| 40px | This is a documentation subpage for Template:DR case status. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Usage
This template is a general-purpose template for the dispute resolution noticeboard, to make it easier for participants and volunteers to see the status of a dispute. Unless you are acting as a volunteer in resolving a dispute or are competent to archive or otherwise manage the record of disputes, you should probably not place or modify this template.
The template takes only one parameter, which is optional. Details are given below.
{{DR case status|''status''}}
For those statuses which indicate commentary, there is no additional parameter to add this specifically. "Commentary" refers to the content of the existing discussion.
When a parameter is placed as shown above, it will display the following:
| Parameter | Returns | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| none | 20px – New discussion. |
If the parameter is empty it will default to this tag; this is the case status automatically assigned to a new case when it is filed by an editor but before being taken up by a volunteer or being "closed" as a malformed or premature request (see below) |
| active, open or inprogress | 20px – Discussion in progress. |
Once a volunteer has begun the task of discussing the content of the case with the involved editors, the case status template at the top of the discussion should be modified to one of these in order to assist other volunteers in assessing which discussions still need to be formally opened |
| needassist, relist or relisted | 20px – New discussion. |
This case status may be assigned if a volunteer decides he/ she would like additional assistance with a given case; if a volunteer finds him/ herself over his/her head in a discussion or feels one or more involved editors is being disruptive, the case status may be changed to this |
| review | 20px – This request has been open for some time and must be reviewed. |
This is used to mark an older conversation still awaiting the attention of a volunteer to formally open the discussion |
| resolve or resolved | 20px Dispute resolved successfully. See comments for reasoning. |
If the involved editors come to some kind of agreement or the filing party appears to abandon the conversation, the case should be marked as resolved |
| fail or failed | 20px – Closed as failed. See comments for reasoning. |
If the involved editors are unable to come to an agreement after a volunteer has opened the case, the volunteer may decide that dispute resolution has not worked and may mark the case as "failed"; This will clear the way for the filing party to seek formal mediation |
| hold | 20px – This request has been placed on hold. |
Once a volunteer has formally opened a case, it is possible that the volunteer or one of the involved parties may need to place a temporary hold on a discussion for one or more days (perhaps while traveling or completing exams); a "hold" may be placed to let others know that the discussion is not over, but that no further comments should be added until the case is returned to "active" |
| close | 20px – General close. See comments for reasoning. |
If a filing party generates a malformed request or if a volunteer looks at a case and decides it does not meet the case prerequisites for some technical reason, the case may be marked as "closed"; this effectively terminates the discussion unless it is refiled (appropriately) |
stale and inactive are deprecated parameter per Wikipedia talk:Dispute resolution noticeboard/Archive 17#DRN_Case Status Template updating now mapping to needassist, and should not be used on active cases.
