Consumer Rights Wiki:Moderator guidelines: Difference between revisions

# to warn the reader of a potentially low-quality article, and  

# to bring such articles to the attention of admins and other editors, who may improve or remove the article.  

*[[Template:StubNotice|StubNotice]] <br/>Use for an article which is simply underdeveloped: the content currently within it does not justify its existence, but there is nothing wrong in concept with such an article existing in the wiki.

*[[Template:Incomplete|Incomplete]] <br/>Use for an article that has the potential to be high-quality, but is dangerously under-cited, or the citations are to dubious sources. This should only lead to deletion if it's in violation of the No Original Reaearch policy, or if no good sources exist with which to fix it.

*[[Template:ToneWarning|ToneWarning]]<br/>Use for an article where the tone is significantly non-compliant, and needs major improvement

*[[Template:Irrelevant|Irrelevant]] <br/>Use for an article that is on the edge of not being relevant, and an editor feels falls foul of the inclusion criteria above. Basically a limbo to put articles in where their merits can be discussed before a descision is made on their deletion.

*[[Template:Garbage|Garbage]]<br/>Use for an article which is clearly irrelevant, spam, or not likely to be improved.

*[[Template:SloppyAI|SloppyAI]]<br/>Use for an article where AI is heavily used without enough care and/or supervision to guarantee the credibility or readability or the article.

====F. User provided insights:====

Users can use the request templates <code>DeletionRequest</code> ([[Template:DeletionRequest| deletion request template page]]) and <code>MergeRequest</code> [[Template:MergeRequest| merge request template page]]) to indicate pages that may need attention. Look through the [[:Category:Articles with merge requests|Articles with merge requests]] and [[:Category:Articles with deletion requests|Articles with deletion requests]] categories ( both in the [[:Category:Todo| todo]] category) in order to look though these requests.

If a deletion request is determined to be valid the linked pages need to be handled and after that the page should be marked with the <code><nowiki>{{Garbage}}</nowiki></code> temlpate and protected from edits pending final deletion.  

In cases of merge requests once things might not pe as simple. After moving content to the page that is to be retained the page [[Special:MergeHistory]] should be used in order to maintain the edit history and contributors. This might become complicated if multiple pages are to be merged so going through them 2 at the time should probably be the way this is handles even if it results in some inefficiencies. After merging articles the redundant pages should be marked with the <code><nowiki>{{Garbage}}</nowiki></code> and protected from edits pending deletion.
