{{Old CfD
| section = section name
| date = YYYY Month Day
| action = e.g. deletion, merging
| result = e.g. keep, delete, no consensus
}}
All parameters are optional except |date=.
|section=: the name of the discussion section on the CFD page. Default is the name of the category itself.
|date=: the date on which the discussion started. If it was February 7, 2006, the parameter would look like |date=2006 February 7.
|action=: what the nominator suggested. Default is "deletion". Having this parameter equal to "deletion", "merging", or "renaming" will provide a relevant wikilink.
|result=: outcome of the discussion. Default is keep. Do not bold this parameter by surrounding it with triple quotes; the template already does this.
