Template:Moderationnav

This page is for the request of page deletions within the Urban Dead wiki. Due to concerns about loss of data, the ability to delete pages is restricted to system operators. As such, regular users will need to request a deletion from the system operators. For consistency and accountability, system operators also adhere to the guidelines listed here.

Guidelines for Deletion Requests

All Deletion Requests must contain the following information in order to be considered:

  • A link to the page in question. Preferably bolded for visibility. Note that Category and Image links need a colon at the front to turn them into links (ie [[:Category:Category]] and [[:Image:Image.jpg]]).
  • A reason for deletion. This should be short and to the point.
  • A signed datestamp. This can be easily done by adding ~~~~ to the end of your request.

In addition to placing a request on this page, please place the {{delete}} tag on the top of the page that is being recommended for deletion. Please make sure that the original content remains on the page, so that others can judge whether the page is worthy of deletion.

Any deletion request that does not contain these three pieces of information will not be considered, and will be removed by a system operator.

Once the deletion request has been entered, the request shall remain on this page, where it will be voted on for a period of two (2) weeks, as judged by the initial datestamp. At the conclusion of this two weeks, the appropriate action will be taken by a system operator, and at the end of that day the request will be moved into the Archive.

Certain types of pages may be better being scheduled for deletion in order to reduce the amount of red tape and stop this page getting too cluttered. To lodge a request for scheduled deletions, head for UDWiki:Administration/Deletions/Scheduling.

Deletion of pages that match a certain criteria may be better serviced by a request for a Speedy Deletion. Speedy Deletions are for removal of pages that are clearly of no value to the wiki, and do not incur the two week voting requirement. Speedy Deletion requests can be lodged at UDWiki:Administration/Speedy Deletions.

Speedy Deletion Eligibility

To be eligible for a Speedy Deletion Request, the page must fall under at least one of the following criteria:

  1. No Content: The page contains no more than a line or two of content that cannot clearly be expanded, consists of random or incoherent content, or is duplicated elsewhere to no purpose.
  2. Off-Topic: The page is a clearly off-topic page.
  3. Unused Redirect: The page is an unused or underused (ie, only 1-2 pages using the link) redirect.
  4. Empty Category: The page is a Category page that has no entries within it.
  5. Missed Talk Page: The page is a Talk: Page from a previous deletion request that has not been deleted with the request (please note the relevant deletion request if this is so)
    As of 19 May 2010, Crit 5 is now a scheduled deletion.
  6. Deletion Workaround: The page is a duplicate of a page that has been deleted from a previous deletion request (please note the relevant deletion request if this is so). A page that fits this criterion is immediately qualified for deletion without requiring it be nominated on the 'Speedy Deletions' page. Recreating a page that fits this criterion will get you a polite message to stop doing so. Any further infractions of this nature will qualify as vandalism and will be treated as such. Note that criterion 6 does not apply when the page has been restored through Undeletions.
  7. Author Edit Only: The page has been requested for speedy deletion by the original author, and has been edited only by its author. Note that edits by adbots or vandals and reverts caused by them do not count.
  8. User Page: The page is a User subpage that has been requested for speedy deletion by the original author.
  9. Personal Page (Prefix Rule): The page is named after a user without the "User:" or "Journal:" prefixes and its content has been moved to the appropriate User or Journal page. Includes pages that should be User subpages, ie. in-game characters.
    As of 2011, August 29, Crit 9 is now a scheduled deletion.
  10. Unused Template: The page is a template that has existed for at least one week and is currently unused within the wiki.
  11. Non-existent User Page: The page is a User: page for a user that doesn't exist, and any content on the page has been moved to the appropriate User: or Journal: page.
    As of 20 June 2009, Crit 11 is now a scheduled deletion.
  12. Defunct group page: The page is a non-historical group page, it is over two months old, it has not had an update in a month, and is not on the stats page. Such pages will remain in the queue for 5 days to determine their defunct status has been correctly identified. Due to the large number of pages that fit into this criterion, please {{speedydelete12}} on the pages to ensure that they are categorized differently from normal speedy deletion requests.
    As of 2007, September 16, this is no longer a valid criterion.
  13. Missed sub-page: The page is a sub-page from a previous deletion request that has not been deleted with the request, and that serves no individual purpose (please note the relevant deletion request).

A page may also fall under a scheduled deletion and should be posted here if it is missed by the sysops.


Guidelines for Voting on Deletion Requests

  • One vote per user.
  • Voting should take place underneath the request, and each vote should be started with a # with no empty lines inbetween votes.
  • There are four vote types:
    • Delete. For agreement with the deletion request
    • Merge. For indication that the content on the page should be merged with another page (includes an implicit Delete).
    • Speedy Delete. For indication that the page meets one of the Speedy Deletions Criteria (includes an implicit Delete).
    • Keep. For disagreement with the deletion request.
  • The specific vote keyword should be bolded within the lodged vote. Any relevant comments are also allowed, but these should not be bolded.
  • At least one Delete vote must be entered by the deadline in order for a page to be deleted. System operators may not use their own vote after the deadline to delete a page.
  • If more Delete votes are entered than Keep votes, the page will be deleted. In any other circumstance, the page is kept.
  • If 3 Speedy Deletes are lodged, and there are no Keep Votes, the page will be deleted as per Speedy Deletions.

Category:Historical Buildings

This has been sitting unused for over 6 months, created over a year ago (judging by the timestamp at the top) and the creator's been inactive since February. As it stands, it's little more than an incomplete list of locations with a few crossed out here and there. It's kinda sitting idle and we can do one of three things:

  • Delete it as it's unused and probably will remain so. Only link in is from a speedy request in October last year.
  • Leave it be to sit about some more waiting on someone adopting it.
  • Or move it from an empty category to a regular page and decide it's fate later. -- Cheese 21:49, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
  1. Delete - Seems to be little more than an abandoned project. I don't see it fitting into anything on the wiki right now. -- Cheese 21:49, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
  2. Delete - if completed, it would be too close to Category:Historical Events. Linkthewindow  Talk  02:23, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
  3. Meh - one of those 'who cares?' pages. Might as well send it packin'.--xoxo 00:00, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
  4. Delete - Abandoned and not too interesting or helpful. --ZsL 05:44, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
  5. Keep - It has potential use, if the options are making it useful or deleting it we should always choose to make use of the tools we have at our disposal. Open a discussion.--Karekmaps?! 10:38, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
  6. Delete - Interesting concept. Abandonded page. Let's start from scratch if we wanna run with the concept. --WanYao 15:02, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
    Doesn't require deleting the page outright, that's just a method to make sure it falls off everyone's radar.--Karekmaps?! 15:37, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
    My problem is ... the very phrase "Historical Buildings" gives the page an official status akin to Historical Events and Groups. Highly misleading. Is there interest in having a category for official Historical Buildings? Well... let's draft a policy for such. But until that happens, i.e. such a policy passes, this really page/category shouldn't exist. --WanYao 01:42, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
    Change it so it's a listing of buildings where localized historical events have taken place. --Karekmaps?! 05:59, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
    That could be a drama-fest, though, deciding what is and what isn't... IMO an Historical Building category ought to refer to buildings have had an impact in, and garnered a reputation somehow, with lots of people not just in the local burb. It'd be often associated with historical events, like the Blackmore, for example... But buildings which are the sites of infamous, ongoing struggles, which might not be technically historical in themselves, should be historical, too. The Pask NT in Daker, for example... Stuff like that. That gives a chance to recognise groups and events that might not otherwise get anywhere close to historical status, but which are still noteworthy. But if it's just locals deciding, every second building will become historical... And, writing it all up in the building's history can deal with this... But, it's a thought... --WanYao 14:58, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
    This page doesn't seem to have much to do with in-game historical events, but rather "backstory" (made up) historical wiki entries -- boxy talk • teh rulz 00:16 8 December 2008 (BST)
  7. Move & Speedydelete - move the page to the users subpage area (or even the main namespace if others are interested in taking on the project), and delete the category as crit 4, unused category (it's only entry is itself) -- boxy talk • teh rulz 00:16 8 December 2008 (BST)

Liberation Day and Ironfist

Liberation_Day

Ironfist

Contains nothing but lies and negative propaganda (and it never happened) about my group. The one who created this page has done something like that on various other times and it doesn't belong here.--ScouterTX 14:04, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

  1. Delete. --ScouterTX 14:33, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
  2. Keep Have you tried Arbitration first? A simple conflict resolution over there should be attempted, rather than placing his own pages up for what should, and probably will be, a failed deletion. Page ownership means that they should not really be deleted unless an Arbitration verdict has been reached, or the creator requests it.--Drawde Talk To Me! DORIS Яed Яum Defend Ridleybonk! I know Nothing! 17:33, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
  3. Delete. We can confirm this whole "Liberation Day" crap, never happened, and "Ironfist" is just as bad. Kewabara1 17:31, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
    Keep This is part of our group's new backstory. If you feel otherise we'd be happy to include a section signaling your disagreement with the statements and a link a to a page of your construction. Unsigned struck. -- Cheese 21:03, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
    Sorry that was me, Captain Rickety
    Group backstory belongs in groupspace, because it is rarely NPOV. Linkthewindow  Talk  10:11, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
  4. Merge with FURIG as a group subpage and stick a note on it saying its just crap they made up. -- Cheese 21:03, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
  5. Keep Since my first vote was struck. Cheese's suggestion is fine by me.Captain Rickety
  6. Merge - to subpages of groups involved. I CBAed to read this boring tripe, but I can tell it's group propaganda... Lies are permitted, just not in the main namespace. --WanYao 00:36, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
  7. Merge - Propaganda is fun and all, but it should be in FURIG's group subpage. --Jen 01:23, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
  8. Merge - with FURIG's group page. Or, just make it NPOV (although it is pretty BS, so yeah...) Linkthewindow  Talk  09:59, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
  9. Delete - We don't want our name used like this. This isn't even propaganda, it's just slander. If someone was to look at this page they would get the wrong idea about our group as it doesn't even say it's all false. Even if these pages are merged with FURIG, I request that the name SNAKEHOUND be changed to another, I believe this is a fair request, as it's only a backstory, right? -Ryzak Black 19:37, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
  10. Delete - Claiming that something is a "backstory" when it's supposed to have happened a month ago is rubbish, leading me to believe that nothing on the page actually happened. Bullshit to the bin -- boxy talk • teh rulz 02:47 3 December 2008 (BST)
  11. Keep There have been several events in the past that have been chronicled from a non-NPOV (Battle of Blackmore anyone?) and there is no reason to delete these pages. Furthermore, no evidence has been shown that says any of this is false. If you're pissed off, take it to arbitration or talk to the author. You can't have a page deleted just because it's just there to spread negative propaganda against your group. --William Told 04:11, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
    Ask around and you'll see that nothing like this ever happend. Futhermore, that user has some sort of crush on us, because 90% of his contribs are about us and how "evil" we are.--ScouterTX 21:51, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
  12. Delete No need for the drama...Information on the wiki is supposed to be accurate and not propaganda BS (outside of your own groups POV section on their page. Conndrakamod TAZM CFT 13:01, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
  13. Delete - and recreate it in your group's namespace, if you want it that badly. It's just too biased to exist in the main namespace. --Pestolence(talk) 22:09, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
  14. Delete - Rediculous. Met fan 02:14, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
  15. Delete - Pollution it is.--N00bert foxhound 02:52, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
  16. Delete - Worse than Harry Potter fanfiction.--James Madley 05:24, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
  17. Delete - lol, snakehound.--xoxo 05:41, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete - As above. Would be speedy crit 1, but the Malton Families thingy might want it expanded. (what is the Malton Families, anyway?) --Pestolence(talk) 02:23, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
    Just a fictional history project, similar to ALiM but less awesome. Excluding a few cases, it seems to have never really taken off.--xoxo 02:36, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

No, they're not scheduled deletions, despite it being agreed on talkLSG that they should be deleted once fixed up. Put them up on A/SD -- boxy talk • teh rulz 12:47 7 December 2008 (BST)
I assumed that was a given, the same is expected no matter what is being deleted. My point was simply we don't need tons of reports for when these are dealt with, there may be a few thousand of them after all.--Karekmaps?! 12:50, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
