Template:Rfd top/doc

Purpose

Use this template set to close discussions at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion (Rfd). Rfd top has one parameter and does not populate a category. The parameter name "result" may be used if the contents of the parameter contains an equal sign (=).

This template must be used in conjunction with Template:Tl as described below. The templates wrap a closed discussion inside an orange box. When the daily log page is transcluded, the entire closed discussion is hidden and a link to the discussion is displayed instead.

Usage

• Place this top template on the line just below the redirect's section header:

Template:Tlsp [Additional comments.] ~~~~

• This template is used with a bottom template:

Template:Tlsp

Be sure to place this bottom template at the very bottom of the redirect's discussion.

• If the closer is not an administrator, then the term "non-admin closure" should be included in the "Additional comments".

Context awareness

Module:RfD close uses keyword detection to insert an icon based on the parameter of this template. The icon is displayed when the daily log is transcluded, for example onto the main Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion page. Therefore, the use of these keywords in the first (or result) parameter of this template is highly encouraged:

• File:White check mark in dark green rounded square.svg Keep, Refine, or Withdraw (for "nomination withdrawn")
• File:White x in red rounded square.svg Delete
• File:Right-pointing white arrow in blue rounded square.svg Retarget or Soft redirect
• File:Three disambiguation arrows icon in rounded blue square.svg Disambig (which catches "disambiguation", "disambiguate" etc), DAB, SIA, or set index
• File:White equals sign on grey rounded square.svg No consensus
• File:White i in purple rounded square.svg, which means "bespoke result", is inserted automatically if keywords from multiple groups above are detected, or if the result field is supplied but it does not trigger any keyword.
• File:50% grey rounded square.svg is inserted if the parameter of the template is empty.

All keywords are case-insensitive.
