Template:Template for rename
![]() | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Template for rename}} ). |
This template, which has a shortcut of {{TfR}}
, is just a template for rename (TfR) wrapper for the {{Template for discussion}}
({{TfD}}
) template, which is otherwise for deletions.
Usually, templates are renamed (moved) through same Wikipedia:Requested moves (WP:RM) process as other pages, so {{subst:Rm}}
is the template normally used. However, sometimes some template renames are proposed as part of a broader spate of template cleanup that also involves deletions and/or mergers, in which case it makes more sense to include the renames with the related deletions/moves at WP:TFD, to centralize the discussion.
Usage
All this template does is set |action=renaming
, optionally pass a |otherpage=
value, and pass through any other parameters supported by {{TfD}}
. This changes its output to indicate that the template has been nominated to be renamed, rather than deleted, and to suggest leaving the nominated template's authors a {{TfR notice}}
instead of a {{TfD notice}}
.
{{subst:TfR|otherpage=Template:NewNameYouPropose}}
Other parameters are supported:
{{subst:TfR|otherpage=Template:NewNameYouPropose|type=inline|heading=The TfD heading name here}}
See Template:Template for discussion/doc for full documentation of the parameters.
