Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used on approximately 4,500 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template is used to close proposals on a talk page or a noticeboard that were successful.

When used on a talk page this template should only be used by uninvolved editors or administrators in conjunction with the talk page guidelines and relevant advice at refactoring. It should not be used by involved parties to end a discussion over the objections of other editors.

Usage

((Archive top green|status=|result=))

Place the ((Archive top green)) template below the header containing the discussion, then place ((Archive bottom)) at the end of the discussion.

Do not include main section headers: including main headers will disrupt archiving bots.

Parameters

This template takes two optional parameters, used for creating a floating box for discussion results:

status - resolved/withdrawn/moved/none, or any short phrase. A brief header (uppercased) to indicate the status of the discussion.
result - the result of the discussion. Generally speaking, this template should only be used if the result is successful.

These parameters are passed through to template:Quote box to create the result box.
