View source for Template:Proposed deletion/doc

'''{{tlx|{{PAGENAME}}}}''', also known as '''{{tlx|delete}}''', is a template that allows you flag an article for deletion.  Aside from producing an easy-to-read "tophat" on an article that passers-by can see, it puts the page into [[:category:proposed deletions]] that [[admin]] patrol.   

==Usage ==
To use, place the following at the top of the offending page: <pre>{{proposed deletion|reason for deletion}}

or the shorter

{{delete|reason for deletion}}</pre>Replace "reason for deletion" with your reason you are proposing the page be deleted. If you fail to give a reason, the template will automatically give you a warning that you have forgotten to do so. Place the tag at the top of the page. Additionally please '''do not''' delete all the content from the page. 
== Relevant policy ==
Use of this template is largely regulated by our [[Tardis:deletion policy|deletion policy]].
