Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion/Creating a new criterion

This page lists the items that need to or should be updated when creating a new speedy deletion criterion; many will also need changing if updating an existing criterion. These changes should only be made after consensus has been achieved at WT:CSD or some other similarly trafficked page.

Basic functionality

 * Update Criteria for speedy deletion (duh) and create a shortcut (e.g., WP:G2).
 * Update Module:Csdcheck with the new criterion (Note: template-editor protected).
 * Create (or move) the appropriate template. Templates are named by letter and number (e.g., Template:Db-g2) with shortcuts redirecting there (e.g., db-test redirects to db-g2).
 * If appropriate, create (or move) the category (Category:Candidates for speedy deletion as...). Ensure it is applied by the above template and contains the default headers.
 * If appropriate, create (or move) the notification template using the shortcut name (e.g., db-test-notice). Add the notice to Template:Db-notice-multiple.  Do the same for the post-deletion notification and Template:Db-deleted-multiple.
 * Update MediaWiki:Deletereason-dropdown (Note: fully-protected).
 * If appropriate, create (or move) the hangon preload template (e.g., Template:Hangon preload G12) and add it to Template:Db-meta.
 * Update Sdd4
