Archiving

Unless objected to, I plan on removing the request to archive. It's a waste of time, which discourages use of deletion sorting. I plan to simply tell people to remove closed AFDs. Opinions? --Rob 09:35, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Instructions on how to use

These are hopeless for people not used to dealing with this stuff. Clear step-by-step instructions are needed explaining what gets added to which page. Johnbod 21:27, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

I have attempted a more thorough guide for those not familiar with the processes. Tyrenius 00:57, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, that's much better! Johnbod 02:38, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Tag Location

I'm thinking of removing the line "Place this tag above the nom statement, as it is a formal notice and not part of the debate." 2 reasons: I surveyed some of the deletion sorting subpages and I didn't see one that was complying with it, and I think it can be useful to see where in the process the AfD was brought to the sorting list. Anybody have an objection? --Butseriouslyfolks 05:38, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Not at all. Although not part of the debate, that one line certainly doesn't disrupt the flow of the discussion. Also, as you noted, few adhere to it. -- Black Falcon ^(Talk) 17:50, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm here as I was wondering about the placement as I have seen:

• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The World At Night (TWAN) - Delsort added to the header mid-way through the discussion.
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rimo Haq - Delsort added to the end of the discussion thread and it then became embedded as part of the thread.
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lila Rajiva (3rd nomination) - Delsort added to the end of the discussion thread and ever since people have been inserting new discussion items above this so that the delsort acts like a footer. Apparently people are recognizing the delsort is not part of the discussion thread.

I've added the following to the delsort bullet. "You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread."

There's no "change" to the instructions rather it's letting editors wondering about which is correct know that placement is left to the editor's discretion and/or preference. --Marc Kupper|talk 21:57, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Edit summary

Can we add a line suggesting that the linked article title be used as the edit summary when adding? Just got my wrist slapped because I didn't do it. Hornplease 09:44, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
