This is a documentation subpage for Template:Vote close top (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

The templates {{vote close top}} and {{vote close bottom}} are used to bracket off a closed vote for archival purposes, to discourage modification after the vote is complete. The top is generally placed before the heading element and the bottom is generally placed at the bottom of the discussion.

So for example, if this is the discussion:

== Vote for Adopting Policy, 2012-04-09 ==
Per the conversation above, please vote below on whether you '''Support''' or '''Oppose''' adopting this policy. If you oppose the change, please state why and what would need to be changed in order for you to support it. -- [[#null|An Admin]] 19:08, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

* '''Support.''' -- [[#null|An Admin]] 19:11, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
* '''Support.''' This is long overdue. -- [[#null|Some User]] 20:28, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

'''Voting is closed with a majority result of Support.''' The tally was two Support and zero Oppose. The policy will be marked as official. -- [[#null|An Admin]] 21:10, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Then you would add the templates like so:

{{vote close top}}
== Vote for Adopting Policy, 2012-04-09 ==
Per the conversation above, please vote below on whether you '''Support''' or '''Oppose''' adopting this policy. If you oppose the change, please state why and what would need to be changed in order for you to support it. -- [[#null|An Admin]] 19:08, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

* '''Support.''' -- [[#null|An Admin]] 19:11, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
* '''Support.''' This is long overdue. -- [[#null|Some User]] 20:28, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

'''Voting is closed with a majority result of Support.''' The tally was two Support and zero Oppose. The policy will be marked as official. -- [[#null|An Admin]] 21:10, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
{{vote close bottom}}

And they would display like this:
