Template talk:Db-meta

message: A category I created was recently tagged for speedy deletion using . A message was left on my talk page, using Twinkle, that contained the following instructions:  I was unable to find a button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion" anywhere on the category page. 
Can someone who knows this set of templates and messages better than I do please take a look and either fix this mismatch or let me know what I am missing? – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:40, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

message: Apparently,  has a  parameter. It is only used in one place:  (nowiki added). It does not change the behavior of the template, and there is nothing in WP:C1 that permits deleting an empty category after fewer than seven days. The only possible use I can think of would be to delete an , but in that case an editor should use  (if it has not be automatically tagged). I think it should be removed. Thoughts?

thread_title:  Days parameter in db-c1 

message: I noticed that this template has a section with tools for administrators, which has the sysop-show class applied. However, it seems like this would be useful for non-administrators who are reviewing CSDs that should be taken to XfD instead. Perhaps it would be better to set this to display for logged in users? I understand that there's CSS code that editors can put to get around this, but not everyone knows about that. Sagflaps (talk) 01:15, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
