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:
     {{subst:Cfdnotice|category name|date=yyyy Month dd}}

If the CfD section name is different from the category name (e.g. when nominating several categories at once), add this:
     {{subst:Cfdnotice|category name|date=yyyy Month dd|CfD section name}}

Example:
     {{subst:Cfdnotice|Example category|date=2026 January 18}}

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 parameters, and have mnemonic |to= and |with= aliases for them, respectively:

  • {{cfrnotice|Foo|target=bar}}
  • {{cfrnotice|Foo|to=bar}}
  • {{cfmnotice|Foo|target=bar}}
  • {{cfmnotice|Foo|with=bar}}

See also

  • Template:Cfd-notify – template to notify the category's creator or a related WikiProject of the nomination.
  • Template:Cfdnotice2 – similar to both Template:Cfd-notify and Template:Cfdnotice but more generally worded. Could be placed on related article talk pages or user talk pages.
