Please copy Module:Old XfD multi/sandbox to Module:Old XfD multi. The changes add support for a deletion parameter, which replaces the word deletion in the top line of the box. Danski454 (talk) 00:55, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

Proposal
I believe that the template wiki link should be changed from "This template was previously nominated for deletion. The result of the discussion was keep." to "This template was previously nominated for deletion. The result of the discussion was keep." The phrase, 'nominated for deletion' refers closer to the process than simply 'deletion'. 'deletion' has ambiguity, because it could link to the XfD discussion or the actual process. This change wouldn't inhibit usability and would increase clarity. (See also MOS:LINKCLARITY, MOS:EASTEREGG) — Mcguy15  (talk, contribs) 12:22, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Added edit request template, unsure if this change would be controversial. If it is, please feel free to remove the edit request and discuss. — Mcguy15  (talk, contribs) 17:00, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

For the specific description: X to Y Line 368: 'This %s was nominated for deletion or considered for merging.', to 'This %s was nominated for deletion or considered for merging.', Line 375, 380, 386 from 'This %s was previously nominated for deletion.', to 'This %s was previously nominated for deletion.',

 * I would expect a link saying "nominated for deletion" to lead me to a deletion discussion, not to Deletion policy. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 07:33, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
 * . I'm with Tamzin here. If the link contained "nominated", I'd expect it to lead to the nomination, while I would expect just "deletion" to lead to a page on deletion in general. As such, I've declined the edit request. If you gain consensus for this change, you can open another one. Tol  (talk &#124; contribs) @ 01:30, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't personally have that implication, but I certainly agree with you, and I've realized the proposed version is not clear enough. I still think the original is unclear, though, since "deletion" could be the policy or the discussion, so I'd like to try to change it. Any better ideas? — Mcguy15  (talk, contribs) 03:10, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Add a little bit of something
I am not an expert on Lua, but I would like to request adding the words "multiple times." after "This was nominated for deletion". Toadette ( Let's discuss together! ) 11:45, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Use Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace
I've occasionally seen this put on articles rather than their talk pages. It could be worth it to use talk other to automatically put the page in when that happens. jlwoodwa (talk) 18:07, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
