[edit] Purpose
When any template is nominated for deletion, it is in the Project's best interest that this receive attention from a properly fair number of concerned individual members. {{tfdnotice}} provides a consistent mechanism for such notification, including a helpful link to the correct TfD entry.
[edit] Usage
Place this notice on the Talk page of interested parties, such as nominated template creator. In the case of popular or significant nominees, it may be appropriate to give wide notice.
{{subst:tfdnotice|Nominee}} ~~~~
The parameter is the name of the nominated template. As TfD's scope does not extend beyond Template namespace, there is no need to supply that element of the name.
Substitution should be used with this template.

- This template can, and definately should be substituted using the "Subst:" parameter, so looking at the "What links here" info is useless. On the other hand, I have been putting notices on most of the Talk pages of the creators of the templates that I have nominated at TFD, but have found that a boilerplate notification doesn't work for me.

[edit] Template makes bad links
Please note that this template doesn't (didn't) work correctly as advertised. If one follows the instructions at Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Instructions, you get a link to, say, Wikipedia:Templates for deletion#Cleanarticle instead of the correct Wikipedia:Templates for deletion#Template:Cleanarticle. I've changed the template to do the latter. If you want to change it back, you'll have to alter the instructions to make them consistent. - dcljr (talk) 1 July 2005 05:58 (UTC)
[edit] My Misleading Edit-summ
I summarized confusedly and confusingly, bcz i lost track of the fact that i was viewing an edit from the middle, not the top, of the page's history. An accurate summary would have read
- rv to pre-error version that somehow slightly differs from the mistaken editor's attempt to restore.
I'm sorry for any confusion that my sloppy investigation may have caused colleagues.
