Template talk:Afd

It doesn't matter in this one since it's looking in the page title, but generally it's better to look for "mage:" instead of "Image:" because the comparison is case-sensitive.--Hardvice (talk) 14:06, 3 March 2007 (EST)

• Thanks, that's good to know. I actually switched it because I wanted it to say "image" on the images, and it wasn't. I thought that might have been the problem ... I've give myself quite the education this afternoon! :) — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 14:35, 3 March 2007 (EST)
  • Oh, OK. I just didn't want the infobox to get broken. There, since we're testing against user input, I used "mage:" so it will work whether the user types "Image:" or "image:"--Hardvice (talk) 14:47, 3 March 2007 (EST)
• Was it really not working? I just checked a few about twenty minutes ago and they looked fine to me.--Hardvice (talk) 15:19, 3 March 2007 (EST)
• If you haven't seen my change yet to this template, check it out. Should be able to do the comparison against "Image" by using the ucfirst function in the comparison. Granted it makes no difference for this template, but I also updated Template:Character box where it does help. (Admin 15:23, 3 March 2007 (EST))
  • Actually, it's not working perfectly yet... but it should work. (Admin 15:25, 3 March 2007 (EST))
    • Yeah, all you have to do is normalize the string and make it all lowercase using {{lc:}} when doing the comparison. (Admin 16:01, 3 March 2007 (EST))

Discussion page

• Wouldn't it be good to provide a link to the discussion page to discuss the deletion even if it doesn't exist already? (Admin 00:42, 6 March 2007 (EST))
  • I agree -- it's not too much trouble to go to the discussion page and just type something simple: "This article is nominated for deletion". In fact, I think it's a pretty good idea to keep it because it encourages us to discuss before we delete. Even if there's a reason on the afd tag, it's still a good idea to have a discussion. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 13:17, 7 March 2007 (EST)
    • It was kind of annoying that the pages showed up in Wanted Pages, but I think if we do an external link, it should solve that, too.--Hardvice (talk) 14:30, 7 March 2007 (EST)
      • That might be a good thing that it shows up. A discussion would be wanted when a page is going to be deleted, even if it's an agreement that it should be deleted. (Admin 14:39, 7 March 2007 (EST))

Deletion

So... Are we going to delete this article, or not? :D AltesUTC CH
