Anyone! 19:30, 25 August 2007 (EDT)

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: It includes: check if the temple is in talkspace and if not, checks talkspace for existing.
 * The #ifexist function doesn't work very well - it glitches up Special:Wantedpages IIRC.

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:  -  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. -- 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. - 11:29, 12 January 2012 (EST)

Document Proper Usage?
Should this template document it's usage, especially for ? --


 * What do you mean by "documenting" its usage?

 * I thought I explained because there was a parameter that can be used but is not documented. There is just no documentation how to use the template. also has this issue. Many templates we use regularly have no documentation and related templates.  and  do what  don't. -- 19:23, 1 August 2016 (EDT)
 * I don't see the harm in providing a usage section in noinclude tags, but overall, it's not wholly necessary, especially since there is only one parameter you can modify in a lot of these. 19:28, 1 August 2016 (EDT)
 * Sadly, new users or even users new to Wiki editing may not know the intricacies of how we do things here. Only experienced editors know what to do. -- 19:32, 1 August 2016 (EDT)
 * Would Help:Template be sufficient? But even then, I suppose the inputs aren't immediately shown to newer users. Me, I learned how to use templates by looking at the coding ot templates in articles. Overall, I don't see the harm. 19:37, 1 August 2016 (EDT)
 * I'm starting to get the feeling that we need an overhaul how we list and document each template. I mean we have game templates ( and ), so why not do this for templates? A template for listing templates and we transclude that template into documentation sections. A deviation of . -- 20:03, 1 August 2016 (EDT)
