This page is for the request of speedy page deletions within the Scroll Wars wiki. Due to concerns about loss of data, the ability to delete pages is restricted to the Moderators. As such, regular users will need to request a deletion from the Moderators. For consistency and accountability, Moderators also adhere to the guidelines listed here.

In a restricted set of circumstances, Moderators may delete pages without full consultation of the wiki community. This is usually restricted to pages that do not seem to have any legitimate information or function within the wiki, or for pages that have been created by mistake and are requested to be deleted by the author. In these circumstances, a Speedy Deletion may take place, allowing Moderators to quickly remove these pages from the wiki.

Guidelines for Speedy Deletion Requests

All Deletion Requests must contain the following information in order to be considered:

• A link to the page in question. Preferably bolded for visibility.
• A reason for deletion. This should be short and to the point.
• A signed datestamp. This can be easily done by adding ~~~~ to the end of your request.

Further, you should place {{speedydelete}} at the top of the page you are nominating for speedy deletion.

Any deletion request that does not contain these three pieces of information will not be considered, and will be removed by a Moderator.

Once the speedy deletion request has been entered, the request shall remain on this page, where it will be reviewed by a member of the moderation team, and action taken accordingly. Once action has been taken, the request will be moved into the Archive, and the Moderator shall add a signed datestamp to archived request.

A Speedy Deletion may be circumvented by a single vote of Keep under the request. If this occurs, the Moderator shall move the Speedy Deletion request to the Deletion Request Queue, where the normal rules for Deletion of the page shall apply. Further, A user may choose to move a request from the Speedy Deletion queue to the Deletion Request Queue should they feel that the deletion may attract controversy within the wiki community, but do not wish to cast a Keep vote for the request. Should either of these circumstances occur, the deletion candidate should remain in the Deletion Request Queue until the alloted two weeks is up.
