| 40px | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Cfd. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
| 40x40px | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Cfd}}). |
| 50x40px | If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, move it, or nominate it for deletion, please notify Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy, as this template is used in the standard installation of Twinkle. Thank you! |
To propose deleting a category. The template displays the proper links and the recommended {{Cfd2}} syntax for the next step.
Please follow overall instructions.
Usage
If a single category:
If a group of similar categories or a category and its subcategories, use an umbrella nomination:
- SectionName is the joint discussion section. It may be a category name, or any other unique name that reflects the nominations.
- Please include "Cfd" in the edit summary, and don't mark the edit as minor.
- Preview before saving. The display will give more precise instructions about the next step.
Optional parameter
A parameter is available to propose something more narrowly tailored than outright deletion:
|type= – something other than "deletion"; noun/gerund, lower-case (replaces the word "deletion" in "This category is being considered for deletion.")
Examples:
{{Cfd|type=containerization}}{{Cfd|type=navboxification}}{{Cfd|type=rescoping}}{{Cfd|type=cleanup discussion}}{{Cfd|type=expansion}}{{Cfd|type=subcategorization}}
Can be used with the SectionName:
{{Cfd|type=containerization|Bishops and archbishops categories}}
All of these presently categorize articles in Category:Categories for general discussion.
Note: There are already specialized templates for most common CfD actions:
{{Cfc}}- convert to article (other than a list){{Cfr}}– rename{{Cfl}}– listify{{Cfm}}– merge (including upmerge){{Cfs}}- split
