<includeonly>{{redirect|Template:Delete|templates concerning other forms of deletion, such as [[WP:AFD|Articles for deletion]]|Wikipedia:Template messages/Deletion}} {{redirect|Template:Del|the template marking deleted text|Template:Deltext}}</includeonly> {{Documentation subpage}} {{Twinkle standard installation}} {{Never substitute}} {{Speedy deletion templates}} This template (db = "'''d'''elete '''b'''ecause") is a generic speedy deletion template, used to nominate pages for [[WP:CSD|speedy deletion]] when the reason for deletion requires further details than those provided by the criterion-specific templates (full list at [[WP:CSD#toc|WP:CSD]]). ===Usage=== * This template places the page into [[:Category:Candidates for speedy deletion]] and [[:Category:Candidates for speedy deletion for unspecified reason]]. * Do ''not'' edit this template to discuss why a particular article should or should not be deleted – for that, use the article’s own discussion page. * Use this template to explain why the page meets the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|criteria for speedy deletion]]. Each speedy deletion criterion has its own template; however, if the explanation required for deletion extends beyond a mere quoting of a criterion, use this template to write a custom speedy deletion request. * Using {{tlx|db|''reason''}} will produce the speedy deletion template shown above, except that in the place of "{{red|'''no reason has been given'''}}", your reason will be placed. If no reason is given, however, the text "{{red|'''no reason has been given'''}}" ''will'' be displayed. * If you wish to include a URL in the deletion reason that includes an equal sign ("="), use the following syntax: {{tlx|db|2=1=''reason''}}. This applies to any equal sign, but especially ones in URLs. * If you wish to include a vertical bar ("|") that is not part of a template as part of your deletion reason, use {{tlx|!}} instead. If the vertical bar is part of a template, however, such as {{tlx|tl}}, display it normally. * Use {{tlx|db-author}} if you are the creator and only substantial contributor to the page. ==See also== Other types of deletion templates: {{Proposed deletion templates}} <includeonly>{{sandbox other|| [[Category:Speedy deletion templates|*Db]] }}</includeonly> <templatedata> { "params": { "1": { "label": "Reason", "description": "Reason for deletion" }, "bot": { "label": "Bot", "description": "Whether a bot added the template" }, "help": { "label": "Help", "description": "Determines if deletion \"help\" menu is visible" }, "nocat": { "label": "No Category", "description": "Whether to categorize the template in a deletion category (keep off for demo purposes)" }, "category": { "label": "Category", "description": "Additional category to place the template in" } }, "description": "Generic speedy deletion template" } </templatedata>
