			<pre>{{subst:Afd notice\|Article title\|discussion=Talk:Article title#Deletion proposal}}</pre>
	This template is intended to be placed on a [[Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines\|user talk page]] to warn the creator of or a principal contributor to an article that such article has been nominated for deletion at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion]]. [http://vs.aka-online.de/cgi-bin/wppagehiststat.pl Wikipedia Page History Statistics] may be used to identify principal contributors to an article by number of edits.

			The <code>discussion</code> parameter names the actual local discussion, including a section where useful. Dates and outcomes record a discussion; they do not import another site's deadlines or voting rules. Keep relevant contributor credits and historical records.
	To use, append <code><nowiki>{{subst:Afd notice\|Name of nominated page}} ~~~~</nowiki></code> to a user talk page; a section heading will be automatically created. If this is a renomination or a group nomination, please give the name of the nomination page as a second parameter.

	'''Examples:'''
		⚫	* [[Project:Articles for deletion]]
	*<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>subst:Afd notice \|''ARTICLE NAME'' }} <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>
			* [[Project:Deletion policy]]
	*<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>subst:Afd notice \|''ARTICLE NAME'' \|''ARTICLE NAME'' (2nd nomination)}} <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>
			* [[Project:Consensus]]
	*<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>subst:Afd notice \|''ARTICLE NAME'' \|''NAME OF GROUP NOMINATION PAGE''}} <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>
	*<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>subst:Afd notice \|''ARTICLE NAME'' \|action=merging \|target=''MERGE TARGET''}} <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>
	*<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>subst:Afd notice \|''ARTICLE NAME'' \|action=redirect \|target=''REDIRECT TARGET''}} <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>
	*<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>subst:Afd notice \|''ARTICLE NAME'' \|action=draft}} <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>

	The template should always be [[Wikipedia:Substitution\|substituted]] lest attempted replies should modify the template page; editors are encouraged to modify substituted templates to suit unique circumstances. Note that if you use the [[Wikipedia:Twinkle\|Twinkle]] tool, this template and all of the other relevant deletion-related templates will be automatically added to all of the corresponding pages ''for you'' whenever you nominate a page for deletion.

	'''''Warning''': Aggressive use of this template may be seen as [[Wikipedia:Canvassing\|canvassing]], which is disruptive and may lead to the canvasser(s) being blocked.''

	You can change the level-two header to a level-three header:
