Template:Old TfD/doc

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 May 13|result=keep}}

Parameters

|date= and |result=

Mandatory parameters.

|1=

Optional parameter 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}}

|disc= a.k.a. |discuss=, |talk=

Customize the discussion section's title. Default is template full page name. Example: {{Old TfD|date =2024 May 13|result=keep|disc=Language templates}}.

|merge=target

For merger proposals. Changes "deletion" to "merging with target".

|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.

|cat=yes

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.

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.
