Template:Moot/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The purpose of this tag is to give a visual hint to readers of talk page items to ignore a discussion thread as moot, that is, having no relevance to the final outcome (see the Wiktionary entry for moot). It is hoped that the existence of this tag will make it easier for the reader to pass over these topics or to understand that a response is no longer requested.

Usage

[edit]

Place the following at the beginning of a comment:

{{Moot|~~~~}}
 – JohnDoe 00:00, 15 January 2001 (UTC)

To make an additional comment explaining why the issue is moot, and/or to sign so that others know who marked the thread as stuck:

{{Moot|reason=See [[WP:POLICY-PAGE]]. --~~~~}}
 – See WP:POLICY-PAGE. --JohnDoe 00:00, 15 January 2001 (UTC)

(The named parameter, |1=, |reason=, |result=, or |text=, is necessary if there are any "=" characters in the message, for example if your raw signature contains "=".)
