Template:D8

This template is used to mark an unused file for deletion per Rule #8 of the wiki. Any page using this template is added to Category:Pending deletion.

When marking files for deletion, the content should not be blanked (simply put the delete template above all the content). The only exceptions to this are if the file is uploaded for harassment, is a copyright violation, contains personal/sensitive information, or something along those lines, though it would be preferable to use {{speedy delete}} instead of this template in such cases after blanking.

{{delete|1|2|priority=Optional prioritizer}}

• The |1= parameter changes the default reason from "Unused file"
• The |2= parameter changes the section name where the "discuss" button will lead on the talk page.
