1. Usage
The Article to delete template is used to request the deletion of a page. It should be added as the very first line on the page that you believe should be deleted from the wiki.
It puts a message box with a "pink garbage can" icon in the page, and adds this page to the Candidates for deletion category.
Wiki maintainers periodically have a look at this category, and delete the pages that belong to it.

- Where Template:Highlight3 and Template:Highlight3 are optional parameters:
- Template:Highlight3 is the reason supplied for the deletion
- Template:Highlight3 is the signature of the requester. It is recommended to use
