Note on using this template to close discussions

This template should typically not be used to close discussions as {{hat}} is available for this purpose; but if it is, it should only be used by uninvolved editors or administrators in conjunction with the talk page guidelines and relevant advice at refactoring. It should not be used by involved parties to end a discussion over the objections of other editors.
