Template:Db-g11/doc

This template is used to tag pages for speedy deletion under the speedy deletion criteria, specifically CSD G11. There is a separate template for each criterion – see the table to the right.

This template places the page into the categories: Candidates for speedy deletion, and Candidates for speedy deletion as spam.

Usage

The template should be placed at the top of the page to be deleted.

Parameters

{{db-g11}}

This is the most basic form of the template.

{{db-g11|bot=ExampleBot}}

Bot accounts will specify the |bot= parameter to notify the reviewing admin that the page was tagged by an automated process.

{{db-g11|reason=Additional note by the reporter/nominator. ~~~~}}

Free-form notes. Keep it short. Signature is optional.

{{db-g11|OODA WIKI:Articles for deletion/Page title here}}

Link to previous AfD or other relevant discussion (parameter can also be given as |1= or |xfd= or |page=). This can be used for whatever is the pagename of the most recent XfD or similar discussion (including if the page was then under a different name, or in a non-obvious location, such as a 2nd nomination, a merge discussion at some other article's talk page, etc.). This parameter has no default value and does nothing clever. (For speedy deletion on the grounds of recreation of previously deleted material, see Template:Db-g4 which has more features for detecting previous XfDs.)

Author notification

If you nominate a page for deletion under this criterion, please consider placing the following code:

This template, often abbreviated as {{}}, is used to provide stylized formatting to template displays without actually using the template itself. The code generated will be displayed inline. For a multi-line output, see {{tj}}.

Parameters

With the exception of alttext, the named parameters are toggles that are either omitted (default in most cases) or activated (by being assigned a value such as "on", "yes", "true", "include", etc.).
