Template:Catfd/doc

Purpose
Nominate a category with corresponding (same name) template for deletion. As per WP:CDP the proper way to do this is is a WP:TFD mentioning the category.

That's not obvious, the Tfd and Cfd instructions forgot to mention WP:CDP. For a strange effect of parallel deletion nominations see User kon.

The Tfd poll linked to the Cfd and vice versa. Nevertheless the Tfd failed, but the Cfd carried. That's wrong, the template makes no sense without category.

Usage
As explained by Template:catfd. Unlike Tfd it uses   and therefore must not be used on the included portion of the template for deletion.

Where that's desirable, e.g. to put warnings on all pages with the template for deletion, use  .

In other words you can combine catfd on the category page with any normal tfd on the template, and still use {{subst:catfd2}} for the Tfd discussion log page.

Examples

 TemplateName  &#160; This creates a subsection:
 * 1) Add    at the top of both  Category And Template For Deletion &#160; pages. You must use &lt;noinclude&gt;  &lt;/noinclude&gt; on the template page, see the full documentation.
 * 2) Maybe add  TemplateName  on relevant talk pages.
 * 3) At the top of [ Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2024 August 27] add as per WP:TFD
