Template:Delete/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Delete.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

{{delete}} creates an information box telling the user that the page is proposed for deletion. The box will show at the position on the page where you put the template, and stretch horizontally to fill the width of the available space and vertically depending on how many rows of text are needed.

Parameter

There is only one parameter, which is unnamed (below called 1) and required.

Syntax

To use the template, type {{delete|custom text}}.

Required parameter

1

Motivation for the deletion

This parameter is used to provide an explanation and a motivation for why the page should be deleted. Give a good description of the circumstances. It is unnamed, so no parameter name needs to be entered.

The text you enter will be prefixed by the string "This page is proposed for deletion: ".

• {{delete|custom text}}
