Template:Hidden archive top/doc

This is the template.

Usage
This template is placed at the top of a discussion (and at the bottom), and is used to close a discussion and discourage further editing without removing it completely from the page.

The reason for closing can be changed with the reason parameter which defaults to "This discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it." Be sure to sign the closure statement. If the default statement is to be left, you may use the closer parameter to indicate which user closed the discussion.

Examples
This is the default template without any additional parameters.

This example uses the reason parameter to replace the default text in the header.

Alternatively, you can use the 2 parameter to change the default subtext inside the template instead of changing the default text in the header.

This example uses the closer parameter to sign the template without changing the default text of the header.
