Template:Incu-notify/doc

Use this template to inform a user that their article has been transferred into the article incubator. It is typically used to notify user's who've either had their article nominated for deletion or had their article deleted, but didn't receive a templated warning about the deletion discussion. Admins may also use the template when they've chosen to incubate an article rather than speedy delete it.

For people who were previously warned, see Template:Incu-notify-del.

Usage

"Hello Example,

Thank you for your contributions to WikiQueer. Your efforts here are appreciated, but unfortunately it appears an article you created - Cat - wasn't quite up to our standards. However, it was felt the article has potential and it has been moved into the article incubator. The incubator is a place where articles that have been found not to meet WikiQueer's content criteria but which have potential can be accessed by all users in order to collaboratively develop the article to make it match the content criteria. To continue working on your article, please visit WikiQueer:Article Incubator/Cat.

If you have any questions or need help, feel free to ask and I will be glad to help. Example2 (talk) 15:23, 18 September 2009 (UTC)"
