Template:DRN/doc

This is the {{DRN}} or Dispute resolution noticeboard message box. It should be placed on the article talk page at the top of the section that discusses the ongoing dispute. Once the dispute is closed on DRN, the template should be removed from the talk page.

Note: You must list your dispute at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard in order for editors to respond.

This template should not be subst'ed.

Use

The template can be added to an article without any parameters. Using the template in this way will not provide a link directly to the DRN section.

{{DRN}}

produces:

Parameters

The template has two optional parameters:

thread

This is used to add a link to the section on Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard listing the dispute.

article

This adds a link to the article under dispute. This is useful if the notice is displayed on a page other than the disputed article's talk page. If the thread name is the same as the article name, you may omit the thread parameter.

clear

Used to correct format so that when someone adds a new section on a page, it will look like a new section and not be squished into the DRN notice. Has no editor use. Added 05/19/2020 by Galendalia
