[edit] Moved documentation

Hi, I've moved the documentation from this Talk page to the Template:Cfd/doc subpage, as recommended in Wikipedia:Template doc page pattern. Please edit the template to:

<!--BEGIN CFD TEMPLATE-->
<!-- Please do not remove or change this [[Template:Cfd]] message until the survey and discussion at [[WP:CfD]] is closed -->
{{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|{{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>NAMESPACE}}| |{{error:not substituted|cfd}}<div style="display:none;">}}<div class="boilerplate metadata" id="cfd" style="margin: 0 5%; padding: 0 7px 7px 7px; background: #FFFCE6; border: 1px solid #aaa; text-align: left; font-size:95%;">
'''This category is being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Category deletion policy|Categories for Discussion policies]][[Template:Cfd|.]]''' {{#if:{{{1|}}}|This nomination is part of a discussion of several related categories.}} This does '''''not''''' mean that any of the '''articles''' in the category will be deleted. They may, however, be recategorized.<br/>
Please share your thoughts on the matter at '''[[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/{{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>CURRENTYEAR}} {{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>CURRENTDAY}}#Category:{{#if:{{{1|}}}|{{{1}}}|{{PAGENAME}}}}|this category's entry]]''' on the [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion|Categories for Discussion]] page.
Please do not empty the category or remove this notice while the discussion is in progress.<br/>
''[{{fullurl:Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/{{CURRENTYEAR}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}|action=edit&section=2}} add entry]  '''{{subst:cfd2|{{PAGENAME}}{{#if:{{{1|}}}|{{!}}{{{1}}}}}|text=Your reason(s) for the proposed deletion. ~~~~}}'''''
</div>
<includeonly>
[[Category:Categories for deletion|{{PAGENAME}}]]
</includeonly>
[[Category:CfD {{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>CURRENTYEAR}}-{{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>CURRENTMONTH}}]]
<!-- End of CfD message, feel free to edit beyond this point -->
<!--END CFD TEMPLATE--><noinclude>
{{protected template}}
{{{{FULLPAGENAME}}/doc}}
<!-- Add cats and interwikis to the /doc subpage, not here! -->
</noinclude>

There is also some comments in this source code that may not be relevant anymore (I don't know first hand) so it could be removed. Thanks. +mwtoews 17:31, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

That version doesn't work...try it. —Mets501 (talk) 19:46, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
Done. --CBD 22:47, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Add Delete to the copy-and-paste text

The text given to copy-and-paste is different to the text given on the instruction page. Specifically, it misses out Delete - the result is you may end up not specifying what kind of change you wish to make on the log page (although it should be obvious from the context). greenrd 14:26, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Policy link

{{editprotected}}

The link to the policy can be updated to Wikipedia:Categories for Discussion policies for simplicity and to avoid unnecessary redirects. - Fayenatic london (talk) 17:46, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Y Done (bypassing the redirect and correcting the capitalisation in the link's display text). --ais523 17:52, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Piped link, grammar

{{editprotected}}

[[Wikipedia:Categories for Discussion policies]] → [[Wikipedia:Categories for Discussion policies|categories for discussion policy]]
Melsaran (talk) 19:21, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

I have changed it to [[Wikipedia:Category deletion policy|category deletion policy]] to avoid the redirect. Thanks, mattbr 21:58, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Minor modification

The categories for renaming and the category for deletion are grouped together. When going through the list to vote, it it sometimes confusing which process is taking place for each nomination. I noticed that the nominations for renaming have a line that states just that: Propose renaming. I think we should added (in the corresponding place) a line that says "Propose deleting" on the deletion template. I would have gone on and done it, but I'm not an admin.--Esprit15d 13:27, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
