Template:Db

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Db (short for "delete because") is a template used to mark articles for deletion.

Usage

• By placing {{db|reason=reason}} at the top of a page, a deletion banner will appear with the specified reason in text. If no reason is given, the banner will display "no specified reason" to reflect that.
• Using this template places the page into Category:Articles for deletion.

The following table contains reason keywords that automatically fill the banner with relevant information:

Reason	Description
abandoned	For pages that have been left unfinished, containing little or no relevant information
author	For deletion requests initiated by the author, provided that they are the biggest contributor to the page
blank	For pages void of any information
scope	For pages that have content unrelated to Alathra
move	For articles that have been moved to a different page and where a redirect is not necessary
