Discarded items are items flagged for deletion to facilitate the maintenance of the wiki. If an item (a category page, an article page, an extras page, a help page, a template page, a file page, ...) is created erroneously (wrong namespace, wrong naming convention, wrong spelling, wrong capitalization, wrong grammatical number (singular/plural), and so on...) only a sysop or an administrator has the proper rights to delete it, but we may facilitate their task by flagging the item as discarded.

To categorize an item as Category:Discarded items you just use the template tag {{discarded|Reason for discarding}} in the item's (a category page, an article page, an extras page, a help page, a template page, a file page, ...) page, where "Reason for discarding" is a short explanation of the request for deletion.
