I don't know where that went.
I don't think it's ever been there, in the software process of deleting
a page. (At least, on the current software; I have no idea what the
delete function in Perl-land was like.)
There _is_ a place to put an explanation for banning IPs, and there
_should be_ one for deleting pages and deleting uploaded files.
In the human process of deleting a page, there are now two places where
you can place your reasons for deleting something, but you have to
explicitly do this yourself...
Is there any
place to record reasons for page deletions?
You could vote for deletion, state your
reason, then really delete it...
So what exactly is the overlap between [[Wikipedia:Votes for Deletion]]
and [[Wikipedia utilities/Page titles to be deleted]]? Is the latter now
deprecated?
