99: 155: 130: 1491:. My version avoids the duplication of the table markup, as well as allowing users to select any subset of sections to include or exclude, as shown on the right (with the AfD and speedy sections visible). I've also made some other minor cleanup changes, such as using {{fullurl:}} for the edit links to allow them to work over 955:
Janitors who need huge lists-o-links to pages can maintain them themselves. I don't personally think page-long templates are a good idea, and even going back to the version just before the class changes means the params are there if needed but the template remains identical. I'll just ignore the

IIRC, the point of having direct edit links (and links to the daily pages at all) was to avoid the need for an extra pageload if you already know what you're doing. Whether the copyvio link should go to a normal pageview, or be split into edit links for /Articles and /Images, is a tossup. My

I don't get it. You complain that the template isn't short enough, fix it by making it much longer, are already edit-warring to keep this version in place even before I can finish my initial talk post, and then blame an objective size increase on my screen resolution? Maybe you're using
1523:
Excellence. As for the fullurl links, though: I'd question whether these are all useful. In particular, the copyvios link goes to a page which specifically warns against directly editing it. Would it be worth changing these into regular wikilinks, with a slight accuracy hit?
879:
In an effort to keep this short and relevant on articles it's included on, is there any way this could be modified to accept an optional section parameter which only shows the relevant section? for instance, {{deletiontools|transwiki}} would only show the TransWiki section.
991:
Because your unique conbination of aesthetics and screen resolution isn't normative? Regardless, I could live without the class changes were the params to go back in. The rest was just icing to reduce the number of navboxes on WP which look like they came from 1996.
205:
I created the "Deletion Utility Belt" as a useful resource. Feel free to put it on your userpages/talkpages. Also, if you want to create a version with the Editor's Barnstar and give it as an award, go ahead. The template is {{Template:Deletiontools}}.
823:
Should this template be semiprotected, protected or unprotected in your opinion? I'm good with whatever, but it is a somewhat popular template that is not often subst:'ed. ATM I have it semiprotected since an anon vandal just changed it.
461: 1014:
monobook-specific classes, I dunno. In any case, I've reverted to the version with the old formatting and new parameters; this tempest in a teapot could've been avoided entirely if you'd pointed at it in a way a human could read. —
945:. Most of the pages where this is used, it's used precisely because of the links to the other processes. In addition, the complete version of the "subsettable" revision is nearly twice as large and looks exceedingly ugly. — 969:
So you take a page-long, 10%-screen-width template with clearly-visible section headers, and turn it into two and a half pages and 25% width, with nothing to offset different sections but whitespace? How is this

kneejerk preference is for the latter, though if no one's noticed it yet (and the split on the target page has been in place for some time now), it kind of speaks of underuse. —
325:
I've reinstated the old formatting, as class="db-aW5mb2JveA" doesn't seem to............hang on - is class infobox what's just changed? dammit. Hold your fire, investigating.
608: 482: 1512:
I have no real objection to this. Needing to include the all=0 parameter is a bit inelegant, but I don't see an easy way around it without resorting to subtemplates. —

Neutrality, do you mind if I add copyvio on there too? I think people working to get things deleted (KILL KILL KILL!!!) also check for copyright lots of times... -

I think we should link the deletion debates to a "deletiondebates" template instead, because that's the main thing I use this template for anyway. What say you?
