Tagging things

If a page is tagged for speedy deletion, you don't need to tag the talk page. Admins usually remember to delete the associated talk page afterwards. If they forget to do so, then you should tag the talk page, but it saves time by just tagging the pages themselves. Mr. Anontalk 14:28, 18 August 2012 (EDT)

It's not even a case of remembering, when you're deleting a page, there's a tickable box on the page (this is ticked by default on the wikis I administrate) that lets you delete the talk page at the same time. That's why the delete summaries are always the same. Toast ltimatum 14:54, 18 August 2012 (EDT)

There is no such function here. Omega Tyrant 15:02, 18 August 2012 (EDT)

Having tested on said wikis, I appear to be mistaken. Unless Lylat Wiki does (Can't exactly check that right now). Either way, that function should exist, makes me wonder if that's installable. Toast ltimatum 15:09, 18 August 2012 (EDT)

I tagged the talk pages to prevent them from appearing in Special:WantedPages. Mousehunter321 (talk · contributions) 20:15, 18 August 2012 (EDT)

That makes no sense. How can an existing talk page be on WantedPages? Toomai Glittershine The Keymaster 20:21, 18 August 2012 (EDT)

Correction: I edited the talk pages because they redirected to deleted pages, and since they needed to be deleted anyway, I tagged them for deletion instead of simply blanking them or breaking the links. Mousehunter321 (talk · contributions) 20:24, 18 August 2012 (EDT)

My point was that, unless the admin who deleted the article forgot to delete the talk page, there's no need to tag the talk page. This will save you time. Mr. Anontalk 00:47, 19 August 2012 (EDT)
