This is a template I am currently testing.
Documentation or speedydelete to follow in due course (and if I haven't done this within a week from now, please remind me — thanks!).
Daniel Mietchen 11:03, 19 March 2010 (UTC) This template is for requesting that a constable check stuff that may have no business on CZ, or not in the present form. For instance, obvious vandalism pages and articles that were created accidentally or as tests. For further details, see CZ:Constabulary.

Usage

The template is used by placing the code {{CallForConstables|REASON|~~~~}} at the top of the page to be checked.
The use of the ~~~~ puts your name on the template, so that the constable can see who is making the request.
Do NOT blank the page that you are requesting to be checked. The constable must evaluate your request and this causes him/her to take extra steps. Just put the template at the top of the page.

When using CallForConstables on a template page, you should use the code <noinclude>{{CallForConstables|REASON|~~~~}}</noinclude>, so that it is not also shown on any pages which use that template.

Check on speedy deletion requests at Category:Speedy Deletion Requests, or pages which have recently been deleted at Special:Log/delete.

Example

Put an example of the code inside the following tags, where the dots are :

{{CallForConstables|Previous versions of this page contained link spam. |~~~~}}

which gives

A Citizen has requested that a constable check this page or its history.
Previous versions of this page contained link spam.
