Template talk:Delete

You can replace '''Reason:''' {{{1}}}. with {{#if:{{{1|}}}|'''Reason:''' {{{1}}}.|}} which makes the reason stuff not show up if first value is not defined.  Caps Lock LORD 05:13, 24 February 2007 (EST)

Can someone put this---> to the left of the message? It looks cooler. ^Plumber

Can someone unprotect this? I need to add info.Knife (talk) 15:38, 22 August 2007 (EDT)

Done. --KPH2293 19:33, 25 August 2007 (EDT)

I was going to add this, but could a sysop add this instead? It got protected before I could revise it again.

Editprotected/suggestion

When the delete template is placed in talk page, it says that I'm need to delete the talk page of talk page. It's possible to fix, example:
{{#ifeq:{{TALKSPACE}}|{{NAMESPACE}}|Don't delete the page itself, only this talk page|{{#ifexist:{{TALKPAGENAME}}|<u>Delete</u> the talk page as well.}}}}
It includes: check if the temple is in talkspace and if not, checks talkspace for existing. SWFlash

The #ifexist function doesn't work very well - it glitches up Special:Wantedpages IIRC. Marioguy1 (talk)

Guide to use

It should say what you type to use this template.Mr Man 10:39, 3 December 2011 (EST)

It's so simple, it really doesn't need explaining. But in case someone else does come to the talk page looking for guidance, you just type this: {{Delete|insert-reason-here}} - Walkazo 11:29, 12 January 2012 (EST)

Link to deletion policy

In the template, there should be a link to the deletion policy to allow newbies to understand the meaning of deletion. --Bryce talk contributions 21:28, 10 January 2012 (EST)

It's more of a tool to let admins track down things that need deleting, but I suppose a link wouldn't hurt, especially if it's colour-linked to be black so it doesn't stick out and clash with the greyscale motif of the template. - Walkazo 11:29, 12 January 2012 (EST)

Unprotect

Can you please unprotect this template? I need to add something, then protect it again, thanks! -- MarioSmasher 10:01, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

Add what? Post it here and if it's a good idea, I can add it for you. - Walkazo 10:41, 10 April 2012 (EDT)
