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
refactoring
. It should not be used by involved parties to end a 'Request for discussion' over the objections of other editors.
Usage
Place the {{closed rfc top}} template below the header containing the discussion, then place {{ at the end of the discussion.
closed rfc bottom}}
Again: Place it below the header. Do not include the header, it will break archiving bots!
It is important to use the direct transclusions {{closed rfc top}}/{{closed rfc bottom}} since if the redirects .
{{rfc top}}/{{rfc bottom}} are used, Legobot (talk · 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 ==
{{closed 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}}
{{closed rfc bottom}}
Would produce:
