This template is used to close a Request for comment (RfC) 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 refactoring. It should not be used by involved parties to end a 'Request for discussion' over the objections of other editors.

Usage

Place the {{rfc top}} template below the header containing the discussion, then place {{rfc bottom}} at the end of the discussion.

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

It is important to use the redirects {{rfc top}}/{{rfc bottom}} since if the direct transclusions {{rfc top}}/{{rfc bottom}} are used, Legobot (talk⧼dot-separator⧽contribs) can interpret them as open RfCs, making edits like these with this result.

Parameter

This template employs just a single parameter, used for describing the result of the discussion.

Examples

== RfC header ==
{{rfc top|1=The result of this discussion was that there appears to be a clear consensus in '''support''' of the proposal... [[User:Example|Example]] ([[User talk:Example|talk]])}}
I suggest that we make a template to close completed RfC discussions. {{User|Example2}}
* I think it should be called ''Rfc top'' and ''Rfc bottom''! -{{User|Example3}}
{{rfc bottom}}

Would produce: Template:Rfc top I suggest that we make a template to close completed RfC discussions. Example2 (talk⧼dot-separator⧽contribs)
