User:Evad37/TFDcloser
 | This script has been superseded by XFDcloser. Please use that script instead. This documentation is retained primarily for historical interest. |
This script, TFDcloser (source), makes it easy to close TFD discussions.
- See the talk page for development and testing discussions. Anyone using this relatively new (July 2016) script should monitor their contributions and actions carefully, and report any unexpected occurrences. - Evad37 [talk] 11:26, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
Installation[edit]
To install the script, add:
importScript('User:Evad37/TFDcloser.js'); // [[User:Evad37/TFDcloser]]
Usage[edit]
Closing options[edit]
TFDcloser adds the following one-click close options to TFD entries:
- [keep/other]
- Use for: Keep, or other close that will result in the template(s) being kept (e.g. Redirect, No Consensus)
- Details: Prompts for result & rationale; closes discussion using that result & rationale (and {{NAC}} if non-admin); adds {{Old TfD}} to template talkpage; removes {{Template for discussion/dated}} or {{Tfm/dated}} from template
- [qK] (QuickKeep)
- Use for: Keep, when no further rationale is required
- Details: Same as [keep/other], but instead of prompting, just uses "Keep" as the result/rationale
- [delete/other]
- Use for: Delete, or other close that will result in the template(s) being deleted (e.g. Review, Convert, Substitute)
- Details (admins): Prompts for result & rationale; closes discussion using that result & rationale; prompts for which holding cell section to use, or "delete now";
- If a holding cell section is selected: adds {{tfdl}} to that holding cell section, and replaces {{Template for discussion/dated}} or {{Tfm/dated}} with {Being deleted} (<noinclude>'d);
- If "delete now" selected: performs delete action, using a link to the TFD discussion as the reason
- Details (non-admins): Prompts for result & rationale; closes discussion using that result, rationale, and {{NAC}}; prompts for which holding cell section to use; adds {{tfdl}} to that holding cell section; replaces {{Template for discussion/dated}} or {{Tfm/dated}} with {{Being deleted}} (<noinclude>'d)
- [qD] (QuickDelete)
- Use for: Delete, when no further rationale is required
- Details: Same as [delete/other], but instead of prompting, just uses "Delete" as the result/rationale. Will still prompt for a holding cell section or (if admin) "delete now"
- [relist]
- Details: Prompts for optional relist comment; relists discussion on current day's TFD subpage; closes original discussion as "Relist" (and removes the old discussion); updates {{Template for discussion/dated}} or {{Tfm/dated}} on template
- [other close]
- Use for: Closes which require different actions for one or more of the templates listed at the discussion (e.g. Merge, Delete some but keep others)
- Details: Prompts for result & rationale; closes discussion using that result/rationale; opens each template so that further manual action can be undertaken.
Or, if the script can't identify any templates, just one option:
- [Close]
- Prompts for closing comment, and closes the discussion with that comment, but takes no further action.
Hide/Show closed sections[edit]
An option to hide or show already closed sections, making it easer to find uncooked sections. Appears near the Move link, in the More dropdown menu.
Notes[edit]
- Entering the result "soft delete" will automatically be expanded to "soft delete. WP:REFUND applies."
- If holding cell section "Ready for deletion" is selected, the template(s) will have {{db-xfd}} added instead of {{Being deleted}}
