Template documentation

[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used to close discussions on a talk page or a noticeboard.

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 Wikipedia:Refactoring talk pages. It should not be used by involved parties to end a discussion over the objections of other editors.

Usage

{{Archive top|status=|result=}}

Place the {{Archive top}} 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 three optional parameters, used for creating a floating box for discussion results:

• status: resolved, withdrawn, moved, none, or any short custom phrase. A brief header (uppercased) to indicate the status of the discussion. Another name for this parameter is "head".
• result: the result of the discussion. Another name for this parameter is "body".
• bg: the background color for the discussion box. Accepts any valid HTML color name or hex triplet. Default is EDEAFF.

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