Template talk:Oldffdfull

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?[edit]

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[edit]

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]

Discussion links to wrong place[edit]

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?[edit]

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.[edit]

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]

Template breaks discussion links for historical files[edit]

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?

--TheSophera (talk) 00:33, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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]
