View source for Template:Db doc

<!-- This template, {{Db doc}}, serves as the documentation for all of the 
speedy deletion templates.  The speedy deletion criterion, e.g. G1, is 
passed into this template as a parameter, and it displays the documentation
appropriate for that template.  It's transcluded into each template as
a documentation page seen at, for example, [[Template:db-g1]] but not
displayed when the template is used. 

It begins by turning the documentation green, putting the heading "Template documentation" (with a little image) and the notice "This documentation is transcluded from Template:db doc."

This template is used to tag pages for speedy deletion under the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion criteria]]{{#ifeq:{{{1}}}|DB||, specifically [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#{{{1}}}|CSD {{{1}}}]]}}.  There is a separate template for each criterion &ndash; see the table to the right.

<!-- Categories mentioned here should correspond with the
categories in the corresponding CSD templates.
-->This template places the page into the {{#switch:{{{1}}}|G1|G3|G7|G10|G11|G12|A7|R1|F1|F2|F3|F9|U1|T1|T2|T3|T4|A1|A3=categories: [[:Category:Candidates for speedy deletion|Candidates for speedy deletion]], and [[:Category:{{db doc/othercats|{{{1}}}}}|{{db doc/othercats|{{{1}}}}}]]|C1= [[:Category:{{db doc/othercats|{{{1}}}}}]]|category&#058; [[:Category:Candidates for speedy deletion|Candidates for speedy deletion]]}}{{#switch:{{{1}}}
|T3=&#32;seven days after they are tagged
|C1=&#32;four days after they are tagged
}}.

{{#switch:{{{1}}}|C2=
Please note that this template is not the correct process for ''requesting'' a speedy-rename of a category. Use {{tl|cfr-speedy}} for that purpose; this template will be used in the process of ''completing'' a request posted through that procedure.
}}

== Usage ==

The template should be placed at the top of the page to be deleted.

===Parameters===

{{#switch:{{{1}}}|G4=
:{{#switch:{{{1}}}
|G4=Please note that this template is '''only''' to be used for reposting of content previously deleted via an XfD-type discussion.
|#default=

}}
<tt><nowiki>{{</nowiki>db-{{lc:{{{1}}}}}{{db doc/compulsory|{{{1}}} }}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></tt>

:{{#switch:{{{1}}}
|A2=Where "SourceProject" is the project or language code and ''SourcePageName'' is the name of the page from which the content was taken.
|A10=Where ''article'' is the title of the existing article which has been duplicated. A first unnamed parameter may be used instead of the ''article'' parameter. (Note, an error message is displayed if the article is not specified.)
|G6=If the {{para|rationale}} parameter is not specified, the default is "This page needs to be deleted to merge histories, reverse a redirect, or perform other non-controversial housekeeping tasks." Unless you need to delete the page for one of these reasons, please specify in this parameter why the page needs to be deleted.  Consider also using one of the alternative templates listed [[#See also|below]].
|unpatrolled=The need for this template is only temporary. Once [https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17463 Bugzilla case 17463] gets fixed, this specific template may be deleted. A page that must be recreated with this template should contain ''only'' this template <!-- Please remove this parameter as well when the bug gets fixed -->
|G12=Where ''sourceurl'' is the full URL of the page from which the content was taken.
|T3=Where ''TemplateName'' is the name of the template which has been duplicated or hardcoded

<tt><nowiki>{{db-t3|~~~~~|</nowiki>rationale=''ExampleReason''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></tt>
|F3=
|P1=Where ''Criterion'' is the g- or a-series CSD criterion for which the portal page would be eligible if it were in the article namespace
|#default=This is the most basic form of the template
}}.

<tt><nowiki>{{</nowiki>db-{{lc:{{{1}}}}}<nowiki>|bot=ExampleBot</nowiki>{{db doc/compulsory|{{{1}}} }}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></tt>

:[[WP:BOT|Bot accounts]] will specify the <code><nowiki>|bot=</nowiki></code> parameter to notify the reviewing admin that the page was tagged by an automated process.<!--

:{{#switch:{{{1}}}
|G4=Where ''DeletionDiscussionLink'' is the pagename of the most recent [[Wikipedia:Deletion process|XfD]] discussion. This parameter should be specified if the page was previously deleted under a different name, or in a non-obvious location (such as a 2nd or subsequent nomination).  If this parameter is not specified, the default is [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/{{PAGENAME}}|Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/<nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki>]] 
|G7=Where ''DeletionRationale'' is a specific explanation of why the page should be deleted, which will be displayed in red after the standard text.  A rationale ''must'' be provided to delete user talk pages
|G8=If the current date is passed to the template using five tildes, the template will incorporate a delay, and only list the page in [[:Category:Candidates for speedy deletion]] after seven days.  Consider doing this if the talk page has been recently edited, as there may be useful discussions ongoing there
|G10=Please also blank the page when applying this tag.
|A5=Where ''TranswikiLocation'' is the URL of the page to which the article has been transwiki'd.
|A7=Where ''TypeOfEntity'' is the type of subject the article is about (band, company, website, etc).  Please ensure that the entity is one of those listed in the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#A7|CSD criterion]], and consider instead using one of the more specific templates listed [[#See also|below]]. Note that books, albums, software etc., or [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Schools/Criteria for Speedy Deletion A7|schools]], are specifically not allowed under this criterion.
|C3=Where ''Template'' is the name of the template which used to populate the category
|F8=Where ''NameOnCommons'' is the name of the duplicate image at [[commons:Main page|commons]], '''if''' this is different to the name on Wikipedia.  If this parameter is not specified, it is assumed that the image name is the same
|F9=Where ''URL'' is the complete URL of the webpage from which the image appears to have been copied
|U1=Where ''DiffLink'' is a URL for a [[WP:DIFF|diff]] showing where the user requested deletion.  This is obviously not required if the user places the template, or if the deletion request is on the listed page
|C2=Where ''NewCategory'' is the name of the new category that the page is being speedily-renamed to. 
}}{{#if:{{db doc/warningtemps|{{{1}}}}}|

== Author notification ==

If you nominate a page for deletion under this criterion, please consider placing the following code:

{{tlsp|{{db doc/warningtemps|{{{1}}}}}|''PageName''<nowiki>|</nowiki>header=1{{#switch:{{{1}}}
|A2=<nowiki>|source=</nowiki>''SourceProject:SourcePageName''
|G12|F9=<nowiki>|url=</nowiki>''URL''
|F7=<nowiki>|</nowiki>''CurrentTag''
}}}}

On the User talk page of the main contributor(s) to the page, replacing ''PageName'' with the name of the page being marked for deletion{{#switch:{{{1}}}|A2=, ''SourceProject'' with the project or language code and ''SourcePageName'' with the name of the page from which the content was taken|G12|F9=, and ''URL'' with the URL from which the material was plagiarised|F7=, and ''CurrentTag'' with the name of the [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags|image copyright]] tag used on the image}}.  This will display the following [[Wikipedia:User warning templates|user warning template]]:

<div style="background:white; border:thin forestgreen;">{{ {{db doc/warning templates|{{{1}}}}} }}</div>
