Wikipedia talk:G5 is not a firm rule
Appearance
Note
[edit]You might note that CSD G5 doesn't apply to full categoriee or transcluded templates. These often get tagged for CSD G5 speedy deletion but they are generally left alone, unless the categories are empty and are serving no useful purpose. But even many page patrollers aren't aware of these G5 exceptions (WP:G5). Liz Read! Talk! 05:19, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
It is not exclusively necessary to ask the deleting admin to restore deleted content (particularly given that administrators sometimes retire or disappear). Any administrator can restore G5-deleted content, and a request for such restoration can be made through Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion. BD2412 T 20:53, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
