duplicating the same template for old user category discussions
editI 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- Cool! It works wonderfully [2]. Thank you very much! --Enric Naval (talk) 01:56, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- No problem :) Equazcion •✗/C • 02:04, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Broken
editRecent 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. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:00, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
- @The Earwig: since you did the merge. — Scott • talk 22:12, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
- @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)
Not deletion, often discussion
editThis 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)
