===Purpose===
The purpose for this template is to reduce repeated [[WP:PROD|proposed deletion]] (PROD) nominations of the same article.

Use this template to flag that this article has gone through a proposed deletion proposal in the past, and is hence ineligible for a second PROD, and also that editors could benefit from checking up on past discussions before nominating it for deletion to AFD.

This template should not be used for [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion of biographies of living people]] / {{tl|prod blp}} deletions, that is a separate process with separate criteria, independent of the regular '''proposed deletion''' process.

===When to use===
Add it mainly to article talk pages where a) you consider future deletion proposals likely, and b) you consider the denial of such proposals equally likely.

Specifically, this template documents the facts that:{{olist |list_style_type=lower-alpha
|an article has previously been tagged for a [[WP:PROD|proposed deletion]], as well as
|the PROD may have been [[WP:PROD#Nominating|seconded]] by Some Other Editor, as well as
|the PROD may have been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion#Objecting|contested]] by Some Other Editor, either by removing the tag or using [[Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion|WP:REFUND]].
}}

Although it can be used for documenting ''active'' (seconded) PRODs, it will generally be added only after a PROD has been contested and removed.

This template populates [[:Category:Past proposed deletion candidates]].

Ideally, the contester should add it manually to the talk page. This is a courtesy, and also a handy record of the rationales given by the proposer, seconder (if any) and contester.

If you contest a PROD, then you should also notify the nominator by placing a {{tl|Deprod}} on their Talk page.

===Usage===
;Vertical format: copy-paste the following text, then fill in the appropriate parameters:
<pre>
{{Old prod
| nom =
| nomdate = {{SUBST:#time: Y-m-d}}
| nomreason =
| 2nd =
| 2nddate = {{SUBST:#time: Y-m-d}}
| 2ndreason =
| con =
| condate = {{SUBST:#time: Y-m-d}}
| conreason =
}}
</pre>

Depending on the value of {{para|nomdate}}, the template takes different appearances:
*If nomdate is within the past 7.25 days, the template produces: (nomdate set to today in example)
{{Old prod | nomdate = {{#time: Y-m-d}} }}
*If nomdate is older than 7.25 days, the template produces: (nomdate 1 year ago, in example)
{{Old prod | nomdate = {{#time: Y-m-d | now-1year}} }}

However, it takes the latter appearance, regardless of nomdate, if the {{para|declined}} is set (to any value), or if {{para|con}} is specified.

There are three types of ''editors'' (<code>[[Three-letter acronym|TLA]]</code>), each with two ''optional parameters'':
#<code>nom</code> is the editor who [[WP:PROD#Nominating|initiated]] the PROD.
#<code>2nd</code> is the editor who [[WP:PROD#Nominating|seconded]] the PROD.
#<code>con</code> is the editor who [[WP:CONTESTED|contested]] the PROD.

There are two ''optional parameters'' for each ''editor'':
#<code>''TLA''date</code> is the appropriate date in [[ISO 8601]] format, ''e.g.'', <code>YYYY-MM-DD</code>.<br><small>(Note that {{((}}[[mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##time|#time: Y-m-d]]{{))}} will supply the current date. Please do not use {{tl|ISO date}}, as it introduces unwanted HTML tags.)</small>
#<code>''TLA''reason</code> is the text they provided (perhaps copied from the [[Help:Edit summary|Edit summary]]).

This template will [[wiktionary:automagical|automagical]]ly generate appropriate output based on the parameters supplied, ''e.g.'', only the editors.

=== Examples ===
Using just the ''editor'' parameters:
<pre>
{{Old prod
| nom= MBisanz
| 2nd= 72.75.72.63
| con= Callelinea
}}
</pre>
{{Old prod
| nom= MBisanz
| 2nd= 72.75.72.63
| con= Callelinea
}}
-----
Using some of the parameters:
<pre>
{{Old prod
| nomreason= Part of a batch of articles with [[WP:COI/N]] issues
| 2nd= 72.75.72.63
| 2nddate= 2008-02-03
| con= Callelinea
| conreason= Added reference and external link … will edit later
}}
</pre>
{{Old prod
| nomreason= Part of a batch of articles with [[WP:COI/N]] issues

| 2nddate= 2008-02-03
