Template:Failed
 | This is a failed proposal. Consensus in its favor was not established within a reasonable period of time. If you want to revive discussion, please use the talk page or initiate a thread at the village pump. |
To include a shortcut, pass a parameter: {{Failed|WP:SHORT}}.
Failed proposals are listed in Category:Wikipedia rejected proposals.
When adding this template, it is recommended to provide links to any new proposals that superseded it, if known.
Overview[edit]
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.
Usage[edit]
{{Failed|shortcut}}
The only parameter 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.)
