Template:Discussion top/doc

This subpage provides documentation for Template:Discussion top.

This template is used to close/archive discussions on a talk page. Generally, it should be inserted only by administrators or impartial editors once a conclusion to the discussion has been reached.

Usage

Place {{discussion top}} at the beginning of the discussion just below section header and place {{discussion bottom}} at the end of the discussion.

A summary of the conclusions reached may be included using the {{{result}}} parameter.

Example

==Header==
{{discussion top|result=Summary of conclusions reached...}}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Pellentesque adipiscing sagittis libero in vestibulum. Maecenas semper turpis velit, vel rutrum eros accumsan nec.
{{discussion bottom}}

The templating above would yield:

Closed

Summary of conclusions reached...
