Usage

This template should not be substituted.

{{Old TfD|date=|result=}}

e.g. {{Old TfD|date=2026 June 19|result=keep}}

and an optional code 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}}

Where the section was a general title, not a template name, use |disc= (a.k.a. |discuss=, |talk=)

{{Old TfD|date =2026 June 19|result=keep|disc=Language templates}}

For merger proposals:

• Use |merge=target which changes "deletion" to "merging with target".
• If more than one, use the free-form addon parameters |more_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=self to just output "merging" without specifying template names.

There is also a |cat=yes parameter that 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.

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.
