Template:Archive top/doc

This template is used to close discussions 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 talk page guidelines and relevant advice at WikiDevi:Refactoring talk pages. It should not be used by involved parties to end a discussion over the objections of other editors.

Usage
Place the Archive top template below the header containing the discussion, then place Archive bottom at the end of the discussion.

Do not include main section headers: including main headers will disrupt archiving bots.

Parameters
This template takes two optional parameters, used for creating a floating box for discussion results: These parameters are passed through to Template:Quote box to create the result box.
 * result - the result of the discussion. Another name for this parameter is "body".
 * status - resolved/withdrawn/moved/none, or any short phrase. A brief header (uppercased) to indicate the status of the discussion. Another name for this parameter is "head".
