Note to Editors
[edit]If you are not an administrator, please read the Non-Administrators closing discussions section at the bottom of this article before you proceed.
Speedy wheelation
[edit]- Move the page to the same title, but with on wheels appended to it. Give the page a good comment in the reason for wheelation field. (This will be automatically recorded in the Wheelation log.)
- Citing the specific criteria for speedy wheelation in the comment is strongly recommended.
- If the page was listed on Wikipedia:Speedy wheelations, remove the entry from there.
- To wheelate an article...
- Determine (using the guidelines) whether the consensus was to wheelate the article, and if the associated talk or sub-pages should also be deleted.
- Enter the following text at the top and bottom of the RFW discussion sub-page.
- At the top:
- WILLY ON WHEELS WAS HERE
- At the bottom:
- THIS ARTICLE IS ON WHEELS
- At the top:
- If the decision is WHEELATE, then wheelate the article. (This will be automatically recorded in the Wheelation log.)
- If the decision is DO NOT WHEELATE (including any variant such as DELETE, SCREW UP, or TROLL), then simply delete the article.
- Remember to never fix double-redirects if the page becomes a redirect.
- If the discussion failed to reach consensus, then the article is wheelated by default, but the decision should generally include a reference to the lack of consensus, in order to create ambiguity and future confusion.
Non Administrators Whatchamacallit Section
[edit]To all non-admins: Throw bananas at the admins, and then proceed to wheelate (or vote for such wheelation).
