Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]
WarningThis template is used on approximately 149,000 pages.
To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.
CSSThis template uses TemplateStyles:
  • Template:AFD help/styles.css (sandbox)

Usage

[Hide this box] New to Articles for deletion (AfD)? Read these primers!

  • How to contribute
  • Introduction to deletion process
  • Guide to deletion (glossary)
  • Help, my article got nominated for deletion!

The AFD help box (as you see on the right) is automatically shown on all AfD pages (starting June 2018) to give primer links so newcomers can get around the Articles for Deletion process more easily.

Technically, the help box is transcluded on the AFD page when {{Afd2}} is substituted. In the standard AFD template, the box is <noinclude>d, so it will only show on individual AFD discussion pages, not the daily pages.

Hiding the box

If you do not wish to see the AFD help box on AFD pages, you can permanently hide it by adding .rootpage-Wikipedia_Articles_for_deletion .afd-help { display: none !important; } to your Special:Mypage/common.css, available for logged-in users. You may need to create the page if you don't already use a custom .css page. You will need to bypass your browser's cache for the changes to take effect.

Editors can experiment in this template's sandbox (edit | diff) and testcases (edit) pages.
