duplicating the same template for old user category discussions
[edit]I had to manually link the old user CfDs at a user category talk page[1] because this template links to CfD and not to uCfD. I would like to create {{Template:Olducfdfull}}, but I wanted first to ask on this page if this template could re-worked to add a "is_user_cat" template, or if it's better to just copy/paste this whole template and make the appropiate changes so it links correctly to user cats discussions --Enric Naval (talk) 00:45, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- I've added a parameter, usercat=, which should point the link to WP:UCFD instead if set to yes. Please try it out on your page and let me know if it works. Equazcion •✗/C • 01:08, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- Worked out the kinks. I didn't realize at first just how different CFD and UCFD past discussion links are. Tested at Category talk:Wikipedians interested in history, seems to work now. Equazcion •✗/C • 01:28, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- Cool! It works wonderfully [2]. Thank you very much! --Enric Naval (talk) 01:56, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- No problem :) Equazcion •✗/C • 02:04, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Broken
[edit]Recent changes (October 2015) have broken this template.
|1=
is now no longer recognised correctly, or as described by the docs. This makes the template non-functional for recording category merges, when the target category should be annotated that another category had been the subject of a discussion. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:00, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
- @The Earwig: since you did the merge. — Scott • talk 22:12, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Andy Dingley: Uh, can you give an example of the broken behavior and ping reply to me? Seems fine. — Earwig talk 02:03, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
Not deletion, often discussion
[edit]This template reports that the category was nominated for deletion. Very often it wasn’t, it was nominated for rename or merge. SmokeyJoe (talk) 08:21, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
