How to list a redirect for discussion
To list a redirect for discussion, follow this two-step process:
| I.
|
Flag the redirect.
Enter ((rfd)) above the #REDIRECT on the redirect page you are listing for discussion. Example:
- ((rfd))
- #REDIRECT [[Foo]]
- Please do not mark the edit as minor (m).
- Please include in the edit summary the phrase:
Nominated for RFD: see [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion]]
- Save the page.
|
| II.
|
List the entry on RfD.
Click here to edit the section of RfD for today's entries.
- Enter this text below the date heading:
- ((subst:rfd2|redirect=RedirectName|target=TargetArticle|text=The action you would like to occur (deletion, re-targeting, etc.) and the rationale for that action.)) ~~~~
- For the template in the previous step:
- Put the redirect's name in place of "RedirectName", put the target article's name in place of "TargetArticle", and include a reason after text=.
- Note that, for this step, the "target article" is the current target of the redirect (if you have a suggestion for a better target, include this in the text that you insert after text=).
- Please use an edit summary such as:
Nominating [[RedirectName]]
replacing RedirectName with the name of the redirect you are nominating.
- To list multiple related redirects for discussion, use the following syntax:
- ((subst:rfd2|redirect=RedirectName1|target=TargetArticle1))
- ((subst:rfd2m|redirect=RedirectName2|target=TargetArticle2))
- .
- .
- .
- ((subst:rfd2m|redirect=RedirectNameN|target=TargetArticleN|text=The actions you would like to occur (deletion, re-targeting, etc.) and the rationale for those actions.)) ~~~~
|
- Please consider using What links here to locate other redirects that may be related to the one you are nominating. After going to the redirect target page and selecting "What links here" in the toolbox on the left side of your computer screen, select both "Hide transclusions" and "Hide links" filters to display the redirects to the redirect target page.
- It is generally considered civil to notify the good-faith creator and any main contributors of the redirect that you are nominating the redirect. To find the main contributors, look in the page history of the redirect. For convenience, the template
((subst:RFDNote|RedirectName)) ~~~~
may be placed on the creator/main contributors' user talk page to provide notice of the discussion. Please replace RedirectName with the name of the redirect and use an edit summary such as:
Notice of redirect discussion at [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion]]
