{{Speedy deletion templates}}<br />
{{redirect|Template:Empty|empty sections|Template:Empty section}}<br />
<br />
This template is used to tag pages for speedy deletion under the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion criteria]]. There is a separate template for each criterion &ndash; see the table to the right. This template is namespace-specific: in categories, it calls {{tl|db-c1}}, and everywhere else it calls {{tl|db-a3}}. <br />
<br />
If this template is used on a category, it places the page into [[:Category:Empty categories awaiting deletion]] and [[:Category:Candidates for speedy deletion|Candidates for speedy deletion]] four days after it is tagged. If it is used anywhere else, it places the page in the category [[:Category:Candidates for speedy deletion as empty articles|Candidates for speedy deletion as empty articles]] and [[:Category:Candidates for speedy deletion|Candidates for speedy deletion]] immediately. <br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
The template should be placed at the top of the page to be deleted.<br />
<br />
===Parameters===<br />
<br />
<kbd><nowiki>{{</nowiki>db-empty<nowiki>}}</nowiki></kbd><br />
<br />
:This is the most basic form of the template.<br />
<br />
<kbd><nowiki>{{</nowiki>db-empty<nowiki>|bot=ExampleBot</nowiki><nowiki>}}</nowiki></kbd><br />
<br />
:[[WP:BOT|Bot accounts]] will specify the <code><nowiki>|bot=</nowiki></code> parameter to notify the reviewing admin that the page was tagged by an automated process.<br />
<br />
== Author notification ==<br />
<br />
If you nominate a category for deletion with this template, please consider placing the following code:<br />
<br />
{{tlsp|db-catempty-notice|2=''CategoryName''<nowiki>|</nowiki>header=1}}<br />
<br />
...on the User talk page of the main contributor(s) to the page, replacing ''CategoryName'' with the name of the category being marked for deletion. This will display the following [[Wikipedia:User warning templates|user warning template]]:<br />
<br />
<div style="background:white; border:thin forestgreen;">{{db-catempty-notice|demo=yes}}</div><br />
<br />
If you nominate any other type of page for deletion using this template, please consider placing the following code:<br />
<br />
{{tlsp|nocontent-warn|2=''PageName''<nowiki>|</nowiki>header=1}}<br />
<br />
...on the User talk page of the main contributor(s) to the page, replacing ''PageName'' with the name of the page being marked for deletion. This will display the following [[Wikipedia:User warning templates|user warning template]]:<br />
<br />
<div style="background:white; border:thin forestgreen;">{{nocontent-warn|demo=yes}}</div><br />
