meta. For instance,{{db-band}}
calls{{db-a7}}
which in turn calls db-meta, rather than db-band calling db-meta directly. - All CSD templates using db-meta produce two invisible spans which may be useful for client-side java script:
<div id="delete-criterion"></div>
contains only the CSD criterion ("A1", "P2", "R3", etc)<div id="delete-reason"></div>
contains a complete, legible deletion log summary which is suitable for preloading into the deletion confirmation screen.
