Improving a deleted article: +meat

	=== Improving a deleted article ===		=== Improving a deleted article ===
			A user who thinks they can improve (or 'reboot') a deleted article to meet Battlestar Wiki's quality standards can do so by copyediting the articles content to a subpage (usually PAGENAME/Improvement), tagging it with the {{tl\|improvedundelete}} template and work on their improvement there. The article itself must not be touched, as it reflects the article's state upon deletion. (Note that these improvements do '''not''' extend the [[#Temporary undeletion\|aforementioned]] seven-day period, as the improvement changes can easily be viewed in the page history.) When the improver thinks their improvement is ready for inclusion in the main namespace, they can call a vote. If the majority of the voters accepts the improvement, it will be moved back to its proper location and stripped of its {{tl\|improvedundelete}} tag. Otherwise, the subpage will be deleted.
