Policy link
[edit]{{editprotected}}
The link to the policy can be updated to Wikipedia:Categories for Discussion policies for simplicity and to avoid unnecessary redirects, as well as to avoid disconcerting people who may notice that "discussion" links to "deletion". - Fayenatic london (talk) 17:50, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

- Oppose CSD. See also WT:CFD. - jc37 04:46, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
- I've disabled the edit-protected request for speedy deletion as it seems beyond its scope, and there is a distinct lack of consensus. The template is still widely linked from policy pages for example. Please get some consensus. -- zzuuzz (talk) 22:17, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

"Please do not empty the category"
[edit]I feel like that message in the template is very one-sided. It allows people to mass-add pages to a category while it's at CfM, but not to mass-delete them. This doesn't seem right. Either the "don't empty the category" language needs to be dropped, or there needs to be language in this template discouraging mass-adding to a category in the midst of a CfM. pbp 18:00, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
Move discussion in progress
[edit]There is a move discussion in progress on Template talk:Cfd which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 00:14, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Please copy all /sandbox code into this template. The change is: write comment "BEGIN/END CFM TEMPLATE", not "... CFD ...". This is rather cricuiial, since the subst:-requirement should add a correct background reference. DePiep (talk) 11:07, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

- @DePiep: please explain more fully the reason for your request. It has been reverted since it was interfering with removal of the template if the nominated page was not deleted, see User_talk:JJMC89#Removing_CFD_template. – Fayenatic London 07:00, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
- Replied there. -DePiep (talk) 11:14, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
