This page lists the items that need to or should be updated when creating a newspeedy deletion criterion; many will also need changing if updating an existing criterion. These changes should only be made after consensus has been achieved atWT:CSD or some other similarly trafficked page.

• UpdateWikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion (duh) and create a shortcut (e.g.,WP:G2).
• UpdateModule:Csdcheck with the new criterion (Note:template-editor protected).
• Create (or move) the appropriate template. Templates are named by letter and number (e.g.,Template:Db-g2) with shortcuts redirecting there (e.g.,{{db-test}} redirects to{{db-g2}}).
• If appropriate, create (or move) the category (Category:Candidates for speedy deletion as...). Ensure it is applied by the above template and contains the default headers.
• If appropriate, create (or move) the notification template using the shortcut name (e.g.,{{db-test-notice}}). Add the notice toTemplate:Db-notice-multiple. Do the same for the post-deletion notification andTemplate:Db-deleted-multiple.
• UpdateMediaWiki:Deletereason-dropdown (Note:fully-protected).
• If appropriate, create (or move) the hangon preload template (e.g.,Template:Hangon preload G12) and add it toTemplate:Db-meta.
• Update{{Sdd4}}

• Leave a note for the next issue of the Signpost atWikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/Newsroom.

• Add (or update) the criterion in the quick reference listing atCategory:Candidates for speedy deletion.
• If appropriate, add (or update) the category inTemplate:CSD/Subcategories andTemplate:CSD-categories.

• UpdateTemplate:Speedy deletion templates,Template:Speedy deletion notices,Template:Speedy deletion deleted, andTemplate:Speedy deletion navbox.
• UpdateWikipedia:Template index/Speedy deletion andWikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion/Deletion templates.

• UpdateTemplate:Csdcheck/doc.

• Leave a note atWikipedia talk:Twinkle or theGitHub repo.
• For Twinkle to properly support it, the following templates need to be...
