Template:Db notice doc/lead/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template is used to create the lead section for the documentation pages of the different speedy deletion notification templates. This template affects all of the notification templates - if you only want to edit the documentation for one particular notification template, please go back to the documentation page for that template and add your new text directly after the {{db notice doc/lead}} text.

Usage

[edit]

This template should usually be transcluded. However, it is also possible to substitute it if a customized version is needed for an individual documentation page.

Basic usage

[edit]
{{db notice doc/lead
|criterion       = <!-- G1, G3, A7, etc. -->
|criterion-desc  = <!-- patent nonsense, vandalism, etc. -->
|speedy-template = <!-- db-nonsense, db-vandalism, etc. -->
}}

Parameters

[edit]
|criterion=
This is the abbreviation of the speedy deletion criterion used by the notice. For example, G1, G3, or A7.
|criterion-desc=
A short description of the speedy deletion criterion. For example, patent nonsense or vandalism.
|speedy-template=
The speedy deletion template used in conjunction with the warning template. For example, db-nonsense or db-vandalism.

Substituting

[edit]

If the text of this template is too restrictive and you want to make a custom version for an individual template documentation page, you can substitute the template. To do this, simply add subst: after the two opening curly braces to the template that already exists on the documentation page:

{{subst:db notice doc/lead
|criterion       = <!-- G1, G3, A7, etc. -->
|criterion-desc  = <!-- patent nonsense, vandalism, etc. -->
|speedy-template = <!-- db-nonsense, db-vandalism, etc. -->
}}

After you have substituted the template, you can customize the text however you want.
