DocumentationThis is the {{centralized discussion}} template.
It maintains a compact index to active discussions of potential community-wide interest. For instructions on when and where to use this template, see Commons:Centralized discussion.
This template is normally placed near the top of pages.
This template should always be transcluded, never substituted, or you will miss the updates to this template.

[edit] Adding items
To add a new item to the list of centralized discussions, edit the Template:Centralized discussion page. Look for the HTML comments that indicate where the list is. Add new items to the top of the list. Be aware that the list is actually a parameter to another template, so it cannot contain bare pipes "|".
The actual structure of the box surrounding the list is provided by the {{centralized discussion/core}} template.
[edit] Localization
A {{LangSwitch}} template is used for each entry. To localise the interface, edit {{Centralized discussion/lang}}, which also uses {{LangSwitch}}.
[edit] Style
Use a single, unambiguous and concise link. Describe the matter or proposal under discussion, in neutral terms. Add the date when the link is added.
