Template:Discussion top/doc

&#x3c;!-- EDIT TEMPLATE DOCUMENTATION BELOW THIS LINE --&#x3e;

The and  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 below the header containing the discussion, then place  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!'''

Example
&#x3c;syntaxhighlight lang="moin"&#x3e;

Header
I suggest that we make a template to note completed discussions. Example (talk) 13:05, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * How about calling it discussion top and discussion bottom? Jimbo Wales (talk) 06:44, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

&#x3c;/syntaxhighlight&#x3e;

Would produce:
