Documentation for the edit warring closing template

New page

This template marks the top of a closed report on the [[Bharatpedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring|edit warring noticeboard]]. It is used together with <nowiki>{{Edit warring bottom}}</nowiki>, which is placed at the very end of the report.

== Usage ==
When closing a report, add this template at the very top of the report's section, and substitute it:

<pre>{{subst:Edit warring top|result}}</pre>

The single parameter is the result of the case, for example:

<pre>{{subst:Edit warring top|Both editors cautioned, no blocks}}</pre>

The named form gives the same output:

<pre>{{subst:Edit warring top|result=No violation found}}</pre>

Write the result in the report's "Awaiting administrative action" line as usual, sign your closing comment, and then place <nowiki>{{subst:Edit warring bottom}}</nowiki> below it.

== Standard results ==
Use a short, clear outcome, for example:

* '''No violation found'''
* '''No action taken'''
* '''Editor cautioned''', naming the editor
* '''Both editors cautioned'''
* '''Blocked''', naming the editor and the length of the block
* '''Page protected''', naming the page and the length of the protection

== After closing ==
* Carry out the action first: issue any blocks or protections, and leave any cautions on the editors' talk pages.
* Move the closed report to [[Bharatpedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring/Archive 1]].
* Do not edit the report further once it is closed. If the same behaviour happens again, a new report should be filed.
