Template:Resolved

Yes Resolved

Purpose
The purpose of the "resolved" tag is to give a visual hint to readers of talk page items, making it easier to ignore already-resolved issues. Also, it is hoped that the existence of such a tag will encourage the resolution of items on a talk page.

This template is to show an item on a talk page has been resolved and there is no dispute in anyone's mind about the outcome. That is, the initial comment or request has been filled, a reply to that effect has been added, and there are no disputed items or issues left to be resolved, and (if required) the article (or other page type) has been updated.

The "resolved" tag is not final and does not close a conversation. If new issues arise, or the item is not fully resolved, please remove the tag. Thus, the tag also helps clarify situations that might otherwise be ignored because some users thought the issue was resolved, when it was not.

This tag can be (and is) also used in admin processes to note that an action item reported to a notice board has been dealt with, and can further be of help on user talk pages to sort messages for archival from those to be retained for continued discussion or followup action.

Usage
Place the following under the topic heading on a talk page:  

(The 1= is necessary if there are any "=" characters in the message, for example if your raw signature contains "=".)

To make an additional comment explaining why the issue is resolved, and/or to sign so that others know who marked the thread as resolved:

Example
==Chelonia== 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? OneUser123 2 July 2005 05:08 (UTC) :Yes you are right. I changed it. AnotherUser789 00:26, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
