Template:Deltab

Template documentation

__EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__

This code will add an "X deletion" tab to your edit screen. When you press that tab, the following line will be automatically added to the page (using {{subst:deletion sorting}}):

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of X-related deletion discussions. -- ~~~~

X is whatever topic area you have specified. For instance, if you selected "China," the line would be:

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of China-related deletion discussions. -- ~~~~

This script only works for pages in the Wikipedia: namespace if they have "for discussion" or "for deletion" in their pagenames (for example, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion or Wikipedia:Categories for discussion).

Use

To use this script, add the following line to your monobook.js file and then clear your cache:

{{subst:Deltab|X}}

Replace X with your area of interest. Thus, if your area of interest is China, you would type:

{{subst:Deltab|China}}

Alternatively, you can add the above code to a different subpage of yours - the name does not matter, as long as it ends in .js - and then add this line to your monobook.js:

importScript('User:Your_user_name/name_of_page.js');

So, for instance, if you named the page "delsort.js" (and your username happened to be "Example"), you would add this to your monobook.js:

importScript('User:Example/delsort.js');

Save changes, flush your cache and you're ready to start tagging discussions!
