Template:CB-consensus/doc

Usage
This template posts a message box which declares consensus has been reached for a proposal, including its title and the reason why it passed.

Use this to indicate when a discussion appears to have reached consensus, and to summarize what the consensus decision is. Don't use it lightly, such as a false claim of victory when consensus is not yet realized. But do use it when a real consensus decision has been reached.

Guidelines for which resolution to use

 * If all parties in the discussion can live with it, meaning they react to a proposal with neutral to positive responses, use CB-consensus to declare a consensus has been reached, and to record what that decision was.
 * If all parties except one or a small group have made a genuine effort to achieve consensus, it is allowable by the Method for consensus building guidelines to exclude "spoilers" from a declaration of consensus. Use the more appropritate of CB-consensus or CB-supermajority to declare a consensus has been reached.  You must explicitly list those who were excluded from the result - it is not acceptable to ignore anyone.
 * If the discussion is unresolved due to subjects which need time for more research, use CB-postpone to suggest taking that time and coming back with the answer(s) to continue.
 * If a minority who oppose the result can accept making a minority statement, have one of them represent the minority and write their position as a user essay. Include a link to that when posting the majority consensus result with CB-majority.
 * If the discussion group finds it acceptable to refer the issue to a neutral third party, use CB-refer to state that conclusion. Include a link to the third party's page.
 * If consensus cannot be reached, use CB-deadlock to propose that the discussion should be abandoned as deadlocked.

Link anchors
It also adds link anchors (via anchor) named "Consensus: title" and "title", using the provided title text. So discussion referring to the claim of consensus may link to it using or. In general, care should be taken not to use the same title again on the same page or among pages which are included together.
