Place thistemplate for rename (TfR) notice on the talk page of interested parties, such as the nominated template's creator. In the case of a popular or significant template, it may be appropriate to give wide notice.
Usually, templates are renamed (moved) through sameWikipedia:Requested moves (WP:RM) process as other pages, so{{subst:Rm}} is the template normally used. However, sometimes some template renames are proposed as part of a broader spate of template cleanup that also involves deletions and/or mergers, in which case it makes more sense to include the renames with the related deletions/moves atWP:TFD, to centralize the discussion.
Copy and paste the following code on user talk pages to inform editors of the discussion:
{{subst:Tfr notice|CurrentTemplateName|NewTemplateName}}~~~~}}
Template: (orModule:).Most template rename discussions are viaWP:RM process, and take place at the template's (or module's) talk page.This is the default. The template will tell people to see the talk page, and will create a link to an RM discussion on the talk page with today's date, unless it has to be backdated with the|days= parameter, or completely overridden with|3= AKA|talk= or|discuss=.
If the discussion is atWP:TFD, then use|tfd=y to set this, and it will instead generate a link to today's TfD log, at a section named for the template being moved (CurrentTemplateName in the example above), unless overriden one of those same two ways.
|1= or 1st unnamed parameters is therequired template/module proposed for renaming; just the base pagename without "Template:" or "Module:".|2= or 2nd unnamed parameter is therequired new name proposed for the template/module; just the base pagename without "Template:" or "Module:".|3= or 3rd unnamed parameter or|discuss= or|talk= is the optional custom name of the discussion section to link to; this is the part of the link after the# character.{{subst:Rm|...|heading=Something custom here}}.|tfd=y is set is "Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/YYYYMonthnameD[D]#CurrentTemplateName; the underlined part is what this parameter can change. This is of use in the case of a group TfD with a genericized title like "Various geographical coordinate templates".|days=, below.|heading=, below.|days= is the number of daysbefore the current date in which the pagenames were listed atWP:RM orthe TfD log. For example, if the page was listed yesterday on the log, then|days=1 would be used. If the page was listed on the log three days before today, then|days=3 would be used. Leave blank if listed the same day as you are leaving this notice.|tfd=y mode; however,|3= AKA|discuss= or|talk= will make this parameter do nothing if used in RM mode, since the date is part of the #Link that gets replaced. Both parameters do work in tfd mode.|tfd=yes (or|tfd=y or any other value) changes the template fromWP:RM behavior toWP:TFD behavior, as described above (this mostly affects the link to the discussion).|module=Module: (or|module=y or any other value) changes the namespace of the pagenames in question toModule: instead ofTemplate:.|heading=no (or any other negative value such as|heading=false,|heading=0) will suppress the creation of a new talk-page heading for this notice. Can also be specified as|header=no.|heading=3 or|header=3 will change the default second level (==) heading to a third-level (subsection) heading. This is useful when dropping off a series of such notes if you want to group them under a single main heading. This parameter option is, of course, mutually exclusive with|heading=no.|3=, above.{{subst:Tfd notice}} – the parallel template for deletion notices{{subst:Tfm notice}} – the parallel template for merger notices{{subst:Tfr2}} – second step in a TfR process (use atWP:TFD)
