This parameter restricts the article alerts to selected workflows. For example, workflows=PROD will display only articles nominated for proposed deletion. See Wikipedia:Article alerts/Subscribing#Choosing which workflows to subscribe for for allowed values. The default value is workflows=ALL. The values can also be combined in a comma-separated list. This will include alerts for the union of workflows specified. Values preceded by "!" will be excluded rather than included. The list is processed from the left to the right.
This parameter allows for transcluding discussion pages, e.g. AfD discussions, into the article alerts page. Each discussion will be displayed in a collapsible section. Supported values:
Note that trancluding discussions is supported only for some workflows. Also, transcluded discussions are incompatible with the "display=columns" option. CategorizationThis template populates Category:ArticleAlertbot subscriptions. Notes
