Template:Old CfD/doc

Usage
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 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.

Legacy functionality
Some functionality is present in the template for legacy reasons. It's deprecated, so you shouldn't have to worry about it in most situations.


 * name specifies the title (header) of the discussion to link to; available as an alternative to using section or the unnamed parameter.
 * usercat: as WP:UCFD has now been merged back into WP:CFD, this parameter is deprecated and should not be used.
 * date formerly suggested the format, which was changed due to being non-standard.
