When nominating a category on WP:CFD, add this template to the main article's talk page to notify users of the category's nomination.

Usage

On the talk page add:

     Template:Tlps

If the CfD section name is different from the category name (e.g. when nominating several categories at once), add this:

     Template:Tlps

Example:

          Template:Tlps

will produce:

Also will add the article to Category:Categories for discussion notices.

You can be more specific (which helps reduce some editors' feeling of alarm, if it's just a rename or merge!) by using one of the following:

  • |type=renaming
  • |type=merging
  • |type=deletion

Template wrappers {{cfrnotice}} and {{cfmnotice}} do this for you automatically.

You can also specify the target of a rename or merge (just the category name without the "Category:" part (this can't handle complex cases like a three-way merge):

  • |type=renaming, |target=New category name
  • |type=merging, |target=Redundant category name

{{cfrnotice}} and {{cfmnotice}} will also pass this parameter, and have mnemonic |to= and |with= aliases for them, respectively:
