ਫਰਮਾ:Closed/doc

This template is used to close discussions. In formal community processes like proposed deletions and copyright discussions this is normally done once consensus is determined. In other cases it may be because a discussion has outlived its usefulness, either because the issue being discussed has been resolved or because the discussion is no longer constructive. In uncontroversial cases it can be used by any user, but typically it will be used by admins.

In any case, once the template has been applied it should generally not be removed because this messes with history etc. If the closing of the discussion is contested for whatever reason it is almost always better to open a new discussion and reference the closed discussion.

The template will automatically detect if the discussion is archived to a standard archive and adapt its message accordingly.

NB! This template does not trigger archiving. You have to also use the {{section resolved}} template for that.

Usage

Place the opening part of the template pair on its own line above the discussion to be closed (but inside the same section, so immediately after the section heading), and the closing part of the template pair immediately after its end.

{{closed/s}} Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. {{closed/e}}

The following discussion is closed and will soon be archived. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

For formal discussions the result can be documented with |result=:

{{closed/s|result=Deleted because of reasons.}} Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. {{closed/e}}

The following discussion is closed and will soon be archived: Deleted because of reasons. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

If the box should be expanded by default for some reason (should almost never be used) you can use |uncollapsed=:

{{closed/s|uncollapsed=yes}} Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. {{closed/e}}

The following discussion is closed and will soon be archived. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

The template also has a single-template variant, but it is generally not recommended because longer stretches of wikitext are very likely to contain special characters that causes MediaWiki's template argument parsing to get confused.

{{closed|result=Deleted because of reasons.|uncollapsed=yes|text= Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. }}
