Template:Deletion/doc

Description

These articles should be reviewed for deletion.

Basic Syntax

Type {{Deletion}} at the top of the page.

Sample output

{{Deletion}} produces this banner:

This article should be reviewed for deletion. The reason is: unspecified

Optional descriptors

Place a reason after the first pipe (the symbol | ), and the parameter date= to indicate the month of the request. Copy this format, replacing with a reason, and it will automatically add the month of the request:

{{Deletion|<Place your reason here!>|date={{subst:#time: F Y}} }}

Sample output

{{Deletion|overly verbose with multiple redundancies.|date={{#time: F Y}} produces this banner:

This article should be reviewed for deletion, as of February 2017. The reason is: Blank stub or superseded by a newer page.

Putting this template on a page also adds it to the Candidates for deletion category.
