I am not sure where to make this request, and figured that this was as good a place as any. What I would like to do is make [[:Category:Articles to be merged after an Articles for deletion discussion]] sortable or organised by date of deletion discussion. Then I can just come in occasionally and merge the old articles, allowing other editors who are probably more familiar with the topics a chance to merge the more recent ones. I did attempt it myself at one point[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3AAfd-merge_to&type=revision&diff=716706753&oldid=647781360], but not only did it not work I screwed up AnomieBOT[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:AnomieBOT#Extra_dates_added_to_Afd-merge]. Pinging {{U|John of Reading}} and {{u|Anomie}} from that discussion. Thanks in advance.

:The underlying module is [[Module:Message box]], and I see that it can handle sort keys for categories. You'd need to set a sortkey - for example a date in the format CCYY-MM-DD - in the {{tlx|afd-merge-to}} template, pass that through {{tlx|ambox}} and so on. Unfortunately, it's not at all clear from [[Module:Message box]] what the parameter name is. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 09:14, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
