Template:Initiated
(Initiated 0 days ago on 30 November 2024)
Usage
This template adds some color coding to requests on WP:ANRFC that allows a closer to quickly see which ones have been waiting the longest for a close.
{{Initiated|DATE|type=|done=}}
Replace DATE
with the day the discussion was initiated in "DAY MONTH YEAR" format with the month as a word (example: 22 January 2014).
Set the type by filling in the |type=
parameter with the discussion type's code (which will be automatically normalized to lowercase letters). Valid values are: afd; block; cfd; drv; ffd; mfd; mrv; rfa; rfc (default); rfd; rm; rmv; tban; tfd; xfd. If another value is used, or this parameter is left blank, it defaults to rfc.
It color codes into three categories:
- If the request was initiated less than 30 (7 for XfD, 14 for RM, 3 for Topic Ban requests) days ago, the template text will display in blue.
- If the request was initiated 31 to 60 (8 to 21 for XfD, 15 to 30 for RM, 3 to 7 for Topic Ban requests) days ago, the template text will display in green.
- If the request was initiated more than 60 (21 for XfD, 30 for RM, 7 for Topic Ban requests) days ago, the template text will display in red.
In addition to the visual colorings, requests more than 60 (21 for XfD/xRv, 7 for Topic Ban requests) days old will also add non-"archive" pages the template is used on to Category:Administrative backlog.
You can also use this to mention previous discussions by using the |from=
parameter which will prevent coloring and categorization but will use the same styling.
When requests are completed, please mark them with |done=yes
to remove the formatting and disable the categorization.
This template has not been added to any categories. Please help out by adding categories to it so that it can be listed with similar templates. |
