Template:Delete

[view | edit | history | purge]Documentation

Shortcut

D

This template is used to mark a page for deletion.

Pages with this template on are added to Category:Pending deletion. For obvious candidates for deletion, use {{Speedy delete}} instead.

When marking non-redirect pages for deletion, the content should not be blanked - simply put the delete template above all of the content. The only exceptions to this are if the page is a blatant attack page, a copyright violation, contains personal/sensitive information, or something along those lines. When marking a redirect for deletion, the delete template should always go below the redirect, as this will make the redirect function for normal readers but will still add it to the normal category.
