A tag has been placed on Template:Divstylesiaaa, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

You made it more difficult to close AfDs manually
I used to be able to close AfDs manually (without installing too much more extra scripting than I want to install) merely by subst'ing {{at}} and {{ab}}. Now I cannot do that and your close of Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2026 April 24 § Template:At provides no guidance on what to do instead.
WP:CLOSEAFD says nothing about how to close AfDs manually. Nor does WP:XFDCLOSE. It is only by groveling through the deleted code of the template that I can learn of the existence of {{AfD top}} and its longer shortcut {{afdt}}. Is there a good rationale for making me type four more characters every time (two for top two for bottom)?
Also ping @Primefac: who together with you are responsible for the deletion of this manual AfD-closing method, with a rationale that completely ignores its use for manually closing AfDs. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:03, 24 May 2026 (UTC)
- {{vt}} is a redirect to {{afd top}} you could use. If you really wanted I'm sure there's no prejudice against recreating {{at}} as a redirect. Primefac (talk) 19:37, 24 May 2026 (UTC)

- Thanks! I don't need (and didn't know about) the extra function that at provided, so redirect works for me. I note that the matching redirect at ab appears to be unaffected by all this. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:19, 24 May 2026 (UTC)
