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

This template is used on approximately 14,000 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.

Shortcut

{{dtop}}

The {{Discussion top}} and {{Discussion bottom}} templates are used to close discussions on a talk page or a noticeboard.

When used on a talk page, these templates should only be used by uninvolved editors or administrators in conjunction with the talk page guidelines and relevant advice at Misplaced Pages:Refactoring. They should not be used by involved parties to end a discussion over the objections of other editors.

Usage

Place {{Discussion top}} below the header containing the discussion, then place {{Discussion bottom}} at the end of the discussion. A summary of the conclusions reached may be included as a parameter in the former.

Again: Place them below the header. Do not include the header, it will break archiving bots!

Example
