Usage

Basic usage

{{Delete|reason}}

To use this template, place it at the top of the page. Do not blank or remove the contents of the page.

Unnamed parameter is used for stating the reason for deletion. If an admin finds the reason insufficient or it hasn't been given at all, they may contact the editor who requested the deletion for further information or simply not move forwards with the deletion.

Showcasing

{{Delete|reason|includecat=no}}

includecat parameter prevents the page from being included in the Category:Articles to be Deleted. Use value "no" if you wish only to showcase the template. Any other value or leaving the parameter empty will cause the template to operate normally. Leave empty if you want the page to be deleted!

Example

{{Delete|Accidental duplicate page}}

Note that the text "This template is queued for deletion" will change depending on the type of the page.
