To use this template correctly, please follow the instructions for nominating an article for deletion or merging at AfD.
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
To use this template correctly, please follow the instructions for nominating an article for deletion or merging at AfD. {{Current event AFD}} can be used for appropriate articles as an alternative with a more specific message designed to prevent unnecessary alarm among readers.
{{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. )
