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 23}}

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.

  • 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.
