Notes

  • This template is only for pages that are likely to be re-created in unencyclopedic form or against policy. Do not place it on every deleted page!
  • Do not substitute this template.
  • Only administrators should place this template as the page must be protected as well.


Usage
The page on which this template is placed is automatically categorised into Category:Protected deleted pages. See also Wikipedia:Protected deleted pages and User:DumbBOT/TimeSortedPD.

  1. Add this to a page using {{deletedpage}}.
  2. To categorise by month, type {{deletedpage|Month Year}}. For example, {{deletedpage|January 2007}}.
  3. For stub templates and categories, type {{deletedpage|stub=yes}}. This makes the template link to SfD instead of CfD/TfD.
  4. Use the votepage parameter to link to the specific AfD/MfD page. For example, type {{deletedpage|votepage=The Game (game) (6th nomination)}} on The Game (game) to link to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Game (game) (6th nomination), instead of the default link to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Game (game).
  5. Protect the page and use a descriptive edit summary.

Self Reference
This template is a self-reference and so is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopaedic content.
