మూస:Failed proposal/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for మూస:Failed proposal. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original మూస page. |
To include a shortcut, pass a parameter: {{Failed|WP:SHORT}}.
Failed proposals are categorized in Category:Wikipedia failed proposals.
When adding this template, it is recommended to provide links to any new proposals that superseded it, if known.
When to use
[మార్చు]A failed proposal is one for which consensus for acceptance has not developed after a reasonable time period. Consensus need not be fully opposed; if consensus is neutral or unclear on the issue and unlikely to improve, the proposal has likewise failed.
When not to use
[మార్చు]It is not necessary or desirable to put this template on every page that has undergone a formal WP:PROPOSAL. Sometimes the proposal process identifies a better approach (e.g., that an informative and practical page should be a Help: page instead of a {{Guideline}}); these are in no way "failures" and tagging them as such might discourage editors from benefiting from the information on the page. In other cases, such as with the Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle page, editors prefer to retain an {{essay}} tag.
If you feel a need to document the existence of a prior proposal, consider putting a {{FAQ}} or generic {{tmbox}} note on the talk page.
How to use
[మార్చు]{{Failed|shortcut}}
The first unnamed parameter (or named as |1=) is optional. If supplied, it displays as a link to the appropriate shortcut page for the proposal. (Note that this is not automatic; MediaWiki cannot determine the shortcut from the page itself. You need to discover or create the shortcut yourself.) Please do not create shortcuts for failed proposals; intelligible shortcuts are a finite resource. In fact, shortcuts may be usurped from long-failed proposals to redirect to something active.
The |date= parameter can be used to add the date at which the page was tagged as failed, or at which a formal WP:PROPOSAL process did not accept the proposal. It accepts any .
A |result= AKA |reason= parameter can also be used to add free-form text explaining the failure (e.g. linking to a WP:PROPOSAL discussion, quoting from an RfC summary statement, etc.). This should be kept short (e.g., a concise sentence or two), since this is a banner template. The content of this parameter will be auto-formatted as a separate paragraph below the default text (and thus should not itself contain paragraph markup).
