__TOC__
This script does not function in [[Internet Explorer]].  Please upgrade to a modern, secure, standards-conforming browser, such as [[Firefox]] or [[Opera (web browser)|Opera]].  You'll be glad you did.

==Installation==
This should be copied verbatim into [[Special:Mypage/monobook.js|monobook.js]].  If you are not using the Monobook skin, you'll need to replace the add_link() function and install the script elsewhere; [[#For alternate skins|see below]] for details.

==Usage==
You must allow popups for this script to work.  Additionally, the determination of the correct daily subpage to use depends on your computer's time being correctly set.

This script adds a "vfd" tab when editing pages.  Clicking on it will insert the [[Template:Vfd|vfd header]] into the article currently being edited and set the edit summary to "vfd".

It will also pop up two windows to complete the vfd process: today's vfd daily subpage (for example, [[Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Log/{{CURRENTYEAR}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}]]), and a subpage of vfd for the specific article (for example, [[Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/autovfd.js]]).

The daily subpage will be automatically edited to transclude the article's subpage (<nowiki>{{Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/autovfd.js}}</nowiki>) with a summary linking to it (<nowiki>[[Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/autovfd.js]]</nowiki>).  You should save this edit first to reduce the likelihood of an [[m:Help:edit conflict|edit conflict]].

The article's specific subpage will be automatically edited as below.  (You should, of course, change "Reason for nomination" to your actual reason for nominating the article for deletion.)
<pre><nowiki>===[[User:Korath/autovfd.js]]===
Reason for nomination. ~~~~
*
*
*</nowiki></pre>
If there is already text at the article's subpage, you'll instead get a warning saying that you'll have to file the vfd by hand, following the instructions at [[Template:VfDFooter]].

For all three edits&mdash;the article, the daily vfd subpage, and the article's vfd subpage&mdash;you must click on the "Save page" button yourself.  This is intentional.

==For alternate skins==
===Classic===
For the Classic skin, the script should be installed in [[Special:Mypage/standard.js|standard.js]].

To place the link in the page header, replace add_link() with:
 function add_link(url, name)
 {
   var na = document.createElement('a');
   na.setAttribute('href', url);
   na.appendChild(document.createTextNode(name));
 
   var td = document.getElementById('topbar').getElementsByTagName('table')[0].
     getElementsByTagName('td')[1].getElementsByTagName('p')[0];
 
   if (td.hasChildNodes())
     td.appendChild(document.createTextNode(' | '));
   td.appendChild(na);
 }

To place the link in the quickbar, replace add_link() with:
 function add_link(url, name)
 {
   var na = document.createElement('a');
   na.setAttribute('href', url);
   na.appendChild(document.createTextNode(name));
 
   var qb = document.getElementById('quickbar');
   qb.appendChild(na);
 }

===Cologne Blue===
For the Cologne Blue skin, the script should be installed in [[Special:Mypage/cologneblue.js|cologneblue.js]].

''(To be written, once someone indicates that he actually uses this, and where the link should appear.)''

===Nostalgia===
For the Nostalgia skin, the script should be installed in [[Special:Mypage/nostalgia.js|nostalgia.js]].

''(To be written, once someone indicates that he actually uses this, and where the link should appear.)''
