Template:ArticleDiscussion
RFC/discussion of article article name required
[edit]Hello, ArticleDiscussion. As a prominent contributor to article name required, you may want to be aware that a request for comments has been filed about it. The RFC can be found by the article's name in this list, and the actual discussion can be found on Talk:article name required, in case you wish to participate. Thank you for your contributions. -- ~~~~
Usage
[edit]- 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 a WP:RFC discussion opened 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.
- Please remember to substitute the template: use {{subst:ArticleDiscussion|article name}} rather than {{ArticleDiscussion|article name}}.
- 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:ArticleDiscussion|article name|sig=n}}.
