Template:Stale
Stale {{{1}}}
Purpose
The purpose of the "stale" tag is to give a visual hint to readers of talk page items, making it easier to ignore issues that have gone stale. It is hoped that the existence of such a tag will make it easier to find active non-stale items on a page still needing attention.
The "stale" tag is not final and does not close a conversation. If new issues arise, or the item again becomes active, please remove the tag. Thus, the tag also helps clarify situations that might otherwise be ignored because some users thought the issue had faded away, when new activity may again be involved.
Usage
Place the following under the topic heading on a talk page:
{{Stale|~~~~}}
Stale: JohnDoe 00:26, 14 July 2005 (UTC) To make an additional comment explaining why the issue is has gone stale, and/or to sign so that others know who marked the thread as stale:
{{Stale|1=no users have entered comments for a month. --~~~~}}
Stale: no users have entered comments for a month. --JohnDoe 00:26, 14 July 2005 (UTC)(The 1= is necessary if there are any "=" characters in the message, for example if your raw signature contains "=".)
Example
==Chelonia==
{{Stale|~~~~}}
Chelonia currently redirects to Turtle, but ''Chelonia'' is the monotypic genus containing the [[Green Sea Turtle]].
Shouldn't it be Chelonian-->Turtle, and Chelonia-->Green Sea Turtle? [[User:OneUser123|OneUser123]] 2 July 2005 05:08 (UTC)
:There has been no response. Is anyone still working on this? [[User:AnotherUser789|AnotherUser789]] 00:26, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
