This is a documentation subpage for Template:Afd-welcome (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

This template exists to welcome newcomers to the deletion process. It is intended for editors making their first forays into WP:AFD or related process pages, and is designed to briefly welcome and inform them about deletion-related policy and guidelines. Because deletion debates are often contentious, it is advised that if you participate in a deletion debate, you not afd-welcome any of the other participants in the same debate, as it may seem condescending and imply that your opinions are better than theirs.
