Template:Cfd_main_page_banner
When nominating a category on WP:CFD, add this template to the main article's talk page to notify users of the category's nomination.
Usage
On the talk page add:
{subst:Cfd main page banner|category name|date=yyyy Month dd}
If the CfD section name is different from the category name (e.g. when nominating several categories at once), add this:
{subst:Cfd main page banner|category name|date=yyyy Month dd|CfD section name}
Example:
{subst:Cfd main page banner|Example category|date=2025 February 19}
will produce:
Also will add the article to Category:Categories for discussion notices.
You can be more specific (which helps reduce some editors' feeling of alarm, if it's just a rename or merge!) by using one of the following:
|type=renaming|type=merging|type=deletion
Template wrappers {cfrnotice} and {cfmnotice} do this for you automatically.
You can also specify the target of a rename or merge (just the category name without the "Category:" part (this can't handle complex cases like a three-way merge):
|type=renaming,|target=New category name|type=merging,|target=Redundant category name
{cfrnotice} and {cfmnotice} will also pass this parameter, and have mnemonic |to= and |with= aliases for them, respectively:
{subst:cfrnotice|Foo|target=bar}{subst:cfrnotice|Foo|to=bar}{subst:cfmnotice|Foo|target=bar}{subst:cfmnotice|Foo|with=bar}
