Template:Db-r2

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used to tag pages for speedy deletion under the speedy deletion criteria, specifically CSD R2. There is a separate template for each criterion – see the table to the right.

This template places the page into the categories: Candidates for speedy deletion and Category:Candidates for speedy deletion as inappropriate cross-namespace redirects.

Usage

The template should be placed at the top of the page to be deleted.

Parameters

{{db-r2}}

This is the most basic form of the template.

{{db-r2|bot=ExampleBot}}

Bot accounts will specify the |bot= parameter to notify the reviewing admin that the page was tagged by an automated process.

Author notification

If you nominate a page for deletion under this criterion, please consider placing the following code:

{{subst:rediruser-warn|PageName|header=1}}

...on the User talk page of the main contributor(s) to the page, replacing PageName with the name of the page being marked for deletion. This will display the following user warning template:

==Speedy deletion nomination of [[:{{{1}}}]]==

A tag has been placed on [[:{{{1}}}]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by [[:{{{1}}}|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
