Template:Resolved/doc

Purpose
A "resolved" tag may be added to a talk page to give a visual hint that the issue below it no longer requires attention.

This template is to show an item on a talk page has been resolved and there is no dispute in anyone's mind about the outcome. That is, the initial comment or request has been filled, a reply to that effect has been added, and there are no disputed items or issues left to be resolved, and (if required) the article (or other page type) has been updated.

The "resolved" tag is not final and does not close a conversation. If new issues arise, or the item is not fully resolved, please remove the tag. Thus, the tag also helps clarify situations that might otherwise be ignored because a user mistakenly thought the issue was resolved.

This tag can be (and is) also used in admin processes to note that an action item reported to a notice board has been dealt with, and can further be of help on user talk pages to sort messages for archival from those to be retained for continued discussion or follow-up action.

Usage
Place the following under the topic heading on a talk page:

To replace the text "Resolved" with a custom message:

This parameter can also be specified with 2, or with an unnamed second parameter:

Example
Here is example discussion: ====Chelonia==== Chelonia currently redirects to Turtle, but Chelonia is the monotypic genus containing the Green Sea Turtle.
