This is a template page, that should be obvious

New page

{{Documentation header}}
{{shortcut|D}}
This template is used to mark a page for deletion if it is a violation of the [[MCW:Wiki rules|wiki rules]] or per author/user request, explaining the reasons of why it needs to be deleted. Any page using this template are added to [[:Category:Pending deletion]].

When marking non-redirect pages for deletion, the content should not be blanked (simply put the delete template above all the content). The only exceptions to this are if the page is a blatant attack page, a copyright violation, contains personal/sensitive information, or something along those lines, though it would be preferable to use {{t|speedy delete}} in such cases after blanking.

When marking a redirect for deletion, the delete template should always go '''below''' the redirect, as this will make the redirect still function for normal readers but will still add it to the [[:Category:Pending deletion|pending deletion category]].

== Usage ==
<pre style="display: table">{{delete|1|2|priority=Optional prioritizer}}</pre>

* The {{p|1}} parameter adds a reason.
* The {{p|2}} parameter changes the section name where the "discuss" button will lead on the talk page.
* The {{p|priority}} parameter makes the template show higher in the category.

=== Examples ===
<pre>
{{Delete}}
</pre>

{{Delete|nocat=1}}

<pre>
{{Delete|Reason}}
</pre>

{{Delete|Reason|nocat=1}}

<pre>
{{Delete||Section}}
</pre>

{{Delete||Section|nocat=1}}
