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. |
|||
All parameters are optional except {{para|date}}. |
|||
== Related guidance == |
|||
* {{para|section}}: the name of the discussion section on the [[WP:CFD|CFD]] page. Default is the name of the category itself. |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
* {{para|date}}: the date on which the discussion started. If it was February 7, 2006, the parameter would look like {{para|date|2006 February 7}}. |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
* {{para|action}}: what the nominator suggested. Default is "deletion". Having this parameter equal to "deletion", "merging", or "renaming" will provide a relevant wikilink. |
|||
* [[Project:Consensus]] |
|||
* {{para|result}}: outcome of the discussion. Default is '''keep'''. Do not bold this parameter by surrounding it with triple apostrophes; the template already does this. |
|||

{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|section=Category:Blackouts|date=2010 August 20|action=renaming|result=rename}} |
|||
===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. |
|||
* {{para|name}} specifies the title (header) of the discussion to link to; available as an alternative to using {{para|section}} or the unnamed parameter. |
|||
* {{para|usercat}}: as [[WP:UCFD]] has now been merged back into [[WP:CFD]], this parameter is deprecated and should not be used. |
|||
* {{para|date}} formerly suggested the format <code>|date=YYYY|Month|Day</code>, which was changed due to being non-standard. |
