Usage

Despite the appearance, this template is not nominated for deletion.

To use this template,

1. Add {{rfd|en|short reason here}} ("en" for English, replace with the appropriate language code) to the page source as appropriate.
2. Start the discussion on to Project:Requests for deletion/English, Project:Requests for deletion/Non-English, or Project:Requests for deletion/Others as appropriate by clicking the (+) link.

The title of the deletion discussion should be left as the wikified, blue linked page name, which is automatically provided for you. The output is as follows:

Parameters

|1=

The language code of the term needing cleanup. See Project:List of languages. Use und if a single language doesn't apply, e.g. in templates, categories and appendices.

|2=

An optional comment to be displayed in the request message.

|fragment=, |section=

An optional URL section to link to.

|sort=

The sort key for the page; rarely needs to be specified.

|nocat=1

Disable categorization of this page.

|topic=

If given, add this page to Category:Entries needing topical attention and (eventually, manually) to the list at Project:Entries needing topical attention. Also add the specified param value to a CSS span id contained in the title.

This template adds the page to the following categories (where LANG is the language whose code is specified using |1=):

• Category:Requests for deletion in LANG entries (if in the main, Citations, Transwiki or Reconstruction namespaces)
• Category:Requests for cleanup/Others (if in any other namespaces)
• Category:Entries needing topical attention (if |topic= is given)
• Category:rfd with topic (if |topic= is given; applies to all namespaces)
