 | This template should not be substituted. |

This header template is placed on talk pages of templates and modules to link to previous relevant TfD discussions.
Usage
{{Old TfD|date=|result=}}
e.g.
{{Old TfD|date=2024 May 5|result=keep}}
Parameters
|date=and|result=- Mandatory parameters.
|1=- Optional parameter for non-default pagename, suitable if the page has been moved since the deletion debate, or if it was nominated under the name of another template in a multiple nomination:
{{Old TfD|date=|result=|Template:pagename}} |disc=a.k.a.|discuss=,|talk=- Customize the discussion section's title. Default is template full page name. Example:
{{Old TfD|date =2024 May 5|result=keep|disc=Language templates}}. |merge=target
For merger proposals. Changes "deletion" to "merging with target".
|more_merge=- To add additional wikitext to
|merge=. E.g.|more_merge=and [[target2]], and [[target2]]— linking and punctuation needs to be added manually in this parameter (which begins immediately after the value of|merge=with a space character between it and the value of|more_merge=). If the merge targets all share the same talk page, you can use the special value|merge=selfto just output "merging" without specifying template names. |cat=yes- Changes "This template was..." to "This category was...", for use on talk pages of template-populated categories that were subject to deletion discussion at WP:TFD instead of WP:CFD.
Old TfD naming scheme
For templates that survived a TfD debate before 4 January 2006, use |link=Not deleted/MONTHNAME YEAR to modify the link to point to the relevant deletion discussion.
