{{Archive top green|status=|result=}}

Place the {{Archive top green}} template below the header containing the discussion, then place {{Archive bottom}} at the end of the discussion.

Do not include main section headers: including main headers will disrupt archiving bots.

This template takes two optional parameters, used for creating a floating box for discussion results:

• status - resolved/withdrawn/moved/none, or any short phrase. A brief header (uppercased) to indicate the status of the discussion.
• result - the result of the discussion. Generally speaking, this template should only be used if the result is successful.

These parameters are passed through to template:Quote box to create the result box.
