The text given to copy-and-paste is different to the text given on the instruction page.

21:58, 14 September 2007 (UTC)The categories for renaming and the category for deletion are grouped together. When going through the list to vote, it it sometimes confusing which process is taking place for each nomination. I noticed that the nominations for renaming have a line that states just that: Propose renaming. I think we should added (in the corresponding place) a line that says "Propose deleting" on the deletion template.

I propose that we change the format of the template to obviate the need for substitution, which is a nasty and inefficient way of ensuring that the by-day log link remains constant. The simplest way is simply to change the link to [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/All current discussions#{{{1}}}]], which is the method used by {{
tfd}}
. Comments?

{{
cfd}}
to display an error message if no parameter is given. Second, move the code to actually display the message to another template and convert {{
cfd}}
into a wrapper template that, when substituted, adds a properly-formatted template call to the main template. The downside of that is that we have to move the main code to a less informative title. I'm in favour of the former as it's cleaner and easier to make into a XfD-wide standard. If we perpetuate the substitution method, CfD, MfD and AfD remain using a different process to TfD, IfD, RfD, SfD, PROD and CSD. Shall I construct an example?

Reverting the change. It is broken. I suggest that this be tested before it is implemented and maybe announced at WP:CFD. Vegaswikian ( talk) 20:29, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
I have problems with this, and I wish I had seen it sooner. First, linking to CFD/AllCurrentDiscussions doesn't work, because frequently there are discussions that go longer than five days, and the links won't work. Second, if you are going to require a timestamp to be added (and an error given if it is not), there is no difference in the amount of work than requiring it to be subst'ed. Finally, if you are going to use the CFD template as a wrapper, it needs to be subst'ed anyway, so why go through the extra steps of the wrapper? That said, I'm in favor of making this easier to use, but not with the current problems. -- Kbdank71 22:13, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

How do I use this template? I just want to put a tag on a category that I think is pointless. I don't how to use templates. Is there a simple list I can add a link to? 69.125.134.86 ( talk) 01:11, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
I feel like that message in the template is very one-sided. It allows people to mass-add pages to a category while it's at CfD, but not to mass-delete them. This doesn't seem right. Either the "don't empty the category" language needs to be dropped, or there needs to be language in this template discouraging mass-adding to a category in the midst of a CfD. p b p 17:58, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

But what if there is some compelling urgent reason to do so, to remove one of more of the membership. The categorisation produces a BLP-violating bottom notice on an article, for example.
I suggest altering the that text to including a hyperlinked note to another page that reads: "If category members absolutely must be removed from the category, record their removals at the top of the CfD discussion.

The output is now crammed together, e.g.: Add entry: {{subst:cfr2|Cfr||header=Template:Cfr|text=Your reason(s) for the proposed rename. ~~~~}}Administrators: Click here to rename.
. There actually appears to be soft line-breaking in this output, but it is not rendering with a visual line-break before "Administrators" in the browser. I could probably go fix this (probably with <p>...</p>
instead of <br />
markup), but I don't mess with Lua much, and it's easy to break stuff if you're not steeped in Module behavior. I tend to constrain my TE gnoming to wiki-template code. :-) —
