Template:Example has been listed for discussion, which may result in the template being merged or deleted by consensus. Readers of this page are invited to comment on the proposed action at the nomination on the Templates for discussion page.
 | This template should always be substituted – use {{subst:Tfd notice}}. Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot. |
 | Any breaking changes to this template, including moving it or nominating it for deletion, must be communicated in advance to Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle. The standard installation of Twinkle relies on this template. |
Place this template for discussion (TfD) notice on the talk page of interested parties, such as nominated template's creator. In the case of a popular or significant template, it may be appropriate to give wide notice.
Usage
Copy and paste the following code on user talk pages to inform editors of the discussion:
{{subst:Tfd notice|TemplateName}} ~~~~
- Note: TemplateName should be replaced by the template's name excluding the prefix
Template:(orModule:). - For modules, see below.
If the discussion is listed under another name than TemplateName, for example when nominating several templates under one umbrella nomination, add the name of the TfD heading:
{{subst:Tfd notice|TemplateName|NameOfHeading}} ~~~~
where NameOfHeading is the name of the section heading under which you have listed the templates for merging at WP:TFD.
Additional parameters
|module=Module:(or|module=yor any other value) changes the namespace of the page in questionModule:instead ofTemplate:.|days=is the number of days before the current date in which the page was listed on the log. For example, if the page was listed yesterday on the log, then|days=1would be used. If the page was listed on the log three days before today, then|days=3would be used. Leave blank if on today's log.|heading=no(or any other negative value such as|heading=false,|heading=0) will suppress the creation of a new talk-page heading for this notice. Can also be specified as|header=no.|heading=3or|header=3will change the default second level (==) heading to a third-level (subsection) heading. This is useful when dropping off a series of such notes if you want to group them under a single main heading. This parameter option is, of course, mutually exclusive with|heading=no.|dependency=yeswill add a blurb "a dependency of this page", which is useful when notifying talk pages of templates and modules using the nominated template or module.
