Can this template be updated to match the behavior of {{ Oldafdfull}}? The current template does not point to the actual discussion; only to the page which the discussion is archived. -- Aarktica 17:04, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
The instructions for closing discussions had said to substitute this template. I've merged those instructions to WP:DELPRO#IFD and note that none of the others do, so I'm changing it for now to indicate transclusion.-- Doug.( talk • contribs) 21:13, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
The present version still refers discussions to a non-existing page Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion/(date)
instead of Wikipedia:Files for deletion/(date)

I saw that the Oldffdfull was missing from File:PRINCESS_YASMIN_AGA_KHAN.jpg which had an iFD in May 2007. Oldffdfull generated a close to correct link for the discussion.
I tried to override the link using |page=Image:PRINCESS_YASMIN_AGA_KHAN.jpg but the generated link had ...#File:Image:PRINCESS_YASMIN_AGA_KHAN.jpg. I'm not concerned about the link for this specific file but am concerned that xFD links for many discussions may be broken. -- Marc Kupper| talk 01:31, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
This is still an issue for some images. For example, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File_talk:Other_Part_of_Play_Board_which_led_to_win_cash_prize_in_a_TV_game_show_by_Larson.jpg uses this template but links to the wrong page:
How should this be fixed?

Can this template be modified to link to the anchor of the actual discussion? That is:
instead of
These deletion discussion pages are getting, as Paris says, "huuuuge." Oh. I see, the "page =" parameter has to be deleted to force the anchor link to be generated. -- Lexein ( talk) 12:53, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
I've already asked about this before at Wikipedia talk:Files for discussion/Archive 8#Re-nominations of the same file. but never got a response before it was archived; so, I figured I'd ask here. Can a template be created for files which is similar to {{ afdx}}? The reason I'm bringing this up again is because I recently came across another file which is being discussed at Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2018 December 31#File:Venera9.png and it might be helpful in such cases to know whether a file has been previously discussed. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 04:56, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
I'm having an issue whereby the use of this template on older files is now linking to the wrong place. For example, File talk:Other_Part_of_Play_Board_which_led_to_win_cash_prize_in_a_TV_game_show_by_Larson.jpg uses this template but links to the wrong page:
How should this be fixed?
