About[edit]

This is a gadget intended to streamline the process of closing a CfD discussion.

For the moment, it can only:

  • Format the discussion page for closure, adding the header, footer, and your closing comment.

For more information on closing category discussions, see COM:CFD.

Future Work[edit]

  • Allow user to specify categories to affect
  • Automatically extract default categories to affect from the discussion page
  • Remove the CfD notice template from the target categories
  • Add archive notifications to the target category talk pages

To Enable[edit]

Add the following lines of code to "User:YOURNAME/common.js", creating the page if it doesn't exist:

importScript('User:BMacZero/AjaxCfdClose.js');

This will add a button to the "Tools" section of the left bar called "Close category discussion" (only if you are viewing a CfD subpage, not a by-month page), which opens the wizard. You might need to clear your browser's cache to see it (Ctrl+F5).
