Template:Old TfD/doc
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 header template is placed on talk pages of templates and modules to link to previous relevant TfD discussions.
Usage
This template should not be substituted.
{{Old TfD|date=|result=}}
e.g.
{{Old TfD|date=2024 July 28|result=keep}}
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:
{{Old TfD|date=|result=|Template:pagename}}
Where the section was a general title, not a template name, use |disc=
(a.k.a. |discuss=
, |talk=
)
{{Old TfD|date =2024 July 28|result=keep|disc=Language templates}}
This template was considered for deletion on 2024 July 28. The result of the discussion was "keep". |
For merger proposals:
- Use
|merge=target
which changes "deletion" to "merging with target". - If more than one, use the free-form addon parameters
|more_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.
There is also a |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.
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.
