UDWiki:Administration/Deletions/Scheduling

Shortcut:
A/D/S

This page will be used for users to request that pages falling into certain categories be deleted as appropriate by a sysop without having to go through all the red tape of Speedy Deletions and Deletions. A list of pages in the Scheduled Deletions list is located here.

Deletion Scheduling

Deletion Scheduling requests should be requested in the same general format as normal Deletions. Votes will occur in the same general manner, and like normal deletion requests will be voted on for two (2) weeks, as judged by the initial datestamp. Votes in this case shall be as follows:

• Yea - For approval of the deletion scheduling request
• Nay - For disapproval of the deletion scheduling request

Remember that votes must be signed and datestamped (use ~~~~)

After the two weeks are up, if the page has reached at least a 50% majority in favour it is added to the Scheduled list. If the request fails to get the required number of votes, it doesn't get added. In either case, the closed request can then get shifted to the Archive.

Scheduling requests under consideration

Amendment to Rule 1

Current Rule: Unused Image Removal - Images on the Unused Image list that are a month old are to be deleted.

Exemption Clause - Any images that are used in various status based templates will be exempt from being deleted. Examples include:

• Image:Mall-safe-small.jpg - used in danger reports
• Image:Burb-edge-green.gif - used on the Omnimap
• Image:Maltel-active-small.jpg - used in mast danger reports

Since these are dependent on the status of various things, it's possible that they may occasionally become unused, and if they are over a month old, they might very well get deleted by accident. I make this request because it's already happened, and of course you can't undelete images.

These images could be allocated a new category for ease (Say: Status Components, or whatever sounds appropriate) and anything categorised as such would fall into this exemption. --  RoosterDragon  18:53, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Yay - Logical enough, although we should upgrade so we can undelete images ;). Linkthewindow  Talk  20:16, 24 January 2009 (UTC) User strike Linkthewindow  Talk  12:10, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

1. Nay - Needless duplication, repetition, and complication. Just image ark them on a project subpage or include them in a visual example. We don't just delete willy nilly but we also can't be expected to know every template inclusion of an image on the wiki. --Karek^maps?! 20:48, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
2. No As Karek. We've been through this before with the Mall images and at that time the images were arked for future use. --– Nubis ^NWO 22:33, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
3. Nay As Karek. Long may his common sense rule on all wiki's --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 23:51, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
4. Noy - it's not always obvious, so including them somewhere is the best way to keep them off the unused image list. The sysops do have to be careful though -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 00:34 25 January 2009 (BST)
5. Nyet - What boxy & Karek said. --ZsL 05:22, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
6. Nay - As boxy, Ross, and karek. I should read up on my Wiki history in future. Linkthewindow  Talk  12:10, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
7. Not this is an unneeded rule. Just create an archive page for these images and they will never be listed as Unused. --—The preceding signed comment was added by Hagnat (talk • contribs) at 13:27, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
