This page documents official Policy on Grand Theft Wiki. It concerns standards that all users should follow. When editing this page, please ensure that your revision reflects consensus. When in doubt, discuss first on the talk page. |
On Grand Theft Wiki, articles are deleted through two systems:
The first is for articles with absolutely no value whatsoever, created only for vandalism, such as those about abusive topics. Entirely abusive articles (that are NOT edited versions of good articles) should be tagged with {{delete}} by Editors, so that Staff can easily find them and delete them. Tagging articles in that way assigns the article to Category:Candidates for speedy deletion so that they may easily be found.
The second system is for articles with little to no value. If an article is off-topic (eg Robbie Williams), too specific (eg Bus Stops in Vice City) or simply advertising a product/service/company (eg Sabrehost), then it should be tagged with {{prod}} which is proposed deletion. The deletion of PRODded pages should be discussed before action is taken, unless Staff find it to violate specific policy (at which point it can just be deleted). Pages with the prod template show up in Category:prod.
Deletion and Cleanup Templates
| Template | Description | Category |
|---|---|---|
| {{prod}} | Proposed Deletion - a page is probably useless, and administrators should consider deleting it. Members have a chance to respond to this on the Talk page. | Category:Prod |
| {{delete}} | Speedy Deletion - A page is useless, and should be deleted. There won't be any disputes over this, and an administrator can just delete it if they agree. | Category:Candidates for speedy deletion |
| {{vandal}} | Vandalism - This page (or section) has been subject to vandalism or spam, and needs to be fixed immediately. For entire pages of vandalism, use {{delete}} instead. | Category:Vandal |
| {{cleanup}} | Cleanup - This page (or section) does not conform to Policy, and needs to be cleaned up by an experienced user | Category:Cleanup |
| {{stub}} | Stub - This page is almost empty of information, but is a useful enough topic to need to be built up. Please place {{stub}} at the bottom of an article. If the page is totally empty or has no explanation of its relevance, use {{prod}} instead. | Category:Stubs |
