Template:File_proposed_for_deletion_on_Commons

Can you tell us what you were trying to do with that template, and now that it is blanked, it should be tagged {{db-g7}}? Thanks, !dave 13:12, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

Thank you !dave.

I am trying to develop a Bot which notifies Wikipedia articles when images associated with them are nominated for deletion in commons. For that purpose I tried to create a template to display the message in article's talk page --Harideepan (talk) 13:19, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

You blanked it however; does this indicate you are not going to use it any further, and thus, I can or you can place {{db-g7}} on it? !dave 13:23, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

I actually tried to reuse a template from fr Wikipedia but it has too many dependencies. So I decided not to use it.

I am new here so I don't know about {{tlx|db-g7}. Can you explain what is it?. --Harideepan (talk) 13:28, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

{{tlx}} is just something that allows a link to a template and for it to show in a code-like style. Template:db-g7 is a speedy deletion template, that alerts an admin that you as the page creator wish for it to be deleted. I see that you have already placed it. !dave 13:40, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

Thanks !dave --Harideepan (talk) 13:48, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

Help request on bots/APIs

I am developing a bot which notifies Wikipedia articles when images associated with them in Wikimedia Commons are

1.nominated for deletion

2.deleted

3.Nominated not to be deleted

How can I detect that an image is deleted from commons after nomination? Is there any APIs available for that?--Harideepan (talk) 11:17, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

This sounds like a potentially useful bot. Your request for assistance is quite technical, so I would advise you to discuss your proposal at Wikipedia:Bots/Noticeboard where I'm sure you will be more likly to get the advice you seek. I assume you have already read this important advice page: Wikipedia:Bots? Regards from the UK. Nick Moyes (talk) 12:54, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your response Harideepan (talk) 12:57, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

Help me!

I have a doubt. When an image in commons is decided not to be deleted after the deletion nomination has been closed, will that image removed from the Category:Deletion Requests or will it remain in that category?

Harideepan (talk) 04:58, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

Given that there are no sub-categories older than December 2017 and that a random selection of images in that sub-category that I checked were all still subject to deletion discussions, I don't think images whose deletion discussions end with keeping the image are still included in that category. There are categories such as Category:MobileUpload-related deletion requests/kept which obviously has discussions that end in "keep", but it seems that category indeed has discussions, not the images themselves.

WP:BOTACC

Hi,

all bots must have approvals, and bots should run on their dedicated accounts. Please use a bot to do the bot task. Also, there's a bot by Wikimedia Foundation that will do the same thing. Thanks. — regards, Revi 09:26, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

Indic script

- Please do not add any Indic script, to any of our India related articles, as you did at Tiruchirappalli, as this contravenes WP:NOINDICSCRIPT - Thank you - Arjayay (talk) 17:03, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
