Template talk:Now commons dated

Initals
What does Ncd stand for? Thanks, Drum guy (talk) 15:38, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I can guess the now and commons, but it'd be good to put the full name in the documentation to help people remember the name, or what the template means when they see it in a page. Many thanks, Drum guy (talk) 23:44, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Now Commons Dated. Because it adds the timestamp to nowcommons. Similar naming system for nsd (No Source Dated), nld (No License Dated), among others. Rocket000 (talk) 08:57, 20 June 2008 (UTC)


 * That's great, thanks :)

 * If an admin feels like adding the documentation: changing Template:Ncd to:
 * scroll
 * scroll


 * and creating Template:Ncd/doc as:
 * {{Pre2|scroll| {{Documentation subpage}}

Usage
Ncd stands for now commons dated. It tags media that are now available on Wikimedia Commons.

Subst
Use  or.

Is this subst really necessary? It just makes usage more complex for most people. Also, links and info in the template can change.

See: Substitution. Here is the template Now commons dated in action without substitution:



Can someone please remove the requirement that this template be substituted. I do not know how to fix the problem, so I placed editprotected in this talk section.

Now commons may be a better template to use. Is there any reason why 2 templates are needed?

Also, see this concerning substitution:

I am trying to simplify moving files to the Commons. See:
 * Category:Copy to Wikimedia Commons
 * commons:Category:Moving files to the Commons --Timeshifter (talk) 17:09, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I believe this template needs to be substituted in order for the date to become attached as a parameter to the template. If it were transcluded, the date would constantly be changing to the current date. In effect this template is just a wrapper for now commons. &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:30, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the explanation. --Timeshifter (talk) 22:27, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

This template is unnecessary and problematic
I think this template is unnecessary. A date serves little purpose. The template name is hard to remember, and substitution just makes it a non-starter for most editors.

now commons is simple. It is what most people use. See also: Template talk:Not moved to Commons. --Timeshifter (talk) 22:19, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Merged to Template:Now Commons
I've merged this template to Template:Now Commons per Templates for discussion/Log/2019 March 19. Please start any future discussions at Template talk:Now Commons. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 05:45, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
