TemplateData
TemplateData for Article for deletion
A helper template to nominate articles for deletion. DO NOT transclude this template directly; instead, use {{subst:afd}}, which fills in the template automatically.
| Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Substituted? | substed | If this value is anything but "yes", the template produces the error message "This template must be substituted. Replace {{afd with {{subst:afd." DO NOT set this parameter manually, as Template:Afd does this automatically instead.
| String | required |
| Article to delete | page | The title of the article being deleted, if not the article that this template is being transcluded on. If not specified, this template defaults to assuming that the page it's on is the one being deleted.
| Page name | suggested |
| Log date | logdate date | The date for which the AfD discussion page should be added to the corresponding daily AfD log. This must be given in year-month-day format, with the month's name specified. Only used if the help message is shown. If used, the "year", "month", and "day" parameters are not needed.
| String | suggested |
