Dcbox top/doc

This meta-template is used to generate a box to envelop and set apart closed/archived discussions on a talk page or noticeboard.

It should not be used directly on pages by itself. One of the pre-existing derivative templates should be used. If there is no suitable derivative already, a new one can be created.

Usage

Two templates—a top and a bottom—are required to make this templating function. The top template should be placed at the beginning of the discussion just below section header and the bottom template at the end of the discussion.

Top

{{Dcbox top}} can be used to show several pieces of formatted information. All parameters are optional.

{{dcbox top
| class = <Additional css class names>
| status = <Indicating the status of the discussion>
| result = <Summary of the conclusions reached by the discussion>
| reminder = <Reminder message that the discussion is closed and should not be modified>
}}

Bottom

{{Dcbox bottom}} can be used to show a reminder message at the bottom of the discussion. Otherwise, just use </div> to close the dcbox.

{{dcbox bottom
| reminder = <Reminder message that the discussion is closed and should not be modified>
}}
