Template talk:Spam-warn

message: Am looking to clean up some of these CSD nomination templates. It looks like Template:Spam-notice is redundant, and covered much better by this template. Anybody bothered if I merge. If no response after weekend will merge, and redirect Spam-notice here. Cheers Lethaniol 20:27, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

If you can think of a more suitable title (at the moment just the article name) then please add. Cheers Lethaniol 09:59, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  edit request 

message: Please remove the image and text which instructs users to "click here".  Authoritative hypertext style and accessibility guides recommend against "click here" links for some very sensible reasons.  See for example "Don't use "click here" as link text", the HTML Techniques for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, and the Style Guide for Online Hypertext, all from W3C and/or Tim Berners-Lee:
:Good link text should not be overly general; don't use "click here." Not only is this phrase device-dependent (it implies a pointing device) it says nothing about what is to be found if the link if followed. Instead of "click here", link text should indicate the nature of the link target, as in "more information about sea lions" or "text-only version of this page".
:When calling the user to action, use brief but meaningful link text that:
:* provides some information when read out of context
:* explains what the link offers
:* doesn't talk about mechanics
:* is not a verb phrase
Furthermore, the "click here" image is not accessible; users of screen readers, other text-to-speech systems, and text-only browsers will see (or hear) the sentence containing the image as the rather unintelligible "If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant  advertising, Speedy delete contest button.png."
There is no reason why the instructions for contesting a speedy deletion should not be provided as text in a manner which makes doesn't make assumptions about navigation mechanics but makes it clear what the link points to.  For example:
:If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may use a preformatted place on the talk page to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted.
Similarly, the text "the article's talk page" should be made a hyperlink to the article's talk page. —Psychonaut (talk) 17:12, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Edit request on 12 April 2012 

message: Can an admin remove all instances of "article" in the template and replace with "page". G11 does not only cover articles, and this wording could be confusing to new users who recieve it. The criterion uses page, so I don't see why this template shouldn't. Also the "If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising" wording seems a little off, it's not the subject that's blatant advertising, it's the content of the page.
