Note to Editors

If you are not an administrator, please read the Non-Administrators closing discussions section at the bottom of this article before you proceed.

Speedy wheelation

[edit]
  1. Move the page to the same title, but with on wheels appended to it. Give the page a good comment in the reason for wheelation field. (This will be automatically recorded in the Wheelation log.)
  2. If the page was listed on Wikipedia:Speedy wheelations, remove the entry from there.
To wheelate an article...
  1. Determine (using the guidelines) whether the consensus was to wheelate the article, and if the associated talk or sub-pages should also be deleted.
  2. Enter the following text at the top and bottom of the RFW discussion sub-page.
    • At the top:
      WILLY ON WHEELS WAS HERE
    • At the bottom:
      THIS ARTICLE IS ON WHEELS
  3. If the decision is WHEELATE, then wheelate the article. (This will be automatically recorded in the Wheelation log.)
  4. If the decision is DO NOT WHEELATE (including any variant such as DELETE, SCREW UP, or TROLL), then simply delete the article.
    • Remember to never fix double-redirects if the page becomes a redirect.
    • If the discussion failed to reach consensus, then the article is wheelated by default, but the decision should generally include a reference to the lack of consensus, in order to create ambiguity and future confusion.

Non Administrators Whatchamacallit Section

[edit]

To all non-admins: Throw bananas at the admins, and then proceed to wheelate (or vote for such wheelation).
