[edit] Template:Ifdef

See Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion/Log/2006_April_18#Template:Ifdef, this Tfd stated erroneously that this is a fork of {{Qif}}, which got its own Mfd:

1. Unlike Qif it doesn't use named parameters, its user interface is different.
2. Unlike Qif m:Template:Ifdef can be substituted, because it has no else part.
3. Its code (23 bytes) is a shorthand for a technique documented on a help page.
4. This technique isn't advanced, esoteric, or depending on parser functions.
5. The Tfd was part of a campaign to replace {{Qif}} everywhere by the new #if:.
6. It works in certain cases where #if: fails, see mediazilla:5678, Meta, and here.
7. Ifdef is used to analyze problems with Qif and #if:, it has various backlinks.
8. It was used without problems in {{Tlsp}}, {{Tlx}}, and others for several weeks.
9. These templates were "upgraded" to #if: shortly before the end of the Tfd.
