Parameters
[edit]- Provide the name of the article as the first unnamed parameter. This is the only required parameter. It will be automatically wiki-linked.
concern=message: You can provide a reason for the proposed deletion. If one is not specified, the template will attempt to auto-detect the reason based on the PROD tag on the page. It will automatically be bolded and indented.nowelcome=yes: Suppresses{{First article}}on empty pages (see below).nothanks=yes: Suppresses "Thank you" message when{{First article}}is used.
New users
[edit]This template incorporates {{First article if new}}. As a result, if you use
{{Proposed deletion notify}} on a talk page that does not yet exist (i.e., new user), a {{First article}} message will be inserted before the Proposed deletion notify notice itself. You can provide a nowelcome=yes parameter to {{Proposed deletion notify}} to suppress this behavior. This template also accepts the nothanks=yes parameter, and passes it to {{First article if new}}.
