Wiktionary:Cleanup and deletion elements

Definition from Wiktionary, a free dictionary

Jump to: navigation, search

This is a very simple catch-all list of all those various templates, categories and lists in use for indicating pages/articles needing cleanup or deletion work (some form of attention). See Cleanup and deletion process for details of how to use these elements.

This page is manually maintained. It may therefore fall out of date. Please update it if, but only if, you are sure of your information. Please check the discussion page first.

[edit] CURRENT CLASSIFICATIONS, LISTS etc

The templates and categories which exist only for interproject coordination are struck out in the following table. They are still in use and are in place mainly for compatability with other Wikimedia sister projects.

[edit] EARLIER, SUPERSEDED CLASSIFICATIONS, LISTS etc

The usage of these categories, templates and lists is slightly discouraged. Most exist either for historic reasons or for compatability with sister Wikimedia projects; more specific templates from the previous table are preferred.

Shortcut
(if any )
Entry with very little information, could/should be built to be an entry.
Use specific stub tag(s) from table above whenever possible.
Note that this will never go away. The MediaWiki: software itself assumes this mechanism exists. Without fundamental software changes to all Wiki sites (including Wikipedia) this can't ever actually be safely removed.		 Stub {{stub}}    
A portion of the article was left (presumably to be returned to later) or for foreign language entries (perhaps the person wasn't confident enough in English to take a stab at a definition.)
Use specific stub tag(s) from table above.		 Section stub {{substub}}
