Template:Old prod full/doc

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.

Although it can be used for documenting active (seconded) PRODs, it will generally be added only after a PROD has been contested and removed.

This template populates Category:Past proposed deletion candidates.

Ideally, the contester should add it manually to the talk page. This is a courtesy, and also a handy record of the rationales given by the proposer, seconder (if any) and contester.

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

Usage

This will produce the default:

There are three types of editors, each with two optional parameters:
 * 1)  is the editor who initiated the PROD.
 * 2)  is the editor who seconded the PROD.
 * 3)  is the editor who contested the PROD.

There are two optional parameters for each editor:
 * 1)  is the appropriate date in ISO 8601 format, e.g.,  . (Note that ISO8601 will supply the current date.)
 * 2)  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.
