[edit] Use

If a deleted article has had its history page temporarily restored by an administrator to facilitate a discussion on Wikipedia:Deletion review, {{TempUndelete}} may be placed on that article page.

Articles which have obtained a "keep" (or "no consensus defaulting to keep") decision on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, but have had that decision appealed on Wikipedia:Deletion review, may be affixed with the template {{Delrev}}. —Encephalon 12:20, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Feb 2009

I removed "If there seems likely to be a strong consensus to undelete and you wish to improve this article meanwhile, please be bold and do so." as the practice is that articles are protected while this template is in use. - brenneman 13:27, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] A suggestion to improve the template

Navigating an article history is a fairly complex task, especially for somebody who's pretty new to Wikipedia (not uncommon in the case of deletion discussions).

I think this template would be more useful -- an present less of a bureaucratic hurdle -- if it contained a direct link to a revision prior to deletion.

Any objections to adding a parameter that would take a URL, and adding a sentence like the following to the end of the text: "You may wish to view a version of the article from prior to its deletion."
