Template:Old prod full/doc

When to use
This template documents the facts that:
 * a) an article has previously been tagged for a proposed deletion, as well as
 * b) the PROD may have been seconded by Some Other Editor, as well as
 * c) the PROD may have been contested by Some Other Editor.

In other words, it is for documenting active (seconded) PRODs as well as those that have been contested.

This template also populates Category:Past Proposed Deletion Candidates.

Ideally, it would be added by a bot (e.g., by scanning Category:Endorsed proposed deletions), but as a courtesy, the nominator, the second , or (ideally) the contester  should add it manually.

If you contest a PROD, then you should notify the nominator by placing a Deprod on their Talk page.

There are three types of editors, each with two optional parameters:
 * 1)  is the editor who initiated the PROD.
 * 2)  is the editor who seconded the PROD.
 * 3)  is the editor who contested the PROD.

There are two optional parameters for each editor:
 * 1)  is the appropriate date in ISO 8601 format, e.g.,  . (Note that CurrentYYYYMMDD will supply the current date.)
 * 2)  is the text they provided (perhaps copied from the Edit summary).

This template will automagically generate appropriate output based on the parameters supplied, e.g., only the editors.
