Template talk:Cfd notice

message: Good idea to have a template, but shouldn't it have a name that isn't so close to  when the intended use is different?  How about ?? BencherliteTalk 01:07, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Other options include  (redirects to a deprecated template tagged for deletion), , , and . – Black Falcon (Talk) 01:39, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No real preference, just thought that having only a "-" difference might get confusing.  Will quite happily leave up to creator and godparent to decide if/what new name needed.  You should have notified Cgingold with  ("It has been suggested that a template of which you are the godparent should be renamed.  You are welcome to join in the discussion") BencherliteTalk 02:00, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, dear -- I'm afraid this "godparent" thing is starting to get out of hand! :) As to the choice of name, I'm thinking we might want to go with "cfd-notify", which would leave open the possibility of creating a nearly identical template (perhaps "cfd-notify-other") that could be used for notifying other parties.

replies: text: You think this is bad? Just wait until it hits puberty! :P "Cfd-notify" it is, then! I'll move the page and update it as needed. Incidentally, should  remain a redirect to , or should it be retargeted to ? – Black Falcon (Talk) 08:10, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Definitely redirect to , since it's an obvious variant that someone could type by mistake. Cheers, Cgingold 00:44, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Rename suggestion

message: Hi -- This template automatically adds a subheading which is very nice. BUT when you go to edit the message, for whatever reason, it links back to the template unless it was properly SUBSTed.  So we need to have one of those nifty little SUBST warnings when someone tries to include the template without SUBSTing. --Lquilter (talk) 20:39, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, that would be nice. I ended up accidentally editing the template when I meant to correct an error I made in adding the template to a user page. I caught my mistake right away, but it was a little bit surprising and caught me off guard. Snocrates 23:00, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: fix no-SUBST subheading issue?

message: The notice is supposed to produce links to the discussion. However it is printing out the category's entry text. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jappalang (talk • contribs) 23:48, March 8, 2008 (UTC)
:Did you remember to specify the date of the nomination? Both the category name (without the "Category:" prefix) and the date (in YEAR MONTH DAY) format are required parameters. Black Falcon (Talk) 23:51, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Ah... I was following the  stated in WP:CFD. My  with the "date=" left in must have triggered the incorrect text. Sorry. Jappalang (talk) 03:41, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for pointing that out, actually. I've corrected the formerly erroneous instructions. Black Falcon (Talk) 04:30, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Template is not producing links 

message: Does the "i" icon improve the notice or message in any way? Although it adds a graphic element to the message, talk pages nowadays often are littered with icons and it seems doubtful to me that the icon actually attracts attention. Any thoughts on removing it and leaving a plain-text notification? -- Black Falcon (talk) 07:17, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: As there have been no objections, I have removed the icon. -- Black Falcon (talk) 19:25, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Lack of objections is probably related to the fact that this template has fewer than 30 people watching it. --AussieLegend (talk) 14:57, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  "I" icon 

message: This edit replaced the text "nominated for discussion" with "nominated for deletion, merging or renaming". The reason offered in the edit summary was that "it's extremely important for people to be told in specific, concrete terms that the category they created is facing deletion, etc. - and not a mere 'discussion'. I think, for three reasons, that the previous wording should be restored:
#There are other specific options besides deletion, merging and renaming, such as splitting or conversion into a list.
#A category can be nominated merely for discussion about its scope or organization (in the case of a category tree), without any goal of seeing the category deleted, merged or renamed.
#The (optional) "action" parameter allows nominators to specify, if they think it is needed, the specific action that is proposed.

thread_title:  Deletion, merging or renaming 

message: What would folks think about adjusting the section title to take the  parameter?  So it would say ":Category:Category has been nominated for renaming"?  I've made the simple change in the sandbox but wanted some other input from folks who use it. ~  Amory (u • t • c) 19:07, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems reasonable; it's already a switch in the body of the text, might as well match it. Primefac (talk) 19:34, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I've gone and done it — in hindsight, simple enough a change and probably didn't merit this here.  I want to add this to Twinkle so it should be more useful in general. ~  Amory (u • t • c) 12:22, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Put action in section title 

message: Noted in (somewhat) more detail at WT:CFD but I added a  parameter that changes some of the messages and links so this can be used for stub template nominations.  Looked fine testing in the sandbox but would welcome improvements. ~  Amory (u • t • c) 13:39, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
