Template:Old XfD multi

File:Test Template Info-Icon - Version (2).svg Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is for listing the results of one or more deletion discussions of articles (or other pages) on talk pages. This template is fully compatible with the options of the old Template:Oldafdfull, which now redirects here, allowing additions when more AfD discussions have taken place.

Usage

{{Old XfD multi
<!-- 1st -->
|date     = 
|result   = 
|page     = 
|link     = 
|caption  = 
<!-- 2nd -->
|date2    = 
|result2  = 
|page2    = 
|link2    = 
|caption2 = 
<!-- ...  -->
<!-- behavior -->
|small    = <!-- yes/no -->
|collapse = <!-- yes/no/a number value -->
|numbered = <!-- yes/no -->
|type     = <!-- article, template, file, essay, etc. -->
|deletion = <!-- deletion, merging, renaming etc. -->
}}

Parameters

• date, date2, date3...: Date of nomination, required for listing except for date.
• result, result2, result3...: Result of AfD, default value is keep.
• page, page2, page3...: Link to discussion page (defaults to "{{PAGENAME}}" for the first listing, page). If the value is in the article namespace, then it is prefixed by "Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/".
• votepage, votepage2, votepage3...: Alias for page, needed for compatibility with entries that previously used {{Old VfD}}
• link, link2, link3...: Alternative to "page". The link should be to a full URL of the discussion, although you may use the {{canonicalurl:}} magic word.
• merge, merge2, merge3...: Used with merges
• caption, caption2, caption3...: This defines the caption for the link to the discussion, default is "discussion", mainly useful when linking to other discussions than AfD.
• small: The option "small = yes" will generate a smaller, right-aligned version without image.
• collapse: Specifies the number of AfDs that show up collapsed by default, counted from the oldest nomination (date). Alternatively, "collapse = yes" will collapse the entire list by default.
• numbered: When "numbered = yes" is included, the listed nominations will be numbered, starting with "1." for the first nomination. Using this option is encouraged when collapsing a part of the list by default.
• type: Use this when using the template for listing other discussions than main space articles. This setting defines the word to replace the word "page" in the first sentence in the box, for example "template", "category" etc...
• deletion: Replaces the word deletion in the top line of the template.

Numbered options are for the subsequent AfDs, starting with the oldest. Please note that specifying the date is required and specifying the page is highly encouraged. Without date the AfD is not listed and without page, there is no link to the discussion. For reasons of compatibility with {{Oldafdfull}}, date and page are not required for the first AfD and votepage is allowed instead of page.
