[edit] Category

This should probably have a category or two, but offhand, I don't know what. Maurreen (talk) 07:48, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

  • I don't think it's all that useful to make a category actually; I can't imagine anyone looking in Category:Pages with a related category for deletion or something. Radiant_>|< 08:42, September 2, 2005 (UTC)
    • Yes, the cleanup needs some method of finding the articles to remove this template.

    • What I meant was, are templates supposed to be categorized somehow? Maurreen (talk) 15:18, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
      • Ah. No, not really, since adding the template to a category will also add all articles containing the template to the same category. However, there's Wikipedia:Template messages, and it may be useful to list it there. Radiant_>|< 16:22, September 2, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Copyedit

I've given this template the same layout as other talk page templates (WP:TS). Also, it now takes a parameter to indicate which category it actually is, e.g. {{cfd-article|Your category name here}}. Finally, I've made a shortcut, maybe {{cfda}} to redirect here. Feel free to change any or all of what I just said, it's just suggestions. Radiant_>|< 08:42, September 2, 2005 (UTC)

Good changes, thanks. Maurreen (talk) 15:18, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Template messages -- need help, please

I added this to Wikipedia:Template messages/Maintenance. But it now says there, "This template is misplaced. It belongs on the talk page: Wikipedia talk:Template messages/Maintenance," and I have no idea why. Maurreen (talk) 17:00, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

  • I do :) read the source of the template, you'll see. The trick is simple - subst it into the maintenance page, and remove the talkpage bit. Radiant_>|< 22:24, September 2, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Two argument form

Wondering if its a good idea to have a two argument form of this template so merges and renamings could list the intended target? --Salix alba (talk) 23:58, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Maybe, although that will be apparent at the CfD page itself. However, need another argument for the date to direct them to the correct day page, and assist in finding these templates to cleanup afterward. There are currently hundreds (thousands?) from ancient debates.

[edit] Wikipedia:Categories for discussion

After the rename, renamed this template and its category to match, as it seems to be put on Talk and other Categories more often than articles.

[edit] Moved documentation

It's now at Template:Cfdnotice/doc. +mwtoews 04:17, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Link in template?

Is there a way that this template can be used to link properly to a mass CfD? As it is now, if a CfD is part of a group, the "discussion" link will point to a section that probably doesn't exist. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 07:33, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
