== Usage Note ==

Add this template to any page on Meta for which you're requesting an [[Special:MyLanguage/Meta:Administrators|administrator]] to delete, either by adding it to the very top of the page (preferred) or by replacing the existing content with this template (also acceptable) following the format prescribed below.

<code>{&#123;Delete&vert;1=''Your deletion reason''&#125;}</code>

Replace ''your deletion reason'' with one of the commonly accepted reasons for deletion below, or describe concisely ''why'' you are requesting deletion.

If you do not specify a reason in parameter <code>1=</code>, ''no deletion reason'' will be inserted, and your request ''may'' be declined if it is not apparent why deletion is being requested.
