[edit] CFD

[edit] Practice
- A keep or no consensus close.
- Close CFD like this. Note that the "cfd top" goes just below the section title rather than above it.
- For each nominated category, remove the CFD stuff from the category page.
- For each nominated category, add a cfdend tag to the category talk page, looks like this. The cfdend template is a bit of a nightmare. {{cfdend|the name of the section at CFD only if it isn't the same as the category name|date=2007 Never 12|result=no consensus/merge this isn't needed for keep as that's the default}}.
- A delete close where you don't empty the category yourself.
- A delete close where you do empty the category yourself or where it is already empty.
Merge is just same as delete, only it goes in the Merge/Rename section like this. When/if empty, it goes in the Ready to delete section. If you have a look through my recent edits to CFD/W, categories and category talk, there should be examples of every sort of close in there.
