This template is used to inform editors that they are being discussed on the administrative noticeboards. Note that this applies to ALL types of users, whether they be an admin, a new user, or an anon IP.

This template does not necessarily imply wrongdoing on the part of an editor; all editors who are merely involved in a behavioral dispute (e.g. previous blocking administrators of blocked users) can and must also be notified.

Usage edit

{{subst:Discussion notice|topic|page=page of discussion|reason=reason for discussion|thread=thread name of the discussion}} ~~~~

Parameters edit

  • topic – optional parameter that links to the page being discussed
  • thread – optional parameter that links to thread that user is being discussed at
  • page – the page where the discussion is taking place
  • noticeboard – same as the page parameter
  • reason - a parameter that can be changed to reflect a more specific reason why the editor is being discussed
