Usage

{{Old CfD
| section = section name
| date    = YYYY Month Day
| action  = e.g. deletion, merging
| result  = e.g. keep, delete, no consensus
}}

All parameters are optional except |date=.

|section=: the name of the discussion section on the CFD page. Default is the name of the category itself.
|date=: the date on which the discussion started. If it was February 7, 2006, the parameter would look like |date=2006 February 7.
|action=: what the nominator suggested. Default is "deletion". Having this parameter equal to "deletion", "merging", or "renaming" will provide a relevant wikilink.
|result=: outcome of the discussion. Default is keep. Do not bold this parameter by surrounding it with triple quotes; the template already does this.

Examples

{{Old CfD|section=Category:Humor|date=2008 October 7}}

This category was nominated for deletion on 2008 October 7. The result of the discussion was keep.

{{Old CfD|section=Category:Computing|date=2014 August 14|action=merging|result=merge}}

This category was nominated for merging on 2014 August 14. The result of the discussion was merge.

{{Old CfD|section=Category:Blackouts|date=2010 August 20|action=renaming|result=rename}}

This category was nominated for renaming on 2010 August 20. The result of the discussion was rename.

Legacy functionality

Some functionality is present in the template for legacy reasons. It's deprecated, so you shouldn't have to worry about it in most situations.

|name= specifies the title (header) of the discussion to link to; available as an alternative to using |section= or the unnamed parameter.
|usercat=: as WP:UCFD has now been merged back into WP:CFD, this parameter is deprecated and should not be used.
|date= formerly suggested the format |date=YYYY|Month|Day, which was changed due to being non-standard.
