The main template depends on various subtemplates. One of the most important subtemplates is Last Afd, which returns the level number of the last Afd nomination level for a given article. 'Last Afd' has its own testcases pages, but here is one example:
Expecting: level 4 (meaning, that this article has been nominated four times for deletion, but not yet a 5th time):
Disclaimer: this is still in test, and should be used with caution until verified.
This is a step-by-step summary of how to nominate a single page, ArticleName,[a][b] for deletion, using the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion procedure.
The instructions below are generalized and require additional work from you to find the NominationName and other items to be used below. If you would like to have these instructions tailored specifically for the article you are nominating, you can view them in a new section in your sandbox by clicking this link.
Place the deletion tag on the article.Place the deletion tag on the article:
First, log in; you won't be able to complete the process if you don't. IP users are unable to use this process.
Insert {{subst:afd1}} (no parameters) at the top of the article you wish to nominate for deletion.
Include in the edit summary: AfD: Nominated for deletion; see [[NominationName]].[c]
Look for a series of templates, with the 'Add new entries' hidden comment, and place your entry there:
<!-- Add new entries to the TOP of the following list --> {{subst:afd3 |pg=NominationName}} <!-- YOUR ENTRY HERE --> {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Underground basket-weaving}} {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/History of Outer Slobovia}} {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bar coaster flipping}}
use edit summary: Listing [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NominationName]], and save the page.
This lets log viewers know what projects were notified, and prevents duplicate effort.
Explanatory notes
^ArticleName: anyplace you see italics in the instructions, you need to substitute the appropriate text. For example, if you want to delete the article "Underground basket-weaving", then wherever you see ArticleName you should instead substitute "Underground basket-weaving". But see the boxed instructions at the top for a better way.
^Nomination name: The first time a page is nominated for deletion, the NominationName is the same as ArticleName. After that, it takes on a parenthetical suffix to disambiguate it from previous nominations. The second time an article is nominated, it may be called, "ArticleName (2nd nomination)", and so on.
^Substitute the article name you're nominating for deletion. If this article was nominated for deletion before, then use, "ArticleName (2nd nomination)" instead, "ArticleName (3rd nomination)" and so on; here, and everywhere else where NominationName appears in the instructions. But note that there's a much easier way to do this by clicking the link in the boxed material at the top of these instructions.
^Deletion logs have the filename format [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/yyyy Month dd]]. The day is not zero-padded; so the log filename on New Year's Day is "...January 1" (not, "January 01").
^The last time you loaded/refreshed this page, the time was 16:37 (UTC). If the UTC day could have changed since then, you may wish to refresh the page to ensure you are pointing to the correct log.
^The page creator can be found in the Page Statistics tool, or by examining the page History, scrolling to the bottom of the page, and clicking the 'oldest' link if there is one.
^The main editors of the page can be found by going to the Page Statistics tool and clicking 'Top editors'.
^Which WikiProjects should you notify? The ones listed (usually) at the top of the Talk page of the article.
^The deletion log has today's date on it, and rolls over to the next day at midnight UTC; be sure to use the same log as you did before in step 3.

Look for a series of templates, with the 'Add new entries' hidden comment, and place your entry there:
<!-- Add new entries to the TOP of the following list --> {{subst:afd3 |pg=NominationName}} <!-- YOUR ENTRY HERE --> {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Underground basket-weaving}} {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/History of Outer Slobovia}} {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bar coaster flipping}}
use edit summary: Listing [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ashida Kim]], and save the page.
This lets log viewers know what projects were notified, and prevents duplicate effort.
Explanatory notes
^Deletion logs have the filename format [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/yyyy Month dd]]. The day is not zero-padded; so the log filename on New Year's Day is "...January 1" (not, "January 01").
^The last time you previewed/saved this page, the time was 16:37 (UTC). If the UTC day could have changed since then, you may wish to preview again or refresh the page to ensure you are pointing to the correct log.
^The page creator can be found in the Page Statistics tool, or by examining the page History, scrolling to the bottom of the page, and clicking the 'oldest' link if there is one.
^The main editors of the page can be found by going to the Page Statistics tool and clicking 'Top editors'.
^Which WikiProjects should you notify? The ones listed (usually) at the top of the Talk page of the article, i.e., Talk:Ashida Kim.
^The deletion log has today's date on it, and rolls over to the next day at midnight UTC; be sure to use the same log as you did before in step 3.
