Template:Speedydelete

Hi LegoFan. May I restore my version of the Speedydelete template? I don't quite understand the advantage of the latest version. It seems to cover the exact same functionality as mine, except now, to add a custom message (a very common procedure with that template), one has to add "custom|" in. This is extra typing in use of what should be a speedy (badum-tish) template, and could also be confusing. It breaks a standard set by many other templates, including Delete, where you just need to add your message in, no "custom|" required. Apologies in advanced, however, if I am missing some of the justification for this revision.

If it's no trouble, please respond underneath, rather than on my talk page. As I am an anonymous contributor, my talk page is not an ideal/reliable place for discussion.

Thanks,

I dont think it matters how much typing we have to do as long as it works we are fine. So lets leave it the way it is. Thanks. LegoFan4000 ^talk 23:45, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

I'd have to say that I agree with the anon, personally. I haven't really had to use a speedy delete template for a few years so maybe my opinion isn't all that relevant, but his/her way sounds more efficient, consistent, and intuitive to me. Maybe you could help me see why the current way is worth keeping? Berrybrick (talk) 23:53, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Was typing a response just like that but got into an edit conflict. Anyways, thanks for saying what I wanted to say Berry. :P A point to add is that templates were made to make editing faster and easier, and this edit helps making using it faster and easier.
