Template talk:Delete/Talk


 * See also:
 * for Deletion policy

Simplified
I removed the, since the instructions in the Deletion policy say to use subst: which seems to not include the   stuff. In place of, I put a simplified set of instructions without policy specifics. --Fandyllic 10:47 PM PDT 23 May 2006

Ok, my bad with the includeonly tag. This MediaWiki version is too old. We'll have to live with the template being listed as up for voting I suppose. However, on the Delete/Vote instructions..... I didn't really change anything (to my eyes) re: content, I just made it a lot more readable. Maybe that's why you're suddenly reacting to the content =) When I started poking around here, one of the things I reacted on was the "clutteriness" of instructions; I had to bounce back and forth between lots of oddly linked pages before I understood what to do. I was trying to improve on that situation. I agree that duplicating information is bad (my #1 area of interest is the API pages, where duplicate information is really bad), but perhaps this is one of the times where duplicate information is OK -- changing policy would almost certainly necessitate editing the deletion templates anyway?  --Mikk 00:02, 24 May 2006 (EDT)


 * You didn't do anything wrong, just made some incorrect assumptions. I wouldn't have seen the problem until I tagged an article with Delete/Talk. I also didn't look at Delete/Vote right away because Delete/Talk wasn't putting it in when using subst:. I didn't mean you (Mikk) when I commented about Delete/Vote getting too big. It was just a general comment. Also, if Delete/Vote is supposed to be deprecated, having it show up at the top of Delete/Talk is kind of strange.
 * Anyway, I'm glad you have a sharp eye on these various things. Most users don't care much. --Fandyllic 11:21 AM PDT 24 May 2006

Protected template
I protected this template today to avoid people voting in the template page, which has been happening lately. Mikk (T) 13:41, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
