Template:Requested move/end/sandbox

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

• In a requested move discussion (RM), if the closure result is moved (which indicates a page move), then this template must be saved and in place before the page is moved. So a requested move discussion must be closed before the page is moved.

• Before closure of a requested move, near the top of the section's edit screen there is a template:

  {{Requested move/dated|(suggested page move or multiple page moves)}}

That template may be completely removed during closure, or it can be replaced by this template substituted in the following manner:

{{Subst:Requested move/end|result=(result)|(suggested page move or multiple page moves)}}

• If the |result= parameter is not used, then the template will appear as it does at the top of this page. The usual options for the |result= parameter are:

• Moved. (closer's comment)
• Not moved. (closer's comment)
• No consensus. (closer's comment)
• Procedural close. (closer's comment)

• After the closer's comment, a non-admin template such as {{RMnac}} may be used, followed by the closing editor's signature, usually four tildes (~~~~).

Example

When the |result= parameter is used, as in:

{{Subst:Requested move/end|result='''Moved.''' See consensus below to rename this article per cited policies and guidelines. ~~~~|(suggested page move or multiple page moves)}}

the template's wording becomes:

User template

Suggested usage:

<div class="boilerplate" style="background-color: #efe; margin: 2em 0 0 0; padding: 0 10px 0 10px; border: 1px dotted #aaa;"><!-- Template:RM top (modified) -->
:''The following is a closed discussion of a [[WP:requested moves|requested move]]. <span style="color:red">'''Please do not modify it.'''</span> Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a [[Wikipedia:move review|move review]] after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. ''
----

{{Subst:Requested move/end|...|result='''Not moved (or) No consensus (or) Moved.''' (Closer's comment.) ~~~~}}

< discussion >

{{subst:RM bottom}}

• Please ensure that you have read and you understand WP:RMCI.

• After copying and pasting the above to the TOP of the move request's code just after the section header, then cut and paste the {{subst:RM bottom}} template to the very bottom of the move request's code. Replace the ellipsis (...) with all information found in the parameter(s) that follow(s) "/dated|" in the {{Requested move/dated|...}} template. For multiple proposals, if there is a pipe after the text, that pipe should be omitted.

• Refine |result= with your decision and a concise explanatory comment. Remember your sig, and to erase the entire {{Requested move/dated|...}} template. Also erase "< discussion >", leave an edit summary, and finally, click the Publish changes button.

• Proceed to take whatever actions necessary to follow up your decision.
