Auto-add Date

I'm working on a script to automatically add the date the the article/image/template was flagged for deletion. Give me a few minutes and I'll have it ready.—Emma^{(T C H)} 20:29, June 22, 2008 (UTC)

Superuser, aren't we? —Seablue254 20:33, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

I noticed that the date changes to be in accordance with the latest edit. Is this how the template was meant to function? Zeldafan1982 20:01, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Nope, the intention was to make it show the date of the edit when the template was added. Guess that isn't really a thing yet in MediaWiki... We'll have to add it manually, then. Jeez, as if no one noticed that until now! — Hylian King ^[*] 00:06, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Well, this is a bit out of nowhere, but if you put ~~~~~, it converts it into code for the current time and date. So, I don't know if it will play nicely in a template, because I'm not sure of the parser and all that stuff, but at the least we can manually type ~~~~~ into the template instead of the date itself. --KokoroSenshi 04:31, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Ok, I think it can only be done with another template or manually inserting ~~~~~ is it? --KokoroSenshi 11:18, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Unless... the second template used is this template itself? Then maybe...--KokoroSenshi 11:21, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

What were the issues you guys were having with it and were they resolved? But there's really no need for the new category since the articles for deletion have a gallery. I think its a MediaWiki standard. That category itself is kept cleaner than even our wanted pages :p Axiomist (talk) 02:58, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Images for deletion/Files for deletion

Do we have a deletion template for non-image files like audio? Should we adjust this/description/etc. to apply to files in general? I do notice that apart from images there mainly only seems to be audio, which we have a lot unused too, though a time will probably come when we need to mark a non-image file for deletion. --KokoroSenshi (Talk | contribs) 03:29, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Default <second file name>

I sort of want to put the default second file name for jpg/jpeg files to the same name except with png, just to make things slightly easier when reuploading as pngs, e.g. for background removal. Like:

{{#ifeq:{{lc:{{#explode:{{PAGENAME}}|.|1}}}}|jpg
  |{{#explode:{{PAGENAME}}|.|0}}.png
  |{{#ifeq:{{lc:{{#explode:{{PAGENAME}}|.|1}}}}|jpeg
     |{{#explode:{{PAGENAME}}|.|0}}.png
     |
   }}
}}

which gives ___.png if jpg or jpeg, nothing if else? Or maybe it's not worth it.
