Deletion

This should be deleted. Isn't this the same as Users on Wikibreak and Users Partially Active? --Osbus 01:43, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, what's the point of this? Gflor e s^Talk 05:42, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm putting this up for Tfd.--Osbus 14:53, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't "vacation" an American term anyway? Elsewhere in the world, "holiday" is the term used. And, "wikibreak" is universal. --Aude (talk | contribs) 15:29, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I didn't think of that, but that adds to why this template should be deleted. --Osbus 15:37, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On the other hand, I noticed the template on your user page. Maybe some people want to give more of a reason why they are on Wikibreak. On Wikipedia:Wikiholiday there are a few different templates. Maybe there should be one for people on "holiday" or "vacation" - regardless of the term preferred. --Aude (talk | contribs) 15:40, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've standardized this template with the other wikibreak templates. Seeing the other variations, I see no reason why we can't have this one. --Aude (talk | contribs) 15:49, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

TfD nomination of Template:Awayuser

Template:Awayuser has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thank you.

Optional parameter

I've changed the wording to just "vacation" - which is a default parameter that can be changed to something else (e.g. "holiday):

{{Awayuser|holiday}}

Which changes the message to "This user is currently on holiday from Wikipedia."
