Single nomination listing

[edit]

{{subst:Ffd2|Foo bar.jpg|uploader=Example User|reason=Orphaned, unencyclopedic.}} ~~~~

File:Foo bar.jpg

Orphaned, unencyclopedic. ~~~~

Multiple nomination listing

[edit]

{{subst:Ffd2|Foo bar.jpg|header=Several foo bar files|uploader=Example User}}

{{subst:Ffd2|Foo bar2.jpg|multi=yes|uploader=Example User}}

{{subst:Ffd2|Foo bar3.jpg|multi=yes|uploader=Example User|reason=Orphaned, unencyclopedic.}} ~~~~

Several foo bar files

Orphaned, unencyclopedic. ~~~~

The code above will output a list of three files. For two files, omit the second line; for more than three files, repeat the second line as many times as is necessary.

When combining multiple files in this manner, the value put into the |header= parameter in the {{Ffd2}} template will be the name used for the section header. If this is not possible, you must go back and change the section header after saving the page.

(Note: The |header= parameter has to always be used for the first entry in grouped nominations, as well as the value in |header= not be the same as first file's name in the nomination: This is a technical requirement due to how AnomieBOT handles closing discussions.)

The purpose of the |multi= parameter is to hide the section header from all entries after the first entry in a grouped nomination. The |reason= should only be used in the final listed nomination's {{Ffd2}} template to display the rationale under the final listed entry.
