Template:Moderationdeletions

This page is for the request of page deletions within the Scroll Wars wiki. Due to concerns about loss of data, the ability to delete pages is restricted to the Moderators. As such, regular users will need to request a deletion from the Moderators. For consistency and accountability, Moderators 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 done easily by adding ~ to the end of your request.

In addition to placing a request on this page, please place the   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 Moderator.

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 these two weeks, the appropriate action will be taken by a Moderator, and at the end of that day the request will be moved into the Archive.

Deletion of pages that match a certain criteria may be better serviced by a request for a Speedy Deletion. Speedy Deletions are for the 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 Moderation/Speedy Deletions.

Guidelines for Voting on Deletion Requests

 * One vote per user.
 * Voting should take place underneath the request, and each vote should be entered as a dot point.
 * 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. Moderators 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 circumnstance, 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.
