Use the template <nowiki>{{speedy|reason}}</nowiki> to speedy delete pages whose deletion would be uncontentious,i.e., leading to no Controversies (vandalism, test pages, etc.)
This should ''not'' be used on pages that are obvious candidates for speedy deletion (e.g. vandalism, test pages, etc.) and whose deletion would be uncontentious. Use <nowiki>{{speedy|reason}}</nowiki> for that.

Standard deletion template

Usage: {{delete|reason --~~~~}}

This page puts a 'Bold Red Warning' at the top of the page and adds the page to the Category:Candidates for deletion.

It should be added as the second line on pages that you believe should be deleted from the wiki, after redirect commands (which break if they are not the first line). This includes pages that no longer serve a useful purpose, pages whose content may be inappropriate (but which you are not sure about) and any other deletion.
