Template:Redirect for discussion is permanently
protected from editing because it is a
heavily used or highly visible template. Substantial changes should first be proposed and discussed here on this page. If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by
consensus, editors may use {{
edit template-protected}} to notify an administrator or template editor to make the requested edit. Usually, any contributor may edit the template's
documentation to add usage notes or
categories.
Any contributor may edit the template's sandbox. Functionality of the template can be checked using test cases. |

The article alerts, generated daily for the various wikiprojects, consist of a list of relevant pages that have been nominated for deletion (or involved in other formal processes). There appears to have been a change with regard to RfDs: even though nominated redirects are still detected, and most of the relevant information appears to still be correctly parsed, the link to the relevant section in the log is no longer correctly generated. See for example Wikipedia:WikiProject Disambiguation/Article alerts, where the link for the RfD of RYE is displayed not as Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 March 22#RYE, but as Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 March 22#<1>. Could it be down to a recent change in the format of this template? – Uanfala (talk) 16:12, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
For the automatically generated code to place on the creator etc's talk page, would it be possible to have the details filled in so it can simply be copied over (by which I mean the parameters such as "days" so that it doesn't need to be changed manually, in particularly when adding RfD templates to listings which are missing them)? Thanks. A7V2 ( talk) 11:29, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
When Module:RfD is used on Category pages like the current Category:Test for category redirects, the code
"'''This title is currently a redirect ''' to [[:"
results in
[[::Category:Test for category redirects]]
Note the double colon, which results in a listing on this Linter error page. Is there a way to work around this edge case? – Jonesey95 ( talk) 15:27, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
What transcludes {{error}} in the talk namespace is currently swamped with all the pages that transclude Template:Chemicals, which is up for discussion. Template:Chemicals was not transluding {{ error}}s until this edit invoked Module:RfD. I assume that this module is causing the false-positive error transclusions, but I'm not fluent enough in Lua to figure out how this is happening. Can someone explain?

Currently, redirect pages currently going under RFD discussions are treated similarly to articles by the wiki software, show up in the search bar, and the shortdesc helper states that they currently have no short description. Therefore, I propose that this templates gives such redirects a shortdesc, probably along the lines of 'Article redirect undergoing discussion'. Xeroctic ( talk) 16:44, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Make the change as described in this diff. Alternatively, add the NOINDEX template onto Module:RfD. Toadette ( Let's talk together!) 08:15, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
