Template documentation

[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This is the {{hidden archive top}} template.

Usage

This template is placed at the top of a discussion (and {{hidden archive bottom}} 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.

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