An editor has nominated this article for deletion. You are welcome to participate in the deletion discussion, which will decide whether or not to retain it. |
 | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Afdx}}). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot. |
 | If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, move it, or nominate it for deletion, please notify Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy, as the standard installation of Twinkle adds and removes this template. Thank you! |
This template will categorise articles into Category:Articles for deletion. This template is a self-reference and so is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopedic content.
This template should always be substituted onto pages it appears on, because it requires that the {{PAGENAME}} variable be substituted. (This is so that the link to the AFD discussion does not break when the page is renamed during AFD discussions.) If the template is not substituted, a warning message is shown instead.
This template results in 3 lines of wikitext that make use of {{AfDM}}. This template is intended for renominating articles that have already been nominated for deletion before. For nominating articles for the first time, use the {{afd}} template instead.
Usage
[edit]For Wikipedia:Proposed deletion use {{Prod}}. WP:PROD takes load off WP:AFD and should always be used instead if reasonable.
{{subst:afdx}}
{{subst:afdx|3rd}}
{{subst:afdx|4th}}
This template will place a notice that the page has been nominated for deletion. It should be placed at the top of the page and substituted.
Equivalent results can also be achieved using the normal {{afd}} template, at the cost of some extra typing. Specifically, the three examples above produce exactly the same results as:
{{subst:afd|PAGENAME (2nd nomination)}}
{{subst:afd|PAGENAME (3rd nomination)}}
{{subst:afd|PAGENAME (4th nomination)}}
Where PAGENAME is the title of the page the template is being placed on.
