Confirm

I've highlighted the word confirm. User:Nichalp/sg 11:16, August 6, 2005 (UTC)

Important notice

I added an important reminder to the page since I notice that a number of admins seem to forget it. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 07:48, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I removed

It is your responsibility to do the deletion cleanly and not leave broken links, broken redirects, or red boxes in articles.

Although it's nice to clean articles, it is not required. I rarely do it: only admins can delete images, whereas anyone can clean redlinks from articles. dbenbenn | talk 18:31, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

There's no reason why you shouldn't do it: deleted images usually only a few (if not one) page(s) linking to them, and unless you're on a mass-deletion spree, it's very helpful. Perhaps a suggestion that "It is greatly recommended that you clean up after the deletion and not leave broken links, broken redirects, or red boxes in articles." — Ambush Commander^(Talk) 03:22, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I am always on a mass-deletion spree. Check out Category:Images with unknown source, Category:Images with unknown copyright status, and their sub-categories. Admins are barely able to keep up with deleting images; I truly don't have the time to also worry about removing links from articles. dbenbenn | talk 22:07, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

...along with all of its history.

Do we really need "history" to be a link to the page's history? If the page has a history a reminder always comes up anyway. -- Francs 2000 03:19, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That is very true. But this could be for the newbies. However, I too feel that this is a bit redundent. --S iva1979^{Talk to me} 20:24, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I find it useful, especially with popups. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 21:06, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Link to page log

After having read Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Daniel Brandt deletion wheel war, I boldly added a link to the page log [1]. I hope this is useful. --Ligulem 10:46, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've narrowed the link to deletes and restores [2]. --Ligulem 14:12, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Inappropriate?

What does "inappropriate content" mean? Staecker 19:50, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Outdated code for image namespace

In the current code of this message the part

{{#switch:{{NAMESPACE}}|Image='''Also check the file links ...

is wrong, since a completely different message is shown when you delete a file. This part should be replaced with something like

{{#switch:{{NAMESPACE}}|{{ns:Image}}=
{{#ifexist:Media:{{PAGENAME}}
|This is a local page of [[commons:image:{{PAGENAME}}|Commons image]]
|This is a page of non-existent image
}}

And the #switch should be merged with the following #ifeq. —AlexSm 04:21, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion discussion

We discussed at Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#Deletion_reason of the importance to link to the discussion when a deletion is based on a deletion discussion, I propose to add this:

If you intend to delete as a result of a deletion debate, link the discussion in the deletion log.
