Umbrella

Purpose

Used similar to {{vfd2}} to simplify the listing on WP:CFD of a category with {{Cfr}}. See how to use this page for overall instructions..

Discussion

It is requested that an edit be made to the template-protected template at Template:Cfr2.
(edit · history · last · links · transclusion count · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, so that an editor unfamiliar with the subject matter could complete the requested edit immediately.

Edit requests to template-protected pages should only be used for edits that are either uncontroversial or supported by consensus. If the proposed edit might be controversial, discuss it on the protected page's talk page before using this template. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request. When the request has been completed or denied, please add the |answered=yes parameter to deactivate the template.

  1. In Template:Cfr2(edit talk links history) this 'Template:Text(edit talk links history)' is mysterious. Given this, I'm not sure what *{{{text|NEED REASON.}}} is doing or asking. Harumph!
  2. In any event, since it's ignoring my 3rd perameter, I suggest this be coded to do whatever it's supposed to want and or override by taking a third perameter.
  3. So I'm not confident enough to ensure getting this in one go, so asked you here with the editprotect modify so {{subst:cfr2|Categories for deletion|Category:Categories for discussion|Match Main Article Page, and avoid confusion}} will assert {{{3|{{{text|NEED REASON}}} }}} or whatever will work first time. Template:I(I think this has a chance... but, for once I'm not being bold.

    Usage

    • Example: {{Cfr| CatOldName | CatNewName|text="Put your reason(s) here."}}
    Notes
    1. CatOldName and CatNewName DO NOT take ':Category' or 'Category' in the name, just use the {{PAGENAME}} form without the namespace prefix.
    2. "text=" must be lowercase
      1. Do not use quotes in your text reasons. The equals sign is enough to delimit your reasons.
      2. Several reasons can be tacked out and seperated on different lines using '<br>', '{{I}}' or '{{I2}}' but the text reason cannot contain any newline characters. The closing '}}' will delimit the end of your text.
    3. Sign after the closing '}}' pair, or continue under with an amplified comment then sign.
