Template:Delete/ru/doc

Template:Delete is an admonition that indicates a page should be deleted. This template makes these pages easier for administrators to find and work through, especially if a reason is provided.

Page deletions should usually be reserved for mistakes, as a deleted page may break links. For pages that have been moved, use a redirect. For pages with obsolete content, try merging the content into other articles and then providing a redirect to an appropriate location.

To use this template, insert  which will display a default message. To include a specific reason for the request, insert. Since pages usually get deleted for similar reasons, built-in messages exist to encourage reuse and consistency. A built-in message may be used by providing the name of that message. For example, both  and   indicate that the page should be deleted due to meaningless or nonsensical content.

Standard responses
This template has built-in reasons for some common scenarios which can be automatically included in lieu of a full reason. For example, request the deletion of a sandbox by inserting. Many aliases also exist for these messages, such as "senseless", "not useful", and "nonsense" to refer to "random".

random
The "random" message is used for a page that appears to have been used to test out the wiki. Some examples include nonsense such as a single word or letter.

irrelevant
The "irrelevant" message is used for a page that does not appear to be relevant to this project. Some examples include random code listings or a list of files.

obsolete
The "obsolete" message indicates a page is no longer used. This should only be used for pages that do not have historical value.

mistake
The "mistake message indicates a page was created by accident. This should only be used if the page was created in error, such as a incorrect filename or a uncommon misspelling. Common misspellings should be changed to redirects.
