When a page is obvious [[WoWWiki:Vandal|spam]], or is deprecated by a new page and has no need to be [[WoWWiki:Redirect|redirected]], or for some other reason you think it should be removed from the wiki, then you can mark it as a [[WoWWiki:Candidate for deletion|candidate for deletion]]. Please use discretion when doing this as it is a direct violation of the spirit of a wiki if not the policy of this wiki - it destroys the atmosphere of trust and collaboration. If you still think it is best for the article to be removed, then there are several steps you must take. (See below for some exceptions).

−

:{{icon-exclamation}}If a page has had useful content, but it has been moved somewhere else (because of merging, fixing naming, etc) it is '''normally''' best to '''{{l|redirect}} it'''!

−

:Outside sources (including search engines) keep old links into WoWWiki - it is in our best interest to keep them working!

−

==Steps to mark a page for deletion==

−

−

If you have decided, for one reason or another, that a page needs to be deleted, there are several steps you should take.

−

#Place the ''candidate for deletion'' [[WoWWiki:Template|template tag]] at the '''very top''' of the article - type exactly <code>{{tlink|Delete}}</code> as the very first line of the article.

−

#*This will place a large banner at the top of the page, notifying visitors that it is a candidate for deletion, and that their vote on the talk page would be appreciated.

−

#*This will also place the article in [[:Category:Candidates for deletion]].

−

#Save the article.

−

#Place the ''deletion candidate talk'' [[WoWWiki:Template|template tag]] at the '''very top''' of the article's talk page - type exactly <code>{{subst|Delete/Talk}}</code> as the very first line of the page.

−

#:(You may also provide a reason directly: <code>{{subst1|Delete/Talk|needs to be deleted because ...}}</code>)

−

#*You will automatically be registered as the first vote to delete.

−

#*This will place a large banner at the top of the talk page, explaining to visitors how to vote.

−

#*This will also add the voting booth to the page, where visitors can place their actual votes.

−

#*Finally, this will add the talk page to [[:Category: Votes in progress]] so that members wishing to participate in the [[WoWWIki:Democracy|democratic process]] can find it among the lists of votes in progress..

−

#Save the talk page.

−

#You are done! Tell your friends to go vote their heart on the article, and see below to know when to mark it terminate and / or remove the delete candidate listing!

−

</div>

−

==What to do next==

−

−

Now that the page is marked for deletion, you wait for enough members to vote before anything actually happens:

−

*When either side (for or against deletion) is winning by a '''three (3) vote margin''', the vote is [[WoWWiki:Democracy/Vote pending closure|pending closure]].

−

{{Infobox|Setting a vote to <nowiki>{{Delete/Closing}}</nowiki> is optional -- it only makes done votes easier to find and act on after the 5 days have passed. If you are unsure, leave it at <nowiki>{{Delete/Vote}}</nowiki>}}

−

*Once a vote is pending closure, you wait '''five (5) days''' from when the last vote was cast (look at the timestamps on the votes). During this time you can change the <code>{{tlink|Delete/Vote}}</code> tag at the top of talk page to <code>{{tlink|Delete/Closing}}</code> to mark that the vote is in this period.

−

**If the losing side does not reach get within '''3''' votes of the winning side within the 5 days, then the vote is [[WoWWiki:Democracy/Vote closed|closed]].

−

**If, however, the losing side gets within '''3''' votes, the page leaves the pending closure state until one side is winning by a '''3''' vote margin again. ''If the ''<code>{{tlink|Delete/Closing}}</code>'' tag is on the talk page it should be replaced with the ''<code>{{tlink|Delete/Vote}}</code>'' tag again.''

−

=== Once the vote closes ===

−

Once a vote is closed, the action for the appropriate side is taken:

−

*If the '''Delete''' votes have it:

−

*# Replace <code>{{tlink|Delete/Closing}}</code> tag in the talk page with <code>{{tlink|Terminate}}</code>. ''The voting booth and associated votes are left for the admin to review''.

−

*# Replace <code>{{tlink|Delete}}</code> tag in the article page itself with <code>{{tlink|Terminate}}</code> tag to mark the article as one that an admin needs to delete.

−

*# Check [[help:What links here|What links here]] and remove links to the article being terminated from live articles.

−

** The article will be removed the next time and administrator comes on and checks [[:Category:Terminated articles]] for new articles to remove.

−

*If the '''Keep''' votes win:

−

*# Remove <code>{{tlink|Delete}}</code> from the article page itself.

−

*# In the talk page, replace <code>{{tlink|Delete/Closing}}</code> with <code>{{tlink|Willkeep}}</code>.

−

*# Leave the vote in for future reference.

−

</div>

−

</div>

−

=Speedy Delete=

−

−

If you still feel a page should be deleted quickly, and probably doesn't need a vote, you can use the ''[[WoWWiki:Speedy deletion|speedy deletion]]'' process.

−

If you mark a page as <code>{{tlink|Speedydelete}}</code>, an admin will look at it and either:

−

* Remove the page if they feel it should be removed

−

* If they do not feel it should be removed without a vote they will change it from a speedy delete, to the standard deletion vote in accordance with this policy.

−

Qualifications for speedy delete:

−

#The page was edited by only one significant contributor (such as – but not exclusively – a user page) and:

−

#* the author requests deletion (possibly by deleting his own content without knowing about deletion tags)

−

#* another user decides according to other qualifications

−

#The page has never had any content - especially if it appears that it will never have any content

−

#Violation of other {{L|policies}} where the consequence is deletion, e.g. [[vandalism]]

−

Review the [[WoWWiki:Speedy deletion|Speedy deletion policy]] for more information. Misuse could be construed as [[vandalism]]

−

Any user can remove the <code>{{tlink|Speedydelete}}</code> tag and replace it with a standard deletion vote in accordance with this policy if they feel the page should not be deleted without a vote.
