Nominate multiple pages for XfD (bundled AFDs, multi AFD)

[ToThAc]

Hi, I don't seem to be able to tag multiple pages for XFD. Could someone look into that, please? Thanks!

This is obviously a popular request, but are there ways of doing this beside either:

1. Bulk nominating a list à la batchprotect, or
2. Having an option to search for open AfDs and add it there

Were this to happen, the latter seems much more preferable. I'm not sure there's anything else like this elsewhere in Twinkle at the moment? There are a lot of AfDs open at any given time, not to mention the fact that there would have to be significant code differences for the different venues given the myriad formats. This would be very involved.

Some options:

1. Add an option to nominate all pages in a category (good for when the pages have already been sorted into a deletion category).
2. Add an option to add the links for the other pages that are also nominated, like it is done in a merge process (where an extra line is added).
3. Add an option to add an ongoing discussion. This will not add the nominated page to that discussion, but will still add the notice to the current page and to the user's talk page.

These options would greatly help speed up the process of manually having to go page by page.

Merging #1813 into this ticket:

support for bundled AFDs. WP:BUNDLE. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion#How_to_nominate_multiple_related_pages_for_deletion

I don't think there's any user scripts/gadgets that do this yet. And the manual process can be error-prone and require AWB runs to place all the {{Articles for deletion/dated}} templates. Might be worth allowing up to 10 AFDs or something as a trial run, and if that goes well, increase the limit.
