== Note on using this template to close discussions ==
This template should typically not be used to close discussions as {{tl|hat}} is available for this purpose; but if it is, it '''should only be used by uninvolved editors or administrators''' in conjunction with the [[Wikipedia:talk page guidelines|talk page guidelines]] and relevant advice at [[wp:refactoring|refactoring]]. It should not be used by involved parties to end a discussion over the objections of other editors.
