This template is used to close discussions on a talk page or a noticeboard.
When used on a talk page this template should only be used by uninvolved editors or administrators in conjunction with the talk page guidelines and relevant advice at Wikipedia:Refactoring talk pages. It should not be used by involved parties to end a discussion over the objections of other editors.
Usage
{{Archive top|status=|result=}}Place the {{Archive top}} 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.
Parameters

status:resolved,withdrawn,moved,none, or any short custom phrase. A brief header (uppercased) to indicate the status of the discussion. Another name for this parameter is "head".result: the result of the discussion. Another name for this parameter is "body".bg: the background color for the discussion box. Accepts any valid HTML color name or hex triplet. Default isEDEAFF.
These parameters are passed through to Template:Quote box to create the result box.
