Adding content[edit]

This page needs {{TestTemplatesNotice}} for helpful reasons. What do you think?--Gh87 07:00, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you are suggesting a similar help box, I don't think it's really necessary as it's described at Wikipedia:Deletion process and anyone closing delete debates should be familiar with that page or shouldn't be doing it. However, it doesn't hurt anything so I don't object. If you are suggesting adding that particular notice, then that would be incorrect as it's instructions are wrong for this template. -- JLaTondre 14:21, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Are the XfDs debates or discussions?[edit]

I haven't seen any true debates in AfD, RfD, CfD, TfD, or MfD, but I've seen many discussions. It seems more appropriate to modify the top boilerplate to say "The result of the discussion is" instead of the current wording. 147.70.242.40 (talk) 20:43, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

{{editsemiprotected}} I was the one who made the proposal above three months ago, with no apparent opposition here since. Since the RfD process involves a discussion and not a debate, will someone kindly change the "debate" in the boilerplate top to "discussion"? It makes much more sense this way. Thank you. 147.70.242.54 (talk) 21:46, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hide closed discussion from log[edit]

In a sandbox I've created a version of this template that only shows outcome of the discussion on pages where the discussions are transcluded, including WP:RFD. The actual discussion is at WT:RFD#Hide closed discussions from transcluded pages. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 09:43, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
