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, either by removing the tag or using WP:REFUND.
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
- Vertical format
- Copy&Paste the following text, then fill in the appropriate parameters:
{{Old prod full | nom = | nomdate = {{SUBST:ISO date}} | nomreason = | 2nd = | 2nddate = {{SUBST:ISO date}} | 2ndreason = | con = | condate = {{SUBST:ISO date}} | conreason = }}
This will produce the default:
There are three types of editors (TLA
), each with two optional parameters:
nom
is the editor who initiated the PROD.2nd
is the editor who seconded the PROD.con
is the editor who contested the PROD.
There are two optional parameters for each editor:
TLAdate
is the appropriate date in ISO 8601 format, e.g.,YYYY-MM-DD
.
(Note that {{ISO date}} will supply the current date.)TLAreason
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.
Examples
Using just the editor parameters:
{{Old prod full | nom= MBisanz | 2nd= 72.75.72.63 | con= Callelinea }}
Using some of the parameters:
{{Old prod full | nomreason= Part of a batch of articles with [[WP:COI/N]] issues | 2nd= 72.75.72.63 | 2nddate= 2008-02-03 | con= Callelinea | conreason= Added reference and external link … will edit later }}
Using all of the parameters (notice that the order does not matter):
{{Old prod full | nom= MBisanz | 2nd= 72.75.72.63 | con= Callelinea | nomdate= 2008-02-03 | 2nddate= 2008-02-03 | condate= 2008-02-03 | nomreason= Part of a batch of articles with [[WP:COI/N]] issues | 2ndreason= See [[Category talk:Cuban contemporary artists/Checklist]] | conreason= Added reference and external link … will edit later }}
