Latest comment: 2 years ago by TheSophera in topic Template breaks discussion links for historical files

Can this template be updated to match the behavior of {{Oldafdfull}}? The current template does not point to the actual discussion; only to the page which the discussion is archived. --Aarktica 17:04, 24 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

IFD discussions don't take place on individual subpages, just in big archive pages. If you'll notice, most of the deletion nominations engender no discussion whatsoever, so it's kind of a waste to create so many pages. howcheng {chat} 17:12, 24 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the explanation. --Aarktica 19:37, 24 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Why subst?

The instructions for closing discussions had said to substitute this template. I've merged those instructions to WP:DELPRO#IFD and note that none of the others do, so I'm changing it for now to indicate transclusion.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 21:13, 18 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hmm, I think that those instructions hadn't been updated in a while. I remember some time ago that because images can't be moved, the template didn't require substitution. howcheng {chat} 23:45, 18 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Migration from Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion to Wikipedia:Files for deletion

The present version still refers discussions to a non-existing page Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion/(date) instead of Wikipedia:Files for deletion/(date).—pivovarov (talk) 21:19, 27 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

I've updated this yesterday and it seems to work well - see new and old links. Both end you up at the correct section for Ifd/FfD. Purging the cache on an image page may be required if the change is still in the job queue - Peripitus (Talk) 02:44, 28 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

I saw that the Oldffdfull was missing from File:PRINCESS_YASMIN_AGA_KHAN.jpg which had an iFD in May 2007. Oldffdfull generated a close to correct link for the discussion.

I tried to override the link using |page=Image:PRINCESS_YASMIN_AGA_KHAN.jpg but the generated link had ...#File:Image:PRINCESS_YASMIN_AGA_KHAN.jpg. I'm not concerned about the link for this specific file but am concerned that xFD links for many discussions may be broken. --Marc Kupper|talk 01:31, 16 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Actually this is a slightly different issue, sorry! I'll post it in its own section. --TheSophera (talk) 00:31, 8 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Improve behavior?

Can this template be modified to link to the anchor of the actual discussion? That is:

Wikipedia:Files_for_deletion/2012_November_8#File:Cupid.27s_Span.jpg

instead of

Wikipedia:Files_for_deletion/2012_November_8

These deletion discussion pages are getting, as Paris says, "huuuuge." Oh. I see, the "page =" parameter has to be deleted to force the anchor link to be generated. --Lexein (talk) 12:53, 17 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Template for Multiple FFDs of same file.

I've already asked about this before at Wikipedia talk:Files for discussion/Archive 8#Re-nominations of the same file. but never got a response before it was archived; so, I figured I'd ask here. Can a template be created for files which is similar to {{afdx}}? The reason I'm bringing this up again is because I recently came across another file which is being discussed at Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2018 December 31#File:Venera9.png and it might be helpful in such cases to know whether a file has been previously discussed. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:56, 7 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

I'm having an issue whereby the use of this template on older files is now linking to the wrong place. For example, File talk:Other_Part_of_Play_Board_which_led_to_win_cash_prize_in_a_TV_game_show_by_Larson.jpg uses this template but links to the wrong page:

How should this be fixed?

I apologise. It seems I've posted this on Wikipedia rather than Commons, where I intended to talk about it, but where the issue is already being discussed anyway. Please feel free to ignore this, and I apologise for leaving a mess here. --TheSophera (talk) 00:42, 8 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
