Template:Afdx/doc

This template will categorise articles into Category:Articles for deletion. This template is a self-reference and so is part of the TechInfoDepot project rather than the encyclopedic content.

This template should always be substituted onto pages it appears on, because it requires that the variable be substituted. (This is so that the link to the AFD discussion does not break when the page is renamed during AFD discussions.) If the template is not substituted, a warning message is shown instead.

This template results in 3 lines of wikitext that make use of AfDM. This template is intended for renominating articles that have already been nominated for deletion before. For nominating articles for the first time, use the afd template instead.

Usage
For TechInfoDepot:Proposed deletion use. WP:PROD takes load off WP:AFD and should always be used instead if reasonable.

3rd 4th

This template will place a notice that the page has been nominated for deletion. It should be placed at the top of the page and substituted.

Equivalent results can also be achieved using the normal afd template, at the cost of some extra typing. Specifically, the three examples above produce the exact same results as:

PAGENAME (2nd nomination) PAGENAME (3rd nomination) PAGENAME (4th nomination)

Where  is the title of the page the template is being placed on.
