This template can be used as a CSD template for requesting deletion for redirects left over from a page move by a page mover. These deletions must be uncontroversial in order to qualify under the G6 criterion.
Usage
[edit]Place {{db-moved}} at the top of the page to be deleted.
This template places the page in Category:Candidates for technical speedy deletion.
If the page to be deleted is a redirect, {{db-moved}} can be placed either above or below #REDIRECT. If placed above, it will effectively break the automatic redirection. If placed below, it will remain a redirect. The link to the target page will still be visible below and can be followed as a soft redirection. The appearance of the soft redirection can be further improved by replacing #REDIRECT [[linked page]] with {{Soft redirect|linked page}}.
