Template:Template for rename/doc

This template, which has a shortcut of, is just a template for rename (TfR) wrapper for the  template, which is otherwise for deletions.

Usually, templates are renamed (moved) through same Requested moves (WP:RM) process as other pages, so is the template normally used. However, sometimes some template renames are proposed as part of a broader spate of template cleanup that also involves deletions and/or mergers, in which case it makes more sense to include the renames with the related deletions/moves at WP:TFD, to centralize the discussion.

Usage
All this template does is set renaming, optionally pass a otherpage value, and pass through any other parameters supported by. This changes its output to indicate that the template has been nominated to be renamed, rather than deleted, and to suggest leaving the nominated template's authors a instead of a.

Other parameters are supported:

See Template:Template for discussion/doc for full documentation of the parameters.
