<!-- EDIT TEMPLATE DOCUMENTATION BELOW THIS LINE -->

The {{Tlx|Discussion top}} and {{Tlx|Discussion bottom}} templates are used to close discussions on a talk page or a noticeboard.

When used on a talk page, these templates '''should only be used by uninvolved editors or administrators''' in conjunction with the [[Bharatpedia:Talk page guidelines|talk page guidelines]] and relevant advice at [[Bharatpedia:Refactoring]]. They should not be used by [[Bharatpedia:Administrators#Involved admins|involved parties]] to end a discussion over the objections of other editors.

== Usage ==
Place {{Tlc|Discussion top}} '''below''' the header containing the discussion, then place {{Tlc|Discussion bottom}} at the end of the discussion. A summary of the conclusions reached may be included as a parameter in the former.

Again: '''Place them below the header. Do not include the header, it will break archiving bots!'''

=== Example ===
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
== Header ==
{{Discussion top|reason=The result of this discussion was '''template created'''. ~~~~}}

I suggest that we make a template to note completed discussions. [[User:Example|Example]] ([[User talk:Example|talk]]) 13:05, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
* How about calling it ''discussion top'' and ''discussion bottom''? [[User:Jimbo Wales|Jimbo Wales]] ([[User talk:Example|talk]]) 06:44, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

{{Discussion bottom}}
</syntaxhighlight>

Would produce:
{{Discussion top|reason=The result of this discussion was '''template created'''. [[User:Example|Example]] ([[User talk:Example|talk]]) {{CURRENTTIME}}, {{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} (UTC)}}
