This is a documentation subpage for Template:Tfm notice. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template should always be substituted (i.e., use ((subst:Tfm notice))).

If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, move it, or nominate it for deletion, please notify Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy, as the standard installation of Twinkle adds and removes this template. Thank you!

Place this templates for merger (TfM) notice on the talk page of interested parties, such as nominated templates' creators. In the case of popular or significant templates, it may be appropriate to give wide notice.

Copy and paste the following code on user talk pages to inform editors of the discussion:

((subst:Tfmnotice|TemplateName|OtherTemplateName)) ~~~~

• Note: ThisTemplate and OtherTemplateName should be replaced by the templates' names excluding the prefix Template: (or Module:).
• For modules, see below.

If the discussion is listed under another name than TemplateName, for example when nominating several templates under one umbrella nomination, add the name of the TfD section heading:

((subst:Tfm notice|TemplateName|OtherTemplateName|NameOfHeading)) ~~~~

where NameOfHeading is the name of the section heading under which you have listed the template for rename at WP:TFD.

• |module=Module: (or |module=y or any other value) changes the namespace of the pages in question to Module: instead of Template:.
• |days= is the number of days before the current date in which the pages were listed on the log. For example, if the pages were listed yesterday on the log, then |days=1 would be used. If the pages were listed on the log three days before today, then |days=3 would be used. Leave blank if on today's log.
• |heading=no (or any other negative value such as |heading=false, |heading=0) will suppress the creation of a new talk-page heading for this notice. Can also be specified as |header=no.
• |heading=3 or |header=3 will change the default second level (==) heading to a third-level (subsection) heading. This is useful when dropping off a series of such notes if you want to group them under a single main heading. This parameter option is, of course, mutually exclusive with |heading=no.
