Template:Talk/doc
This page is a template. It contains some standardized, often used text, which can be transcluded inside other pages. As this template is widely used in our wiki, it may be protected in which case only staff members can change it. Use the discussion page to propose enhancements or fixes, or to voice your opinion.
This is a template intended to simplify the marking and categorizing of talk-page discussions by removing the need to wrap {{InfoBox stack}} around templates in Category:InfoBox talk templates.
It should not be necessary to display more than one infobox template in a stack on a (non-userspace) talk page, but if that is desired you will have to use {{InfoBox stack}} instead of this template.
Parameters
To simplify the marking or categorization of talk-page discussions
| Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Discussion status | 1 | status of the discussion (see templates in Category:InfoBox talk templates) (spaces should be replaced with underscores)
| String | suggested |
| Date | date | free-form date to be displayed in the message (after the phrase 'as of')
| Date | optional |
Usage
See the template's testcases:
Correct
open){{Talk}}

done{{Talk|done}}
closed can also be used instead of done, since some users of this template may find it more natural to use that word as the opposite of open.
