Template talk:SD

Adding some parameters to the template

I'm trying to localize Twinkle for Commons. For CSD function, I've tweaked Twinkle a little bit so that it'll work with this template. The only problem is additional parameters for G8; for example, Twinkle shows a specific option for deleting orphan talk pages with G8. Its alias should be "talk", but "talk" is not a valid speedy deletion criterion; G8 is. The only way I can think of is to add another line of parameters to the #switch function, all linking to G8 by default. Although this change will not break anything, I want to know if anyone knows a better, cleaner way to do it. If there are no suggestions/comments in a few days, I'll do it the way I explained above.

Have twinkle use 'G8' as alias. 'talk' doesn't imply speedy eligibility; 'orphan talk' does. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 19:03, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

@Zhuyifei1999: I do; the point is that we have more than one "G8" options. For example, on talk pages, Twinkle also shows an option for orphan talk, based on G8. Although it is based on G8, it is a separate option for talk namespace, not all namespaces. Maybe I should just drop these options, as Twinkle automatically shows the general "G8" on all namespaces?

How about "G8-orphan-talk"? Dropping extras also sounds fine to me --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 19:15, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

That's also a good suggestion, thanks. The alias is easily changeable, I'm more focused on the work that has to be done on-wiki. Even after editing this template, the result won't be as satisfying as I like it to be. I'll just drop extra options for now. Ahmad^talk 20:52, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

We have another problem: Twinkle checks if a page has proper delete summary in its speedy deletion template. It actually checks for span id="delete-reason". If the template doesn't have this id, Twinkle will not speedy delete the page. As a result, I tweaked the template a little bit here. There are no visible changes applied; it's an invisible piece of code that helps Twinkle detect the deletion reason and validate it. Ahmad^talk 15:36, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

And, if we want to add multiple reasons like "found elsewhere on the web" or "no indication of publication under a free license", we should add parameters to the template. Twinkle gets its reasons from this template, this template gets them from the policy page. So, the only way to implement this is to edit this template. I suggest adding multiple reasons based on MediaWiki:Deletereason-dropdown, things like: "F1-WEB", "F1-IND", "F3-DW", "F3-SS" etc. Ahmad^talk 15:08, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

All moved to Template:SD/T. Ahmad^talk 18:58, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

I saw one user write {{SD|c3}} so {{#switch:{{{1|}}} would be good if it switched to {{#switch:{{uc:{{{1|}}}}} to take account for that.Jonteemil (talk) 08:14, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

F5 not working correctly

F5 is currently just showing the text "F5" and ignoring the second parameter which contains the explanation. —Locke Cole • t • c 18:03, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

@Locke Cole: It's probably intentional. Please see COM:CSD#F5, unlike other criteria where deletion is subject happen instantly, 1 week time is normally given in F5 to provide the missing information, therefore templates like {{No permission since}}, {{No source since}} and {{No license since}} are used. -- CptViraj (talk) 04:28, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Perhaps invoking with F5 should then produce an error and point interested editors to these superior templates? —Locke Cole • t • c 04:32, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

@Jonteemil: Special:Diff/908295324, Please see previous edit by King of Hearts, F5 should not be used for immediate deletion. -- CptViraj (talk) 07:35, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

@CptViraj: Hmm, okay. Please voice your opinion at COM:VP#COM:CSD#G4 which is why I made the edit. Jonteemil (talk) 09:07, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
