Hello, ArticleResult. The RFC-linked discussion of article article name required, held at Talk:article name required, has been closed. Thank you for your contributions. -- ~~~~

Template usage notes
  • This template is to notify a mainspace article's prominent contributor (e.g. the author or editor who created/edited the content at issue) about the result of a closed WP:RFC discussion on that article.
  • Feel free to write your own message from scratch, or paraphrase this template in your own personal style. This template is not compulsory, it exists for anyone whom it may help to save time and effort in typing or in finding the links.
  • Please refer to the index of user warning templates before using any template on user talk pages to warn a user. Applying the best template available for your purpose may help reduce confusion from the message you are sending.
  • This template takes one required parameter: the exact correct name of the article being discussed (with no brackets). Without this information, the template will make no sense.
  • This template takes an optional but very strongly recommended parameter: one or more sentences expressing the outcome of the RFC. If provided, this outcome will be cited in the message, as a new paragraph in the middle, starting with "The outcome was:"
  • Please remember to substitute the template: use {{subst:ArticleResult|article name|outcome of RFC}} rather than {{ArticleResult|article name|outcome of RFC}}.
  • This template inserts your signature by default (as you would put ~~~~ inside the box). To prevent it from doing so, set the (optional) parameter sig to n: {{subst:ArticleResult|article name|outcome of RFC|sig=n}}.
