Template:Old AfD multi

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is for listing the results of one or more deletion discussions of articles (or other pages) on talk pages. This template is fully compatible with the options of the old Template:Oldafdfull, which now redirects here, allowing additions when more AfD discussions have taken place.

Usage

{{Old AfD multi
<!-- 1st -->
| date      = 
| result    = 
| page      = 
| link      = 
| caption   = 
<!-- 2nd -->
| date2     = 
| result2   = 
| page2     = 
| link2     = 
| caption2  = 
<!-- ...  -->
<!-- behavior -->
| small     = <!-- yes/no -->
| collapse  = <!-- yes/no/a number value -->
| numbered  = <!-- yes/no -->
| type      = <!-- article, template, file, essay, etc. -->
}}

Parameters

• date, date2, date3...: Date of nomination, required for listing except for date.
• result, result2, result3...: Result of AfD, default value is Keep.
• page, page2, page3...: Name of discussion page (defaults to "{{PAGENAME}}" for the first listing, page).
• link, link2, link3...: Use these instead of "page" to link to a full URL of a discussion, which is useful when including other discussions than AfD, for example old VfD or DRV discussions, or when using this template to list discussions on TfD, MfD etc.
• caption, caption2, caption3...: This defines the caption for the link to the discussion, default is "discussion", mainly useful when linking to other discussions than AfD.
• small: The option "small = yes" will generate a smaller, right-aligned version without image.
• collapse: Specifies the number of AfDs that show up collapsed by default, counted from the oldest nomination (date). Alternatively, "collapse = yes" will collapse the entire list by default.
• numbered: When "numbered = yes" is included, the listed nominations will be numbered, starting with "1." for the first nomination. Using this option is encouraged when collapsing a part of the list by default.
• type: Use this when using the template for listing other discussions than main space articles. This setting defines the word to replace the word "page" in the first sentence in the box, for example "template", "category" etc...

Numbered options are for the subsequent AfDs, starting with the oldest. Please note that specifying the date is required and specifying the page is highly encouraged. Without date the AfD is not listed and without page, there is no link to the discussion. For reasons of compatibility with {{Oldafdfull}}, date and page are not required for the first AfD and votepage is allowed instead of page.
