Template:Proposed deletion notify/doc

This template is intended to be used on user talk pages to warn contributors to affected articles that their article has been proposed for deletion using Wikipedia:Proposed deletion. You're encouraged to modify the template as appropriate for unique circumstances.

Usage

{{subst:Proposed deletion notify|Article title|concern=reason for proposed deletion}}

Parameters

• Provide the name of the article as the first unnamed parameter. This is the only required parameter. It will be automatically wiki-linked.
• concern=message: You can provide a reason for the proposed deletion. If one is not specified, the template will attempt to auto-detect the reason based on the PROD tag on the page. It will automatically be bolded and indented.
• nowelcome=yes: Suppresses {{First article}} on empty pages (see below).
• nothanks=yes: Suppresses "Thank you" message when {{First article}} is used.

New users

This template incorporates {{First article if new}}. As result, if you use {{Proposed deletion notify}} on a talk page that does not yet exist (i.e., new user), a {{First article}} message will be inserted before the Proposed deletion notify notice itself. You can provide a nowelcome=yes parameter to {{Proposed deletion notify}} to suppress this behavior. This template also accepts the nothanks=yes parameter, and passes it to {{First article if new}}.
