Template talk:Fdw-uo

Idw-uo stands for "Image deletion warning — unverified orphan".

Whenever an unverified orphan is listed on Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion, this template should be placed on the uploader's user talk page. It is used like this: if the name of the image is 123.gif, then {{idw-uo|Image:123.gif}} should be included. Remember to include the "Image:" before the image name.

If you think this template can be improved, you're probably right. Be bold. – Quadell ^{(talk) (sleuth)} 16:07, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)

I can't be bold as the template is protected. Please change the link to Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion to Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion/Unverified orphans, at least temporarily until there's a decision on where to list UOs. -- Paddu 06:04, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Variants

When the image is listed for reasons other than for being an unverified orphan, Template:idw should be used instead. When the image is listed on Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images, Template:idw-pui should be used. And when the image is listed on Wikipedia:Copyright problems, Template:idw-cp should be used.

Blanking?

I'm going to revert this, because it appears to have been blanked. Please discuss what's actually going on here. Thanks, Alphax ^τεχ 00:42, 5 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Using templates with its own header

Keep in mind when a template generates its own header, you should ALWAYS use the subst: prefix when using a template especially in user talk pages!! When a template generates its own header and a substitute is not used, the edit link next to the header will link to the actual template! One can see how this can be a problem. — oo64eva (Alex) ^{(U | T | C)} @ 19:13, May 8, 2005 (UTC)
