Template:Old prod full

Template documentation

When to use

This template documents the facts that:

a) an article has previously been tagged for a proposed deletion, as well as

b) the PROD may have been seconded by Some Other Editor, as well as

c) the PROD may have been contested by Some Other Editor.

In other words, it is for documenting active (seconded) PRODs as well as those that have been contested.

This template also populates Category:Past proposed deletion candidates.

Ideally, it would be added by a bot (e.g., by scanning Category:Endorsed proposed deletions), but as a courtesy, the nominator (nom), the second (2nd), or (ideally) the contester (con) should add it manually.

If you contest a PROD, then you should notify the nominator by placing a {{Deprod}} on their Talk page.

Usage

Vertical format

Copy&Paste the following text, then fill in the appropriate parameters:

{{Old prod full
| nom       = 
| nomdate   = {{subst:CurrentYYYYMMDD}}
| nomreason = 
| 2nd       = 
| 2nddate   = {{subst:CurrentYYYYMMDD}}
| 2ndreason = 
| con       = 
| condate   = {{subst:CurrentYYYYMMDD}}
| conreason = 
}}

This will produce the default:

There are three types of editors (TLA), each with two optional parameters:

1. nom is the editor who initiated the PROD.
2. 2nd is the editor who seconded the PROD.
3. con is the editor who contested the PROD.

There are two optional parameters for each editor:

1. TLAdate is the appropriate date in ISO 8601 format, e.g., YYYY-MM-DD.
   (Note that {{CurrentYYYYMMDD}} will supply the current date.)
2. TLAreason is the text they provided (perhaps copied from the Edit summary).

This template will automagically generate appropriate output based on the parameters supplied, e.g., only the editors.

Examples

Using just the editor parameters:

{{Old prod full
| nom= MBisanz 
| 2nd= 72.75.72.63 
| con= Callelinea 
}}

---

Using some of the parameters:

{{Old prod full
| nomreason= Part of a batch of articles with [[WP:COI/N]] issues
| 2nd=       72.75.72.63 
| 2nddate=   2008-02-03
| con=       Callelinea 
| conreason= Added reference and external link … will edit later
}}

---

Using all of the parameters (notice that the order does not matter):

{{Old prod full
| nom=       MBisanz 
| 2nd=       72.75.72.63 
| con=       Callelinea 
| nomdate=   {{subst:CurrentYYYYMMDD}}
| 2nddate=   {{subst:CurrentYYYYMMDD}}
| condate=   {{subst:CurrentYYYYMMDD}}
| nomreason= Part of a batch of articles with [[WP:COI/N]] issues
| 2ndreason= See [[Category talk:Cuban contemporary artists/Checklist]]
| conreason= Added reference and external link … will edit later
}}
