සැකිල්ල:Cfd main page banner/doc

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:Cfd main page banner|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:Cfd main page banner|category name|date=yyyy Month dd|CfD section name}}

Example:

          {{subst:Cfd main page banner|Example category|date=2024 දෙසැම්බර් 12}}

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.

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:

• {{subst:cfrnotice|Foo|target=bar}}
• {{subst:cfrnotice|Foo|to=bar}}
• {{subst:cfmnotice|Foo|target=bar}}
• {{subst:cfmnotice|Foo|with=bar}}
