This page hosts local (i.e., Meta-Wiki) requests for page deletion. For requests for speedy deletion from global sysops or stewards, see Steward requests/Miscellaneous. Any language may be used on this page. Before commenting on this page, please read the deletion policy, in particular the criteria for speedy deletion, and the inclusion policy. Please place the template {{RFD}} on the page you are proposing for deletion, and then add an entry in an appropriate section below. You may use {{subst:RFD2|page name|reasons here. --~~~~}} under the appropriate section to start the deletion discussion. As a courtesy, you may wish to inform the principal authors of the page about the request using {{subst:RfD notice|page name --~~~~.}}. After at least one week, an administrator will close and carry out the consensus or majority decision.

Articles that qualify for speedy deletion should be tagged with {{delete}} or {{delete|reason}}, and should not be listed here. (See also speedy deletion candidates.) Files with no sources should be tagged with {{no source}} and need not be listed here, either. To request undeletion, see #Requests for undeletion. See Meta:Inclusion policy for a general list of what does not belong on the Meta-Wiki.

Previous requests are archived. Deletion requests ({{Deletion requests}}) can be added to talk page to remember previous RfDs.

Wikimedia Meta-Wiki
SpBot archives all sections tagged with {{Section resolved|1=~~~~}} after 1 day.

I don't think a redirect to a translation is necessary; Special:MyLanguage/Interface editors already redirects to Global interface editors/language. WM:CSD#M2 might apply, but I'm not sure. Additionally, should redirects of this form be allowed in general? NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 01:41, 16 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and speedily deleted it under criterion M2. Codename Noreste (discusscontribs) 02:03, 16 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Milicevic01 has recreated it. Keep If Milicevic01 wants this to exist then why should we interfere? * Pppery * it has begun 21:19, 16 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
An unregistered user created that redirect without explaining why in the edit summary, but I think Milicevic01 might have a good point here. Pinging NDKDD to be aware. Codename Noreste (discusscontribs) 04:27, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm already aware of Milicevic01's comment (I watch this page). Thanks nonetheless. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 04:29, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Comment I made redirect because some page redirected me to it. Cant remember what (at the momment). If it helps i was translating on MediaWiki.org and a litle bit here on Meta --Milicevic01 (talk) 23:05, 16 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

File:WikiMedia-Servers-IP.dia

edit

Hello, User:Hide on Rosé notified me on my talk page that the file File:WikiMedia-Servers-IP.dia has been nominated for deletion and has since been deleted. The file is the source code for File:WikiMedia-Servers-IP.png, it shows a proposal I have made in the early day of Wikipedia using en:Dia_(software). I believe we should keep the source used to generate the image.

Thanks! 8-)

@Hashar: This is present as the same file at File:WikiMedia-Servers-IP.png. EggRoll97 (talk) 03:14, 11 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Hashar any reason this needs to be local? (As opposed to you publishing it to commons under a compatible license)? — xaosflux Talk 12:46, 25 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
.dia files can no longer be uploaded anywhere, so this literally can't be moved to Commons without sysadmin intervention. Weak oppose undeleting per my general principle of objecting to grandfather clauses and restoring a state that would now be verboten. * Pppery * it has begun 21:20, 16 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
