Usage
[edit]This template should not be substituted.
{{old MfD
| date =
| result =
| page =
| altpage =
}}
- date: Date of nomination (not the date of closing)
- result: Default value is keep. Custom results will not appear in bold unless it is applied manually.
- page: This is only needed if the name of the deletion discussion page doesn't match the name of the page with this template. Enter the portion of the discussion page that comes after "Wikipedia:Miscellany for Deletion/". For example, if the discussion was at "Wikipedia:Miscellany for Deletion/Foo", you would enter "page=Foo". The default value is the name of the current page, that is, "{{PAGENAME}}"
- altpage: This is only needed if the name of the page that was nominated does not match the name of the talk page which it is placed, mainly for use on pages which have talk pages redirect to it to centralize discussion. For example, "Wikipedia:Foobar" was nominated for deletion, but "Wikipedia talk:Foobar" redirects to "Wikipedia talk:Foo" in order to centralize discussions. In this case,
altpage=Wikipedia:Foobarwould be placed in this template to prevent confusion and the reader thinking that the discussion was about "Wikipedia:Foo", the main page of talk page which "Wikipedia talk:Foobar" redirects.
- (Note: This function cannot be shared with the "page" parameter since the discussion name may be different from the other page's name.)
