Notes

This template is only for pages that are likely to be re-created in unencyclopedic form or against policy. Do not place it on every deleted page!
Do not substitute this template.
Only administrators should place this template as the page must be protected as well.

Usage
The page on which this template is placed is automatically categorised into Category:Protected deleted pages. See also Wikipedia:Protected deleted pages and User:DumbBOT/TimeSortedPD.

Add this to a page using {{deletedpage}}.
To categorise by month, type {{deletedpage|Month Year}}. For example, {{deletedpage|January 2007}}.
For stub templates and categories, type {{deletedpage|stub=yes}}. This makes the template link to SfD instead of CfD/TfD.
Use the votepage parameter to link to the specific AfD/MfD page. For example, type {{deletedpage|votepage=The Game (game) (6th nomination)}} on The Game (game) to link to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Game (game) (6th nomination), instead of the default link to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Game (game).
Protect the page and use a descriptive edit summary.

Self Reference
This template is a self-reference and so is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopaedic content.
