Nuking

Okay Semicolon, you've had your fun, but it's about time we got rid of the Tag for Nuking option on this template. The Nuke template itself serves no productive function on SmashWiki, as (Speedy) Delete tags are always the ones to be used on candidate pages. Having the option for nuking only disuades users from using the correct template, and also brings the template to a length which causes the list of actions to go onto a second line on some monitors/devices.

Improvements

I find this to be improvement, and it takes out the tag for nuking in the process. Support. Toast ltimatum 18:30, 18 October 2012 (EDT)

I guess it could do. Dots The Cute Asian 20:56, 18 October 2012 (EDT)

Support I agree with TU. Smash Master 16:34, 19 October 2012 (EDT)

Support. Nuking makes no sense. ShupaRoeh 18:10, 19 October 2012 (EDT)

Supporting will make things alot easier! (I never new what that thing at the bottom was!) The Cheese 16:20, 20 October 2012 (EDT)

Semi barely comes around here anyway, and he only used the Nuke template thrice. It's time to move on. I support this proposal. --- ReiDemon, Author Extraordinaire, 16:24, 20 October 2012 (EDT)

Support, on one condition. I'd prefer it if the font was Arial like it is now, instead of that ugly Courier font. Of course, very few others will care. :P Air Conditioner I am the air con. 16:34, 20 October 2012 (EDT)

Conditionally support. Nuking is an important tag that should be available for newcommers to the wiki to use. I see no reason why the stub and cleanup tags should be available but not nuking. Mr. Anontalk 16:37, 20 October 2012 (EDT)

I CACHINATED MY FACE OFF. Nuking is so redundant, it's unreal. It's basically speedy delete, except it doesn't put the nukeable articles in a category, and it doesn't have an icon on Recent Changes. Nuke's only purpose is to put a smile on Semicolon's face, and these hypothetical new users should learn how to type {{D}}. It is a joke system, and has no place in a serious template.

Nuking was its own template, not a replacement or substitute for speedy delete; the purpose was to mock stupid posts on talk pages. --- ReiDemon, Author Extraordinaire, 18:27, 20 October 2012 (EDT)
