: Mark, it sounds like you're looking for another template, which is what I was trying to suggest about temporary pages.  To me it doesn't make sense to make something for deletion unless the idea is to delete it.  If we want to mark something as temporary (a scratch space, or a placeholder that we're willing to hold for some time, but not longer), then I think we need different tags for those functions.  No need to be one size fits all.

I guess I don't agree.  Obviously, what's new right? :-)  I am looking for the '''WikiIsSlow''' nature of the '''WikiWay'''. I am not comfortable with quick deletions, except for blatently obvious spam.  I want to give more space to others for them to explore.  I am not sure if it feels like a [[Meatball:ColdBlanket]] or what, but it doesn't ''feel'' right to me. Also, I am interested in a KISS philosophy, why have two pages for deletion when one will do. (this concern also has to do with ''talk'' pages)
* off topic, I am excited to get the '''Meatball:'''  interlink - but not sure how or why it is happening. anyone? [[MarkDilley]]

Mark, it sounds like you're looking for another template, which is what I was trying to suggest about temporary pages. To me it doesn't make sense to make something for deletion unless the idea is to delete it. If we want to mark something as temporary (a scratch space, or a placeholder that we're willing to hold for some time, but not longer), then I think we need different tags for those functions. No need to be one size fits all. TedErnst | talk 16:41, 27 Mar 2006 (EST)


I guess I don't agree. Obviously, what's new right? :-) I am looking for the WikiIsSlow nature of the WikiWay. I am not comfortable with quick deletions, except for blatently obvious spam. I want to give more space to others for them to explore. I am not sure if it feels like a Meatball:ColdBlanket or what, but it doesn't feel right to me. Also, I am interested in a KISS philosophy, why have two pages for deletion when one will do. (this concern also has to do with talk pages)
