{{Deletion tools|Cfd}}<br />
<br />
To propose deleting a category. The template displays the proper links and the recommended {{tl|Cfd2}} syntax for the next step.<br />
<br />
Please follow [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Howto|overall instructions]].<br />
<br />
==Usage==<br />
If a single category:<br />
* {{tlxs|Cfd}}<br />
<br />
If a group of similar categories or a category and its subcategories, use an umbrella nomination:<br />
* {{tlxs|Cfd|'''{{var|SectionName}}'''}}<br />
:''SectionName'' is the joint discussion section. It may be a category name, or any other unique name that reflects the nominations.<br />
<br />
::Note that where the {{var|SectionName}} includes the category prefix, it must specified:<br />
::*{{tlxs|Cfd|'''Category:'''Bishops}} – with category prefix<br />
::*{{tlxs|Cfd|Bishops and archbishops categories}} – without category<br />
<br />
* Please include "Cfd" in the edit summary, and don't mark the edit as minor.<br />
* {{strong|Preview before saving.}} The display will give more precise instructions about the next step.<br />
<br />
===Optional parameter===<br />
A parameter is available to propose something more narrowly tailored than outright deletion:<br />
<br />
{{para|type}} – something other than "deletion"; noun/gerund, lower-case (replaces the word "deletion" in "This category is being considered for deletion.")<br />
<br />
Examples:<br />
<br />
*{{tlx|Cfd|type{{=}}containerization}}<br />
*{{tlx|Cfd|type{{=}}navboxification}}<br />
*{{tlx|Cfd|type{{=}}rescoping}}<br />
*{{tlx|Cfd|type{{=}}cleanup discussion}}<br />
*{{tlx|Cfd|type{{=}}expansion}}<br />
*{{tlx|Cfd|type{{=}}subcategorization}}<br />
Can be used with the {{var|SectionName}}:<br />
*{{tlx|Cfd|type{{=}}containerization|Bishops and archbishops categories}}<br />
All of these presently categorize articles in [[:Category:Categories for general discussion]].<br />
<br />
{{strong|Note:}} {{em|There are already specialized templates for most common CfD actions:}}<br />
* {{tlx|Cfc}} – convert to article (other than a list)<br />
* {{tlx|Cfr}} – rename<br />
* {{tlx|Cfl}} – listify<br />
* {{tlx|Cfm}} – merge (including upmerge)<br />
* {{tlx|Cfs}} – split<br />
