This is a documentation subpage for Template:Old TfD.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is used on approximately 7,700 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, move it, or nominate it for deletion, please notify XFDcloser's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:XFDcloser as a courtesy, as this template is used in the standard installation of XFDcloser. Thank you!

This header template is placed on talk pages of templates and modules to link to previous relevant TfD discussions.

Usage

{{Old TfD|date=|result=}}

e.g. {{Old TfD|date=2024 July 28|result=keep}}

Old TfD naming scheme

For templates that survived a TfD debate before 4 January 2006, use |link=Not deleted/MONTHNAME YEAR to modify the link to point to the relevant deletion discussion.

TemplateData

This is the TemplateData for this template used by TemplateWizard, VisualEditor and other tools. See a monthly parameter usage report for Template:Old TfD in articles based on its TemplateData.

TemplateData for Old TfD

No description.

Template parameters
Parameter		Description	Type	Status
Non-default pagename	`1`	For when the page has been moved since the deletion debate, or if it was nominated under the name of another template in a multiple nomination: {{Old TfD\|date=\|result=\|Template:pagename}}	String	optional
date	`date`	no description	Date	required
result	`result`	no description Default keep	String	required
Merge target	`merge`	For merger proposals. Changes "deletion" to "merging with target".	Page name	optional
Additional wikitext to merge message	`more_merge`	To add additional wikitext to \|merge=. E.g. \|more_merge=and [[target2]], and [[target2]] — linking and punctuation needs to be added manually in this parameter (which begins immediately after the value of \|merge= with a space character between it and the value of \|more_merge=). If the merge targets all share the same talk page, you can use the special value \|merge=self to just output "merging" without specifying template names.	Content	optional
link	`link`	Replaces \|date=	Content	optional
Talk page section	`talk` `disc` `discuss`	no description Default {{{1}}}	String	optional
small	`small`	no description	Boolean	optional

+This header template is placed on talk pages of templates and modules to link to previous relevant [[WP:TFD|TfD discussions]].
 ==Usage==
-'''This template should not be [[Wikipedia:Template substitution|substituted]].'''
 {{Tlc|Old TfD|date&#61;|result&#61;}}
 e.g.
 {{tlc|Old TfD|date&#61;{{CURRENTYEAR}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}|result&#61;keep}}
+== Old TfD naming scheme ==
-and an optional code for non-default pagename, suitable if the page has been moved since the deletion debate, or if it was nominated under the name of another template in a multiple nomination:
+For templates that survived a TfD debate before 4 January 2006, use {{para|link|Not deleted/{{var|MONTHNAME}} {{var|YEAR}}}} to modify the link to point to the relevant deletion discussion.
+== TemplateData ==
-{{Tlx|Old TfD|date&#61;|result&#61;|Template:''pagename''}}
+{{TemplateData header}}
+<templatedata>
-Where the section was a general title, not a template name, use {{para|disc}} (a.k.a. {{para|discuss}}, {{para|talk}})

+			"type": "string"

-For merger proposals:
+		"date": {
-* Use {{para|merge|{{var|target}}}} which changes "[[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion]]" to "[[Wikipedia:Merging|merging]] with {{var|target}}".
+			"type": "date",
-* If more than one, use the free-form addon parameters {{para|more_merge}}, e.g. {{para|more_merge|, <nowiki>[[</nowiki>{{var|target2}}<nowiki>]]</nowiki>, and <nowiki>[[</nowiki>{{var|target2}}<nowiki>]]</nowiki>}} – linking and punctuation needs to be added manually in this parameter, which begins immediately after the value of {{para|merge}}.
+			"required": true
-* If the merge targets all share the same talk page, you can use the special value {{para|merge|self}} to just output "merging" without specifying template names.
+		},
+		"result": {
-There is also a {{para|cat|yes}} parameter that changes "This template was..." to "This category was...", for use on talk pages of template-populated categories that were subject to deletion discussion at [[WP:TFD]] instead of [[WP:CFD]].
