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)[reply]

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)[reply]
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)[reply]
Cool! It works wonderfully [2]. Thank you very much! --Enric Naval (talk) 01:56, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No problem :) Equazcion /C 02:04, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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.

@The Earwig: since you did the merge.  — Scott talk 22:12, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@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)[reply]

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)[reply]
