Template talk:Being deleted

No small version
This needs an inline a small version. Otherwise it should be be entirely noincluded--Doug.(talk • contribs) 08:42, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅ - well partially, I've made one but it currently has issues with the links it creates back to the discussion.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 09:09, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I've removed it entirely for the mainspace, as it is an eyesore that runs afoul of WP:NAVEL. Magog the Ogre (talk) 11:00, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Please revert this series of changes and unprotect this template. There has been no discussion for this change to prevent the display of the small notice in mainspace (a la tfd) and as a transitional template which is transcluded on an infrequent basis, it does not require full protection per High-risk templates and Protection policy. --Tothwolf (talk) 15:37, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
 * 14K transclusions, mostly in the mainspace? I think it needs full protection. Magog the Ogre (talk) 15:53, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
 * And the discussion was immediately above. Magog the Ogre (talk) 15:54, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
 * One comment made by someone in November 2009 does not count as "discussion", and that comment was related to creating the small display version, not removing it. --Tothwolf (talk) 16:01, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
 * by WP:BRD. Magog: if you make a bold edit to a protected page, you should immediately revert on request. Having said this I can understand the reasons behind the edit. &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:58, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Removed #ifexist and default to the currentdate
I have removed the #ifexist as we only use for discussion, this was only useful for a few days and clutters the code. Also, use of the current date's log as a default is of little value, the date that Being deleted is added will never (except in rare speedy close as delete decisions) be the page on which the discussion exists and then only for one day. I removed the currentdate as a default parameter and defaulted to simply bold text with no link. The only meaningful alternative would be to link it to the TFD main page and that is only two words further on.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 12:55, 13 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I was wrong, there is a large list of a single template out there that is still from the for deletion days. I've restored that part of the code and added it to the miniature version that now transcludes through to the target pages.  Tested and it seems to work for all instances that I can easily create.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 21:15, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
 * BTW, the default to the currentdate still appears unnecessary and pointless but I have left it for now rather than mess with the code further tonight. I thought it better just to copy back the old code for now.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 21:17, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Freshly coffeed, I've gone back in removed the currentdate code again for the same reasons stated above. The only reason I added it back in was to reverse the erroneous removal of the #ifexist.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 08:33, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

More extraneous code
I've removed one  as unnecessary as well as the   as a relic from when the documentation was on the same page.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 17:41, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Category:Templates_for_deletion
Should this categorize into Category:Templates_for_deletion as it currently does? It messes a little bit with WP:AAlerts, but that can survive either way. I'm asking because it seems tagged templates aren't exactly for discussion anymore, rather waiting for some work to be done before getting nicked. — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 19:43, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Template-protected edit request on 27 January 2014
I've made a small tweak to the wording to make it more immediately obvious where to click to get to the relevant discussion; see and the testcases page.
