'''XFDcloser''' ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-XFDcloser-core.js|source]]) is a [[RetroWikipedia:Gadget|gadget]] to close [[RetroWikipedia:Deletion process#Deletion discussion venues|XfD discussions]] at multiple venues. Feedback, including [[software bug|bug]] reports and feature suggestions, can be given [[RetroWikipedia talk:XFDcloser|on the talk page]].

==Installation==
To install the gadget, visit [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets|Special:Preferences § Gadgets]], scroll down to "Maintenance and administration", tick XFDcloser, and save the page.

If you previously installed the userscript version (or one of its redirects listed here), you should uninstall it:
*{{userscript|name=User:Czar/closexfd.js |code=User:Czar/closexfd.js |doc=User:Czar/closexfd.js |noref=yes}}
*{{userscript|name=User:Evad37/XFDcloser.js |code=User:Evad37/XFDcloser.js |doc=User:Evad37/XFDcloser.js |noref=yes}}
*{{userscript|name=User:Evad37/XFDcloser/v3.js |code=User:Evad37/XFDcloser/v3.js |doc=User:Evad37/XFDcloser/v3.js |noref=yes}}
*{{userscript|name=User:Mr.Z-man/closeAFD.js |code=User:Mr.Z-man/closeAFD.js |doc=User:Mr.Z-man/closeAFD.js |noref=yes}}

Remove the line
<pre><nowiki>
importScript('User:Evad37/XFDcloser.js'); // [[User:Evad37/XFDcloser]]
</nowiki></pre>
or 
<pre><nowiki>
importScript('User:Mr.Z-man/closeAFD.js');
</nowiki></pre>
from [[Special:MyPage/common.js]] {{small|1=(or skin-specific js such as [[Special:MyPage/vector.js|vector.js]], [[Special:MyPage/monobook.js|monobook.js]], etc)}}

Note that the gadget is not available unless you are [[RetroWikipedia:EXTENDEDCONFIRMED|extended confirmed]].

== Features ==
In addition to closing or relisting discussions, XFDcloser can undertake actions to implement a close:
{{div col|colwidth=40em}}
* Add old XfD templates to talk pages
** Will collapse multiple banners into a single {{tl|Old AfD multi}} banner
* Remove nomination templates from nominated pages (when the pages are kept)
* Replace nomination templates with merge template, add merge tag to target's talk page (AfD, MfD)
* Delete nominated pages (when the result is delete)
** Also delete the talk pages
* List templates at the [[RetroWikipedia:Templates for discussion/Holding cell|holding cell]], in specified section (TfD)
** Replace nomination template with {{tl|Being deleted}}
** or if "Ready for deletion", apply speedy deletion tags to the template ([[WP:G6|G6]]) and its talk page ([[WP:G8|G8]])
* Delete redirects
** Also delete redirects' talk pages
* Unlink backlinks (AfD, FfD)
* Redirect, or delete and then redirect, nominated pages
** Apply specified [[WP:RCAT|rcats]]
** Unlink circular links from redirect target
{{div col end}}
When there is more than one page nominated, multiple results (i.e. "keep some, delete others") can be specified, with appropriate actions applied to each page.

== Usage ==
XFDcloser adds closing/relisting links after the headings of each discussion, for the following XfD venues: [[WP:AFD|AfD]], [[WP:CFD|CfD]], [[WP:FFD|FfD]], [[WP:MFD|MfD]], [[WP:RFD|RfD]], [[WP:TFD|TfD]]

[[File:XFDC v3 log page.png|thumb|center|800px|Part of an XfD log page with the script installed]]

===Close===
Click on the '''[close]''' link to bring up a dialogue box, where you can select various options, and type out a rationale.
[[File:XFDC v3 close dialog.png|thumb|center|800px|Closing discussion dialogue box, which is drag-able and resize-able. The exact options available depend on the XfD venue, the selected result, and whether you are an administrator.]]

====Multiple results====
To specify results individually for each page in a multiple-nomination XfD, choose the '''Multiple results...''' button.
[[File:XFDC v3 multiple results dialog.png|thumb|center|800px|Multiple results version of the dialogue box.]]

====QuickClose====
Clicking on the '''[quickClose]''' link brings up two links, '''qk''' and '''qD'''. These are shortcuts that bypass the form, to quickly close the discussion as keep or delete (respectively), with no further rationale, and with default options.
[[File:XFDC v3 quickClose.png|thumb|center|800px|After clicking on [quickClose], the qk and qD links are revealed, along with an (x) to cancel]]

===Relist===
Click on the [relist] link to bring up a dialogue box, where you can optionally type out a rationale.

===Unlinking backlinks===
For AfD and FfD discussions, there is an option to unlink backlinks (including file usage). For links within list items, it is sometimes more appropriate to remove the list item rather than unlinking it, depending on the list's [[WP:LSC|selection criteria]]. In such cases, the script will ask whether to keep the unlinked item, keep it and request a citation (add {{tlx|citation needed}}), or remove it:
[[File:XFDcloser Review unlinked list item.png|thumb|center|500px|Popup to review an unlinked list item]]

===Hide/Show closed sections===
An option to hide or show already closed sections, making it easer to find unclosed sections. Appears in a small yellow box in the bottom-right corner of the screen. When you change states, this will be remembered (if [[localStorage]] usage is available/allowed by your browser)
[[File:Xfdcloser example hide closed.png|thumb|center|266px|Click the yellow box in the bottom-right corner of the screen to toggle hiding/showing of closed discussions]]

===Discussion age detection===
XFDcloser detects how long a discussion has been listed for, and if it has been relisted. Closers will be warned if it has been less than 7 full days since the discussion was listed, or since it was last relisted. This information is also, by default, displayed using background colours for the closing/relisting links:
*Green if older than 7 days
*Orange if less than 7 days since last relist
*Red if less than 7 days since initial listing
*Yellow if age could not be detected
These styles can be adjusted by editing your [[Special:MyPage/common.css|common.css]] (or skin-specific) CSS page, as the script applies the following classes to heading elements:
*one of {{code|xfdc-old}}, {{code|xfdc-notOld}}, or {{code|xfdc-unknownAge}},
*and {{code|xfdc-relisted}} if the discussion has been relisted.
Here are some example code of alternative styles you can use:
{{cot|Expand background colour to entire heading}}
<syntaxhighlight lang="css">
.xfdc-old { background-color:#c6ffc6 }
.xfdc-notOld { background-color:#ffc6c6 }
.xfdc-unknownAge { background-color:#ffffc6 }
.xfdc-notOld.xfdc-relisted { background-color:#ffe9c6 }
</syntaxhighlight>
{{cob}}
{{cot|Remove background colours}}
<syntaxhighlight lang="css">
.xfdc-notOld .xfdc-action, 
.xfdc-old .xfdc-action,
.xfdc-unknownAge .xfdc-action,
.xfdc-relisted.xfdc-notOld .xfdc-action {
	background: inherit !important;
}
</syntaxhighlight>
{{cob}}
{{cot|Add text descriptions after closing/relisting links}}
<syntaxhighlight lang="css">
.xfdc-old .xfdc-status:after { content: "More than 7 days old"; color: #14866d; }
.xfdc-notOld .xfdc-status:after { content: "Less than 7 days old"; color: #b32424; }
.xfdc-notOld.xfdc-relisted .xfdc-status:after { content: "Less than 7 days since last relist"; color: #a05518; }
.xfdc-unknownAge .xfdc-status:after { content: "Unable to detect discussion age"; color: #fc3; }

.xfdc-status:after {
	font-size: 92%;
	margin-left: 13px;
}
</syntaxhighlight>
{{cob}}

===Notes===
* Non-admin users will automatically have their closes marked with "<small>[[RetroWikipedia:NACD|(non-admin closure)]]</small>".
* Non-admins are not offered deletion options, except for TfD's which get listed at the TfD holding cell.
* Entering the result "soft delete" will automatically add an explanation and [[WP:REFUND|request for undeletion]] link to the additional rationale box, using [[RetroWikipedia:XFDcloser/Soft deletion rationale]].
* For TfD: If the holding cell section "Ready for deletion" is selected, the template(s) will have {{tl|db-xfd}} added instead of {{tl|being deleted}}.
* For RfD: If the discussion is closed to any result that changes the redirect(s), '''all of the existing [[RetroWikipedia:Categorizing redirects|categories and categorization templates]] will be removed'''. It is advised to verify each redirect after the RfD is closed, and restore any applicable categories and categorization templates on the redirect(s).
