Both options hurts if new people want to figure out what we're doing and we're not clear about it ourselves. If we're going to keep two, we either need to document them and explain how they're different in their use, or document them as two different ways to do the same thing, as a personal preference kind of thing. I like the template because it puts those pages into a category, where I can see all pages marked for deletion. DeletedPage is more difficult to use because it requires me to check backlinks, which aren't exactly easy to find. I was thinking about this more overnight and I really like the idea that pages aren't deleted right away. Maybe we could have a different template for each month, and then at the end of the month following (or in the middle or whatever), those pages could be deleted. Otherwise, I see no way to know when a page should be deleted.

:The " | :The "Deleted page" template doesn't seem to be in use at the moment -- [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Deleted page]]. Is that because it is so incredibly useful that sysops have already gone through and deleted every page that transcluded that template? Or is that because no one uses that template any more, and we ought to delete it now to eliminate the above-mentioned confusion? --[[User:DavidCary|DavidCary]] 03:27, 21 June 2009 (EDT) | ||
