Untitled section

This template may be placed on articles which have obtained a "keep" (or "no consensus defaulting to keep") decision on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, but have had that decision appealed on Wikipedia:Deletion review. It replaces the curiously titled {{NTSA}}, which now redirects here. —Encephalon 11:26, 10 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

If an article that was deleted has had its history page temporarily restored by an administrator to facilitate a discussion on Wikipedia:Deletion review, the template {{TempUndelete}} may be placed on that article page. —Encephalon 12:14, 10 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Substitution

edit

Removed following text from the template page: Note: [[Wikipedia:Deletion_review#{{subst:PAGENAME}}|the review]] will not work unless the template is subst'd.

Why do we say this? It isn't true, the template works just fine in transcluded form, at least so far as the link to the appropriate page is concerned. Why do we substitute this template at all? Also, this template has a parameter for a link to the discussion which is needed for non-articles and is often useful for group reviews and should be noted.--Doug.(talk contribs) 17:26, 16 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

I came here wondering the same thing. I'm removing the subst instruction. Equazcion (talk) 15:56, 14 Mar 2010 (UTC)

"Template" parameter

edit

Tothwolf, could you explain the purpose of the template parameter? Was there a problem it was adopted to solve? There may be a more efficient way to do it. Thanks. --Bsherr (talk) 21:20, 28 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Yes, we display a small notice for {{tfd}} above templates transcluded in mainspace but lacked a similar notification for {{delrev}}. As far as efficiency goes, I was thinking of making the code more generic in the long term, which may later involve removing the |template= parameter entirely and instead using |page=. --Tothwolf (talk) 21:55, 28 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
I've implemented better logic code which now uses |page= instead of |template=. --Tothwolf (talk) 10:19, 30 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
It might be better to simply noinclude Template:Being deleted, or create a "delrev" parameter in the template to modify the message there. --Bsherr (talk) 17:52, 30 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Convoluted sentence

edit

"A decision in a deletion process of which this page is the subject is being discussed in a deletion review."

Can anyone think of a way to make this sentence easier to understand? 86.176.214.139 (talk) 14:51, 10 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Legacy undocumented unnamed parameters

edit
  • The initial 10 March 2006 version of this template had one unnamed parameter which defaulted to the {{PAGENAME}} (page title excluding namespace) if not specified
  • On 14 February 2010, (diff) a |date= parameter and "name for other parameter" |page= were added. To be clear, the unnamed parameters ({{{1}}} and {{{2}}}) are distinctly different parameters than the named parameters, but the template is coded so that the unnamed parameters may be used in lieu of the named ones. Sometimes there may be good reasons for maintaining support for legacy parameters, but in this case, the template, which seems intended for only short-term use, isn't currently transcluded in any mainspace pages. Their presence here just contributes confusion and an {{Intricate template}} tag on the documentation. Any objections to removing these undocumented unnamed parameters?

Template:DelrevTemplate:Deletion review – The new title makes it more clear what the template is for, and is consistent with other templates such as {{Article for deletion}}. 🐶 EpicPupper (he/him | talk) 21:44, 4 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
