message: I have given the template a look that is similar to the other templates that remind people that image may have to be deleted. I hope that's fine, if not then revert.

message: Would it be possible to change the link to IFD so that it goes directly to the image's entry? The  template which is recommended for listing images on IFD makes an anchor with the name of the image. It might be possible to change the line in this template that says:
:Please share your thoughts on the matter at its entry on the Images and media for deletion page.
Could that link be changed to something like the following?
:Images and media for deletion
If the image was listed on IFD without using , then this fragment identifier wouldn't help any, but it wouldn't hurt anything either. In the majority of cases, though, this would take a person directly to the image's entry. —Bkell (talk) 07:16, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Maybe you don't see the point, but I came here to ask why there's no log link! Other deletion templates now display the text you need to make the listing and have a link to the log. This one feels like it's from the Stone Ages in comparison. Could somebody improve it please? IFS is always a nightmare because the templates are so crap and there's so many hoops to go through for what usually turns out to be uncontested deletion. --kingboyk (talk) 20:55, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Sorry, but where in the template is the date displayed?
