Template:Flag-editor/doc

When to use
This template was originally intended to alert another editor that you are considering the deletion of an article by leaving a message on their User Talk page; this is the 2nd Step of the Protocol to minimize friction from proposed and speedy deletions.

As it turns out, editors may also use this template to flag the questionable editor's creative activities for closer scrutiny during future sessions.

Usage
Depending on how you do it, you may or may not want the template to generate a section header automagically.

Note that no default signature is provided, so you should either append "~" or your own custom signature. Also, this template must be substituted. - Default: (ArticleName).


 * No section header is generated. (ArticleName) is the only required argument. Omitting (Guideline) will result in a generic but rather verbose message with a comprehensive list of notability guidelines, so one should always be specified.


 * The recognized values for (Guideline) are:
 * Academics
 * Biographies or People
 * Companies or Groups
 * Fiction
 * Movies
 * Music
 * Web

- Linked Header: (ArticleName).



- Custom Header: (ArticleName).



Note: You must provide (ArticleName), or else it will not display correctly.

Optional parameter
If you are not feeling particularly helpful, then you may add  to omit the following offer:"… and remember, there was a time when I knew less about how WikiQueer works than you know right now … and I am always available to help you become a more proactive contributor."

otherwise the green text will be displayed by default, e.g.,""

Removal of speedy deletion tag
Note that this template also includes the following  template in a comment at the end … this is in case the author removes the   and you (or Some Other Editor) need to give them a warning … just remove the  and you have a generic warning in front of your previous signature.

< !- - ===Removal of speedy deletion tag=== … DO NOT remove the Db tag yourself! I have restored it … please read WikiQueer:Three-revert rule and don't do it again, or you may get blocked from editing here. -->
