| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Cfd main page banner. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
| This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Cfd main page banner}}). |
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 17}}
Will produce:
| The related Category:Example category has been nominated for deletion, merging, or renaming. You are encouraged to join the discussion on the Categories for Discussion page. |
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:
{{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.
