Rewording notification about G13 deletions edit
I was redirected to this talk page from Template talk:Db-draft-deleted. Administrators use this template on User Talk pages when they are deleting a draft under CSD G13. The message is built into Twinkle such that if an administrator performs a G13 deletion with Twinkle, the template is automatically added to the User Talk page of the draft author. The template currently says:
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted.
A problem with this wording is that in many cases, the material that's been deleted has not been deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace. G13 is used all the time on drafts that have never been reviewed. If someone's work hasn't been reviewed, telling them it's been "deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace" is incorrect and makes people feel bad with no benefit. So I suggest changing this sentence to:
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted.
This would be more accurate. Cheers, Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 19:04, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
Template-protected edit request on 3 March 2024 edit

Make the change as described in this diff. It is a relatively light change for the purpose that "discussion page" is commonly refered to as "talk pages". Toadette (Let's discuss together!) 16:51, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

- I think I like the current wording better. It's clearer and more concise than the proposed change here. –Novem Linguae (talk) 12:57, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:56, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
- @MSGJ I'm not necessarily endorsing this change, but the diff provided by 71.208.39.196 should suffice for a "change X to Y". --Ahecht (TALK

- This is probably the diff. No edit summary though. Needs an explanation to understand what is going on, I think. –Novem Linguae (talk) 17:39, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
