 | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{ subst:Article for deletion}}). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot. |
 | If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, move it, or nominate it for deletion, please notify Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy, as the standard installation of Twinkle adds and removes this template. Thank you! |

This template will categorise articles into Category:Articles for deletion. This template is a self-reference and so is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopedic content.
This template should always be substituted onto pages it appears on, because it requires that the {{PAGENAME}} variable be substituted. (This is so that the link to the AFD discussion does not break when the page is renamed during AFD discussions.) If this template is not substituted, a warning message will be shown instead.
This template results in 3 lines of wikitext that make use of {{ AfDM}}.
Usage
For proposed deletion, use {{ proposed deletion}} or {{ prod}}. WP:PROD takes load off WP:AFD and should always be used instead, if reasonable.
{{
subst:article for deletion}} or {{
subst:afd}}
- This template will place a notice that the page has been nominated for deletion. It should be placed at the top of the page and substituted.
{{
subst:afd|Weather in London}} {{
subst:afd|Weather in London (2nd nomination)}}
- The parameter will link to a specific AFD discussion sub-page. Use this for linking multiple articles to a single AFD discussion page (bulk nominations) or for re-nominations of articles that have already been nominated for deletion before. (For the latter purpose, the {{ afdx}} template can also be used. )
