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, go to 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.

Deletion Queue

Knights_of_St_Jude

The group was founded without realizing that there was another group with the same name (Knights of Saint Jude). The group has changed the name to Guardians of Saint Jude and created a new wiki page, this one simply redirects to the new page. The page has not been modified except by the original author. ---—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Deaddmwalking (talk • contribs) 12:41, 5 December 2009 (EST).

  1. Delete - Simply linking to the new page is different to a redirect. I've turned it into a disambig page, but there's little use for it really. The only link (other than from here) is from Kcnoles user page -- boxy talk • teh rulz 06:22 5 December 2009 (BST)

  7. Keep? I don't understand what we're deleting. The group page appears to be legit, and I can't find a redundant Knights of St Jude page. Are we deleting the disambig page or what?Delete--GANG Giles Sednik CAPD 20:34, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
    We're deleting the disambig page.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 20:35, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

  8. Delete - The disambig isn't really useful. --ZsL 22:57, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
  9. Delete - Can someone please render this entire case useless by making it a redirect --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 05:50, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
    I've made the page a redirect and rendered this entire case useless. If you go ahead with the deletion, please don't delete the wrong page! --Jonny America 04:16, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Anti-zombie squad/Western Division and redirect

Doesn't qualify as SD Crit 7 since I didn't create it, so I'm adding it here. Branch of the group's disbanded, no longer needed.

Random Events

Don't think its going anywhere, so delete? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 17:32, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

  1. Delete - Interesting stuff, but more sensible to have on DevSug or a user's sandbox to better develop than keep in the mainspace. --Maverick Talk - OBR Praise Knowledge! 404 17:41, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
  2. Keep - Even just for half an hour so I can rejigger it into my userspace, the flavour aspect seems worthwhile. Delete - I nabbed it. Nabbed it good. Strength is just an accident arising from the weakness of others 17:42, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
    Go ahead, its all yours. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 17:44, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Chekken Award

This image has been placed on my talk page for no reason other than to personally slander my name. It is derogatory and offensive. The comments added during the upload of the picture confirms this. I would like to respectfully request it's removal. It has (thankfully) not been used in any other way. --Chekken 01:34, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

  1. Keep - I was in the middle of fixing your mistake when you edit conflicted me by fixing it yourself. :P That being said, I'm going to go ahead and defend this. Much like some recent ado about a group's sub-page, this falls under personal use, which I'm pretty sure keeps it from being deleted. Its use on your talk page could possibly be looked at, but I don't feel I can vote for deletion of the image itself. Strength is just an accident arising from the weakness of others 01:39, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
    I understand where you're coming from. As I have deleted the image from my talk page, I feel that the image is no longer personal use; it is now "public domain", meaning that anyone can use it. --Chekken 01:51, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
  2. Delete - Keep the inflammatory personal attack images where they belong... Brainstock --THE Godfather of Яesensitized, Anime Sucks Yalk | W! U! WMM| CC CPFOAS DORISFlag.jpg LOE ZHU | Яezzens 01:46, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
  3. Keep - If this is deleted by anything other than a majority after two weeks I'm going through DDR's userspace and killing nearly everything. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== DDR Approved Editor 03:30, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
  4. Keep - Similar to Misanthropy. The image is not linked to anywhere else on the wiki, so it's only purpose was to get a rise out of you (which it did). So I wouldn't worry about it. --Maverick Talk - OBR Praise Knowledge! 404 07:20, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
  5. Keep' - It's actually funny and tasteful, unlike most attack images. Like the Amber Waves one. :/ -- SA 20:16, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

  10. Keep - Get over it. --ZsL 07:12, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
  11. Keep - Yup looks like fun. I smell a new template.--GANG Giles Sednik CAPD 23:57, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
    Yep, I'll be making one soon once I finish thinking of how I want it to look.-- SA 23:58, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
