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.

    Apparently, they want this page deleted as well (the dupe.) What's going on? Linkthewindow  Talk  07:33, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
    Some craziness over a group page in ns:0. Some of it can be seen on Boxy and Cheese's pages.--Karekmaps?! 08:24, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
    The only one who wants that one deleted is Soldier -- boxy talk • teh rulz 08:37 23 November 2008 (BST)

  9. Delete - As Toejam.--Drawde Talk To Me! DORIS Яed Яum Defend Ridleybonk! I know Nothing! 12:18, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Current Buildings of Stanbury Village

It just copies the Stanbury Village page...--Haliman - Talk 21:10, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

  1. Delete Doesn't copy the Stanbury Village page, but no-one seems to be updating it. Linkthewindow  Talk  21:27, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
  1. Keep - as Midianian. Didn't notice the age. Linkthewindow  Talk  21:57, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
  1. Keep - From the looks of it, it's supposed to be an actively updated map of the current state of buildings, so no, it doesn't just copy it. It's two hours old, give it some time. It's not even finished yet! --Midianian Big Brother Diary Room: [521,21] 21:30, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
  2. Keep as mid. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 21:47, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Recent Actions

Malton Defense

Appears to be defunct; it was a redirect to Malton Defense Corporation, a now-disbanded group, and now is completely wiped, and linked to nowhere. --Pestolence(talk) 15:39, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Done.--Karekmaps?! 02:32, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Stickling Mall IRC

The IRC channel it links to is defunct, and IRC links should be on the Urban Dead IRC Channels page.--Drawde Talk To Me! DORIS Яed Яum Defend Ridleybonk! I know Nothing! 12:48, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

  1. Critimication 1 - You can't really say much else about it and there is already a place for IRC links. They don't need their own page unless they are especially notable, which even then would be a stretch. -- Cheese 12:52, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
  2. Speedy--Nallan (Talk) 13:01, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
  3. Speedy and Move --- to IRC Channels. Linkthewindow  Talk  13:12, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
  4. Speedydelete - As above. --Pestolence(talk) 15:31, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Done.--Karekmaps?! 02:32, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Pker List

I don't even know where to start with this page. I'm shocked it's evaded deletion for this long. It's biased, it's community edited, it's... well, look for yourselves. It's crap. It's almost crap enough to be laughable, but it lacks even that capacity. Maybe we could move it to a trenchcoater subpage. --Blackboard 15:57, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

  1. Crit 1 - To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== DDR Approved Editor 16:00, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
  2. Keep omg, not a pker list--THE Godfather of Яesensitized, Anime Sucks Yalk | W! U! WMM| CC CPFOAS DORISFlag.jpg LOE ZHU | Яezzens 16:11, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
    It's NOT a pker list... it's some misguided idiot's half-assed attempt at a pker list. There's no documentation, no criteria, nothing. I like being in the Rogues Gallery; however, it's an independent entity and does not have the "authority" of a peer-edited community page. If there IS to be an official pker list, I'm guessing there's going to be... shit, I don't know... probably like six or seven more people on there. Maybe eight, I'm not quite sure. Though I AM pretty sure your cousin Vic should be on there. What? Did I just reference your cousin Vic? Yeah, this page is that awesome. Don't get rid of it. It's lovely.-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 13:44, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
  3. Keep - Maybe make it a redirect to Rogues Gallery? --ZsL 23:03, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
  4. crit 1 --~~~~ [talk] 23:09, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
  5. Keep Criteria 1 doesn't apply, as it could be expanded into some sort of anti-revive page or as a redirect to PK Reporting. --Akule Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™ 00:32, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
  6. Crit 1 - wow, I haven't been here for a while... what a terrible place... RIP A/D ---------/~Rakuen~\Talk Domo.gif I Still Love Grim 01:14, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
  7. Crit 1 --Sonny Corleone DORIS MSD pr0n 01:31, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
  8. Crit 1 - Why keep half assed bullshit when there is already something like that or it could be remade better?--– Nubis NWO 03:24, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
  9. Crit 1 - DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 07:10, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
  10. Delete --Midianian Big Brother Diary Room: [508,07] 08:29, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
  11. Redirect/Merge - As ZS, Akule, etc. Just make it a redirect to the RG page, or a redirect to PK Reporting. Linkthewindow Talk 09:33, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
  12. ^ - This. The page should not be a list in and of itself but rather a description of what pker lists are along with a few noteworthy ones.--Karekmaps?! 18:56, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
  13. Keep - and change to a page describing what a PKlist is, and how to make one in your user or group sub-page area -- boxy talk • teh rulz 21:59 7 November 2008 (BST)
    The idea of a PKer list is fairly straight forward and self explanatory...--xoxo 01:02, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
    But where to set up such pages on the wiki isn't. PK lists are totally POV, therefore each individual one should go somewhere where it's obvious whose PK list it is, and the best place for that is a group or alliance sub page -- boxy talk • teh rulz 00:28 20 November 2008 (BST)
  14. Keep - as Boxy, especially the group subpage part. -- Atticus Rex mfu pif Δ 06:55, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
  15. detele - worthless. --WanYao 12:33, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
  16. Keep - I like Boxy's idea. We could redirect Kill List into it as well as it comes up quite a lot. -- Cheese 18:50, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
  17. Delete - nup.--xoxo 01:02, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
  18. Keep and Redirect - to Rogues Gallery or PK Reporting. --Pestolence(talk) 01:32, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
  19. Keep and Redirect - As Pestolence.--Drawde Talk To Me! DORIS Яed Яum Defend Ridleybonk! I know Nothing! 11:40, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Kept - But narrowly (9 delete to 10 keep). I'll convert the page to a description of a Pker list and link to various related pages. -- Cheese 11:44, 22 November 2008 (UTC)


All saints day invasion

crit 1? Linked to nowhere. No evidence it actually happened. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 12:55, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

  2. Crit 1 - The link on there says it was postponed. The Bash never knew anything about this. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== DDR Approved Editor 18:01, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

  9. Delete - Has anyone ever used this term in this sense? The antonym exists to distinguish mrh?cows from, y'know, zombies. The extra descriptor here is just redundant. -- Atticus Rex mfu pif Δ 07:07, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Example_Sign

Crit 3 - this is a redirect to Beer Cruzade. The page name doesn't make sense and it isn't shorter than the group name.--– Nubis NWO 03:14, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Once the links to it are fixed up on this template, it can probably be speedydeleted as an unused redirect -- boxy talk • teh rulz 03:26 16 November 2008 (BST)
That template shouldn't be in the G Groups category either, by the way. I don't have the time right now to see if it should be more of an event or possibly B Groups. But that's another thing we will need to look at. --– Nubis NWO 18:25, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
  1. Speedy Delete- Just fixed the link (it was a dodgy piece of code,) and now nothing links to it. Linkthewindow  Talk  04:28, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

It's a redirect to User:Speels. Should be deleted as per these precedents: 1, 2, 3, 4. --Pestolence(talk) 20:49, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Suburb_Recruitment

I've already had this up for SD, but Boxy put a keep on it and then neglected to move it here.

I'd have this deleted under Crit 1, duplication of content. It's a recreation of Recruitment in a different format. I'd even say that it's bad faith, as it intentionally subverts the community consensus of the aforementioned page but unilaterally changing established guidelines by creating a copy of the page. This is no different to someone being duped or spammed on the suggestions system and then setting up their own 'Users Suggestions' page and not allowing spam or dupe votes.

The notion of reorganising the recruitment page has been discussed multiple times with no clear consensus being reached or even the author of this page actively participating. Changing a guideline on a community page requires discussion and consensus, the DEM are currently in this process attempting to correctly alter the page.

The page also has "Brought to you by The Gamer's Haven!" plastered across the top of it in a de facto attempt to establish authority over a page in the public space. At the very least this should be moved into that group's namespace on those grounds.

Either this or Recruitment needs deleting, there's no point in users putting work into one when another has a completely different set of guidelines and standards, it's just going to confuse the newbies and create wiki drama. It should be this page as Recruitment is already set up from the internal links and is easier to find, it is also the page with the established history of community consensus, not de facto claimed authority. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== DDR Approved Editor 09:33, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

  1. Speedy Delete - Crit 1. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== DDR Approved Editor 09:33, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
  2. Speedy Delete - As Iscariot. Ether way, the group could at least move it. It's bad faith. Linkthewindow Talk 10:15, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
    To clarify, I don't see a Recruitment page listed by suburb as such a bad idea (although the suburb pages already have the info,) it's more that a group has claimed ownership over a mainspace page. Linkthewindow Talk 05:22, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
  3. Keep - I saw this, personally i feel it's more useful than the existing recruitment page and could even replace the list of groups in a suburb in the right hand panel of each suburbs page. However if those two are gonna stay existing this could probably go.--xoxo 00:10, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
  4. Keep - This is a (potentially) immensely useful page. Recruiting by suburbs plays to the strengths of many small and local groups that would otherwise get lost in the shuffle. What's wrong with having recruiting groups be able to recruit in both ways? Get rid of the "brought to you by the gamer's haven" bit, put a link on the Recruitment page saying, "or, instead of looking alphabetically, here are some groups recruiting by surburb," and let it stay. (Also -- I'd say that every group that put an add there, and decided to use it, has already endorsed it and found it useful). --Jen 05:57, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
    All this page is going to do is cause drama. The content is duplicated on the suburbs pages with the active groups list (which thanks to the recent Suburbs Massacre is now accurate), if people are looking by suburbs their first point of call is the suburb page in question. This has been debated numerous times on Talk:Recruitment. The main point of this is the subversion of community consensus, it has no guidelines, it arbitraily removes the large groups rule (thereby invalidating months of good faith discussion by Whitehouse, myself and members of the DEM) and has no criteria for removal. Newbie A puts his ad on both pages, I remove it for one of any number of reasons, he doesn't get why = drama ensues. We've seen it before. This is no different to my example of creating a new suggestions system because you were upset over it being a dupe and killed accordingly. There's a reason we have only one of each of these types of systems on the wiki. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== DDR Approved Editor 10:20, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
    This is retarded. The page duplicates information found on the main recruitment page ***AND*** in the suburb group listings. You can click on the link for any group in a given suburb and read their blurb, which always includes recruitment information. While well intentioned this page is a confusing waste of disk space. Delete it already. [addedndum] or else delete the main recruitment page while keeping and expanding this: because THAT page is a terrible and useless mess. --WanYao 02:12, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
  5. Keep I happen to like the idea... It could use some work, but still. And Recruitment by itself is too good at what it does at a glance. Conndrakamod TAZM CFT 11:18, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
  6. Keep - No one seems to have contacted the guy before the page was put, first on a/sd, and now here, despite him posting on the recruitment talk page about it. Although I think that in it's current format, it would be a waste of time upkeeping both systems, I think the idea has merit, perhaps as a simple list page, where groups can provide a simple link to their existing recruitment page entry under the suburbs that they are active in -- boxy talk • teh rulz 13:00 29 October 2008 (BST)
  7. keep i prefer the split by suburbs... The page could do with a bit of work on its guidelines but i think if it can attract more attention then it will be a good and useful page.--Honestmistake 14:20, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
  8. Delete/Move I think every suburb should have its own recruitment page to avoid these incidents. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 07:06, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
  9. Keep - Needs work, as many have pointed out above, but still a useful resource. Possibly the posting guidelines should be standardized with those of the old Recruitment page, to the extent possible. Certainly the Gamer's Haven tag should go. But really, since recruit ads are all templates anyway, what's wrong with being able to use them on two recruitment pages? And added bonus: because of the one-suburb rule, there won't be any DEM ads on this one either. -- Atticus Rex mfu pif Δ 07:03, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

They said the group is still active and in transition. They know that we want to keep the clutter down and to post the pages when they have decided what they are doing. Why not wait a bit and let them get their shit together before we delete them? What happened to CRIT 12? This is a group subpage. I can't believe people are OK with subpages just being deleted.--– Nubis NWO 03:28, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Level 4 header. What are you doing? It was voted to be speedily deleted and it should be deleted. It'll be very easy to recreate a page without any content. I'm deleting it again. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 03:32, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
Crit 1 doesn't make exceptions for group sub pages, and although some latitude should be given to pages with minimal content, a totally blank page, blank for 7 months, still clearly qualifies. If they decide to recreate the pages, then they can do it. It's not like any content is being lost -- boxy talk • teh rulz 09:12 14 November 2008 (BST)
isn't there some rule against creating pages that were speedy deleted?? or is that only restoring them in a capacity identical to their previous capacity??--xoxo 13:28, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
Crit 6, however is is superseded by undeletion requests and this, quite frankly, is ridiculous, it's the kind of request that should be served and followed up on. The group leader says the pages are active the pages stay and we pester him to hurry up and add the content that will be there or redelete them a decent amount of time after the undeletion request. That is all.--Karekmaps?! 16:12, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
Crit 6 wouldn't apply here, unless they recreated pages that were eligible for speedydeletion again. Notice the "the page is a duplicate of a page that has been deleted from a previous deletion request". If the page is a duplicate, in content or intent, to one that was deleted before, it gets trashed on sight, but no sysop should bother if they recreated the pages with content on them. They've had over a week to use the pages, and they don't list them as active (above), so... gorn -- boxy talk • teh rulz 21:19 14 November 2008 (BST)

    No, they shouldn't, for the same reason why Midianian's link/vote is ridiculous; It's a category full of pages(a portal) and it's easier on everyone if it is left the way it is. If someone is looking for similar/related games it is a player resource to provide that information and nothing good comes of changing the way they are now to make it harder on the players/users, if Kevan had issue with it he would have dealt with it(if he doesn't know inform him to see if he does).--Karekmaps?! 19:13, 21 October 2008 (BST)

    My main argument is that it's not serving a purpose in having an entire page devoted to it. This is because it's not a game created by Kevan and because the page is in total disarray. I don't think it's attracting any users from the game either and I don't think we have many people from the wiki joining Cities because of the page.--SirArgo Talk 04:53, 22 October 2008 (BST)
    Yeh it is an ugly page but it's more the principle, why go about deleting links to related games communities outside this network? Why denude the network? As for traffic, well this deletions thread is advertising the page and Cities nicely, I'd bet there's a couple of UD players signed up there already to check it out. You could invite the creators to fix the page and place a UD advert on their wiki ... Or not bother and just delete it.--Zeug 05:03, 22 October 2008 (BST)

  15. Not Voting; biased - Hi, I'm the lead developer of cities, and I'd rather be friendly. We've picked up a few players over the years from this wiki, and are happy to cross pollinate. In the interests of friendlyness, I've knocked up http://wiki.cities.totl.net/index.php/Influences on our wiki (not yet linked in, but will be soon), to give fair and due props to urban dead. Cities is a friendly little cul-de-sac of a game, with only about 500 active users. It's run completely for fun and all costs are absorbed by the admins. It's probably distinctive in MMORPGs that it has more type of object than players. Over 1800 types of item last time I checked. I would appreciate the link remaining, as we tend to get a few quiet types who drift over when zombie apocalypse gets to much and they want a quiet, cheery sort of game. So I'd urge you to vote to keep the link, as it helps our community, and doesn't hurt yours. And the page is linked from, Category:Related_Games, which is a link from your wiki frontpage. To be honest, I can't see any reason not to merge it, as it's clearly another "inspired by", probably the oldest as urban dead was very new when I started on cities. If you want the stats, we recently celebrated the 3rd anniversary of leaving beta, and have 9843 registerd accounts of which about 500 played in the last week. The code-base stands at around 145,000 lines of code. And we've raised over 1000 pounds for charity by selling various boons and items.
