:::::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.

Below the "please delete any corresponding talk pages as well", can we put down Remember to check [[Special:WhatLinksHere|What Links Here]] and the page history before deleting so like if it's a new stub or something, users could help improve the page. {{User:The RPG Gamer/sig}} 16:02, 16 November 2016 (EST) | Below the "please delete any corresponding talk pages as well", can we put down Remember to check [[Special:WhatLinksHere|What Links Here]] and the page history before deleting so like if it's a new stub or something, users could help improve the page. {{User:The RPG Gamer/sig}} 16:02, 16 November 2016 (EST) | ||
:That sounds like a great plan. If many pages link to the page in question and people forget to fix those soon-to-be-red links, it could make several pages look messy. | :That sounds like a great plan.

Since my proposal to make a separate template that has the opposite message failed, can we just change this to say "If the talk page creates a redirect, delete it as well"? That way, we won't lose any potentially-important talk pages for deleted articles and categories, as has [[Category talk:Major Races|occasionally happened]] [[Category talk:Characters who have kissed Mario|in the past]]. (Also, anyone with the power to do so able to restore those, or is there some long-exceeded time limit for that?)

:Seconded, though I think it should say "If the talk page creates a ''broken'' redirect, delete it as well", since it seems the concern was talk page redirects showing up in WantedPages? I can't really think of any other reason why someone would want talk pages deleted if the main page got deleted. In any case, the current text is misleading.
