සැකිල්ල:Db-meta/ලේඛය

Usage

This template is a meta-template used to create the other speedy deletion templates used for nominating pages for speedy deletion. Do not attempt to use this template directly on articles. For a generic speedy deletion template, see {{db}}.

Syntax

{{db-meta
 |bot={{{bot|}}}
 |criterion=
 |1=
 |2=
 |temp=
 |summary=
}}

Where:

criterion is the Criterion number from Wikipedia:Speedy deletion criteria. Do not create a CSD template which does not already have a CSD criterion, or it will itself be deleted under CSD T2!
1 is the text which will go in bold immediately after "may qualify for speedy deletion". Note that there is no space between the word "deletion" and the parameter - if you want to continue the sentence without punctuation, use an HTML space ( ) to prevent the template 'eating' the leading space. A trailing full stop is already included in db-meta, so don't add it to this parameter
2 is the text which appears in italics after 1. This should be a complete sentence, minus trailing punctuation (a full stop is included in db-meta).
temp is the user warning template which corresponds to the CSD criterion. For instance, {{db-a1}} uses Template:empty-warn, so passes the parameter |temp=empty-warn. All such warning templates should be categorised at Category:CSD warning templates
summary is the brief summary which will be preloaded into the deletion confirmation screen. There is no need to include the CSD criterion as this is added automatically.

Other notes

All CSD templates based directly on db-meta should ideally use {{db doc}} for centralised documentation.
For templates which have variants, like {{db-g6}} and {{db-a7}}, it is recommended to base the variants on those templates, rather than directly on db-meta. For instance, {{db-band}} calls {{db-a7}} which in turn calls db-meta, rather than db-band calling db-meta directly.
All CSD templates using db-meta produce two invisible spans which may be useful for client-side java script:
- <div id="delete-criterion"></div> contains only the CSD criterion ("A1", "P2", "R3", etc)
- <div id="delete-reason"></div> contains a complete, legible deletion log summary which is suitable for preloading into the deletion confirmation screen.
