Discussion

Name

Shouldn't this template have another name [than Db-owner]? Something like Please-delete? --Wintermute314 18:58, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. Db-owner sounds kind of strange. I don't know what to do with it right now though. --Yanwen 20:14, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

db-meta self=yes

The standard instructions and the disclaimer "do not remove this notice from pages that you have created yourself" don't quite make sense here, do they? Femto 12:30, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Usage

I know it's pretty self-explanatory, but would someone who's more knowledgeable than I put the "Usage" of this page on here? Thanks! -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 15:15, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Candidates for speedy deletion by user

I added the above category to the template as speedy deletions under CSD U1 are quickly taken care of. No need for them to clog CAT:CSD up. --Brad Beattie (talk) 07:18, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

does this really need to be checked?

Currently, the template says

Administrators, remember to check what links here, the page history (last edit), the page log, and any revisions of CSD before deletion.

Do our admins really need to spend their precious time for that? This seems like a case of instruction creep. It seems to me that all that needs to be checked is the last edit - and only to find out if it was really the user themself who posted this. — Sebastian 05:36, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

All the speedy deletion templates use that text. I personally check that sort of stuff before I delete anything. --- RockMFR 05:53, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you think it's worth your time? Is it just because it's easier to keep a consistent habit, or do you think there's really value in checking these things in the userspace? — Sebastian 06:30, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

bad that this needs to exist

Everybody ought to be able to delete their own pages! At minimum, the delete tab should appear when a user is in their own area. Probably it is better to always show the tab though, giving the full set of options that are available:

oversight delete (oversight priv)
regular delete (admin, owner of user page, or sole editor and page not a move-generated redirect)
mark for speedy delete
mark for VfD

Those last two ought to insert the correct wiki text. Lots of people screw it up. VfD is particularly hard, as it requires multiple page edits (and really ought to happen in one database transaction).

For each type of deletion that is not allowed or not possible, a reason should be shown.

BTW, if somebody knows where to put this in as a feature request, please do so.
