Template talk:Delete

Updating grammar for Catalan language

{{Edit request}}

I am a native Catalan speaker, and I've spotted some minor grammar errors on the template translation that I would like to fix. It's moon (talk) 20:24, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

(not a template editor) @It's moon: the Catalan translation can be freely edited by anyone at {{Delete/ca}}. Thanks, Queen of Hearts (talk) 22:40, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

Empty "delete", display nothing?

Couldn't we just display nothing when {{Delete}} is added without a reason?

@Enhancing999:  Oppose, that would frustrate the educational aspect of the use of the empty template. See special:diff/955316481, for example.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 09:53, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
I think that diff illustrates that there is no educational aspect.

@Enhancing999: The user's resistance to education is immaterial, please look what the template displays.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 14:08, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
A valid counterexample would be where it actually worked. I only recall cases where you reported users doing it wrong, possibly because you are bothered by what the template currently displays.

Reason

{{Edit request}} The template currenly only accepts the reason parameter name with all lower case. Can we please have it accept that name with mixed case like "Reason"?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 20:17, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

Why? It’s completely normal for parameter names to be case sensitive, as far as I know… (also, if we want to accept both, we have to figure out what it should do if both are specified at once, etc.) Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 11:33, 23 April 2026 (UTC)

✓ Done I don't see this as a big issue and it could reduce the number of malformed deletion requests. Lucas Werkmeister to answer your question, reason, 1 and Reason will take priority in that order. —Matrix(!) ping onewhen replying {user - talk? - uselesscontributions} 14:05, 11 July 2026 (UTC)

Autofilling timestamp

Category:Commons protected edit requests (template protected)#20260712074617

Can we have the template autofill the timestamp parts (year, month, and day) if they are not specified, like the doc prompts? That would reduce mistaken population of Category:Deletion requests - No timestamp given. I could probably do it in a few tries, but, you know, job queue and I want to make sure I'm on the right track.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 22:27, 11 July 2026 (UTC)
