[edit] Keep the Consistency (Change the layout)
Dear Administrators,
Why don't you change the layout in order to keep the consistency with Speedy Request {{Speedydelete}} and Copyvio {{Copyvio}}?
Please refer to {{Bad name/ja}}
Followings are very smal things, though...
- Deletion Guidelines : ALL languages don't have to be shown. User can click "Language Changer Bar" at the bottom.
- Be more clearly: UPPER Messages are for READERs, Middle are for Maintenance Staff, and LOWER Messages are for ADMINs without mixing up.
- Explain the usage simply: The explanation should be OUTSIDE of the main box. The main Message Box is automatically shown on all tagged pages; Whom is it for? Without making READERs confused, Admins or People helping maintenance can come to check the Usage details here.
What do you think? --SantaClaus 09:02, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Summary
Please can I propose adding a section similar to template:duplicate which gives a summary which can easily be pasted when deleting. This would eliminate a very tedious task. Lcarsdata 09:59, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Badname -> Bad name
Although the templates is "bad name", the text and the translations still mention the old name "badname". Should be fixed, for consistency sake. — Xavier, 23:39, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

- You know, template redirects work fine...I don't think it's necessary to change the name everywhere, but eh. It's not that important either way. --pfctdayelise (说什么?) 06:02, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- If you look carefully, I did not change it everywhere. I changed the name mostly in the documentation, not in the Image: namespace or in talk pages, where the redirect engine works fine, indeed. After all, if you, at Commons, felt the need to rename the template, why not document it and encourage users to use the new name ? Just a matter of consistency. — Xavier, 10:59, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] {{editprotected}}
The line at the bottom should be changed to:
(Administrators: Delete this image)
for clarity. 68.39.174.238 17:37, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] {{editprotected}} for template modification
Hi everyone! I modified the template to hide the image param value when isn't available. I hope this helps. Check it at: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Enc_Company_Agent/sandbox

[edit] Tweaks to the template
Is this the only template that is available for tagging items for speedy deletion? If so, I suggest that the wording of the template is tweaked so that it doesn't just refer to "files" but also to pages and categories. If no one has any objections to this, I'll go ahead and do so. — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 15:25, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
I've just realized that "{{speedydelete}}" exists for that purpose. I've created a documentation page for this template which mentions "{{copyvio}}" and "{{speedydelete}}". Have I missed out any? Ideally, there should be a single documentation page explaining all the different speedy deletion tags so that at a glance editors can decide which is the best one to use. — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 15:51, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
- Regarding speedy deletion, see Commons:Deletion#Speedy_deletion. At Template_talk:Category_redirect, I have suggested creating a separate template for badly named categories (e.g. {{bad cat name}}). Superm401 - Talk 20:04, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] CommonsDelinker commands
Are the CommonsDelinker commands suggested by this template correct? See for example Image:103-0388 IMG.jpg, if I add {{universal replace|103-0388 IMG.jpg|Image:Colosseum kino.jpg|reason=(incorrectly named) duplicate}} to User:CommonsDelinker/commands I get the following:
| CommonsDelinker: Replace File:103-0388 IMG.jpg with File:Image:Colosseum kino.jpg across all Wikimedia projects. Reason: (incorrectly named) duplicate |
Isn't “Image:Image:Colosseum kino.jpg” incorrect? --Kjetil_r 15:05, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
- This bothers me too. Can someone knowledgeable rectify this or add an explanation to the template doc page? Thanks. --Eleassar (t/p) 15:24, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

- The documentation needs to be fixed as well. It is still telling editors to type {{bad name|Image:Someimage.ext}}. — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 18:32, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

As far as I understood, the problem was not with this template (bad name) but with the universal replace one. It only accepts images without the "image" prefix, since it adds it automatically. This was dealt with, here on template:bad name, by providing an ifexist check. I don't understand why it was removed ([1]) since it used to give the correct syntax either with the "image:" prefix or not, and now if I write {{bad name|image:something}} it will give me the incorrect syntax (hence the need of bot-made changes to all usages this way). I think the removal of that ifexist (as shown in the diff I provide above) should be undone, and a similar one should even be added to {{universal replace}} to prevent humans or bots to use it with the wrong syntax, by supporting both of them. --Waldir talk 19:46, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
