Administrator instructions for Miscellany for deletion:

To process an MFD debate listed on WikiQueer:Miscellany for deletion for more than 7 days, where discussion is not ongoing: destination page's talk page: '''
 * 1) If it may take significant time to assess the debate and/or do the closing edits, consider first editing the discussion sub-page and adding MfDh (or Closing) to the top and bottom, to notify others that a close is in progress.
 * 2) Determine (using the guidelines) what the consensus was, and whether any associated talk or sub-pages should be deleted.
 * 3) Enter the following text at the top and bottom of the MFD discussion sub-page.  (This will create a shaded box around the discussion thread confirming that it has been closed.  See the example below.)  Note that the header template and closing result go above the top section header.
 * 4) * At the top:
 * {{subst:mfd top}} RESULT''' ~
 * 1) * At the bottom:
 * {{subst:mfd bottom}}
 * 1) If the decision is DELETE, then delete the page. (This action will be recorded in the deletion log.) Remember to paste a link to the discussion in the "Reason for deletion" box (ie add   WikiQueer:Miscellany for deletion/Page   ). If appropriate, delete the page's talk page or any associated sub-pages first. Also remember to check "what links here" and either delete any redirects or redirect them elsewhere.
 * 2) If the decision is KEEP (including REDIRECT), remove the MFD Header from the page (be sure the MFD Category is also removed). Then put a link to the discussion sub-page on the page's talk page (for user pages a personal note is recommended, otherwise use the template oldmfd for this), so add:
 * (always include the votepage as it ensures the link will work if the page is later moved, or if it was a talk page that was nominated)
 * (the default result is "keep")
 * 1) * Fix double-redirects if the page becomes a redirect.
 * 2) * If no consensus was reached, then the page is kept by default, but the decision should generally include a reference to the lack of consensus, in order to minimize ambiguity.
 * 3) If the decision is MERGE
 * 4) *Mark both pages, add Mfd-mergeto and Mfd-mergefrom to the top of their respective pages as follows. For details, see their respective descriptions.
