Template: Tfd-inline/doc

This is the template documentation page for {{Tfd-inline/doc}}. It is not necessarily intended to be viewed directly. If it uses variables, some links may appear broken. Do not replace these variables with hardcoded page names or URLs. |
This template is used to nominate inline templates for deletion. Templates which include this template, will be added to Category:Templates for deletion.
Usage
{{ tfd-inline|TemplateName|Nomination }}
- TemplateName: Name of the template being nominated for deletion. Do not include the Template: prefix.
- Nomination (optional): If this template is nominated together with other templates in a group nomination, set this parameter to the section title, including the Template: prefix if there is one.
This is a variant of {{tfd}}. It should be used to tag TfD candidates that appear inline or in an infobox. See Category:Inline templates for some examples.
Example
For example, suppose that a template called {{raisins}} outputs the link "dried grapes." Here's how it might appear in an article:
If the standard {{tfd}} tag were to be inserted into the template, the following would result:
Obviously, it's impossible for the reader to identify the deletion candidate.
Using {{tfd-inline|raisins|fruit templates}} instead generates the following result:
- Among her favorite fruits were apples, avocados, bananas, ‹The template raisins is being considered for deletion.› dried grapes, oranges, peaches and pears.
As you can see, the downside is a greater degree of interference with the article's text, so the decision of which tag to use should be made on a case-by-case basis. If the insertion of either template is deemed too detrimental to a large number of articles, it might be advisable to place the notice on the template's talk page instead.
