| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Discussion top. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
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 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!
