When adding this template, it is recommended to [[Template:Superseded|provide links to any new proposals that superseded it]], if known.

A proposal is considered unsuccessful if, within a reasonable timeframe, there is no consensus for its acceptance. It is not necessary for consensus to be totally opposed; if consensus is ambiguous or indifferent towards the matter and unlikely to change, the plan has also failed.
A proposal is considered unsuccessful if, within a reasonable timeframe, there is no consensus for its acceptance. It is not necessary for consensus to be totally opposed; if consensus is ambiguous or indifferent towards the matter and unlikely to change, the plan has also failed.

To include a shortcut, pass a parameter: <code><nowiki>{{Failed policy|TW:SHORT}}</nowiki></code>.

The first unnamed parameter (or named as {{Para|1}}) is optional. If supplied, it displays as a link to the appropriate [[WP:SHORTCUT|shortcut]] page for the proposal. (Note that this is not automatic; MediaWiki cannot determine the shortcut from the page itself. You need to discover or create the shortcut yourself.) Please do not create shortcuts for failed proposals; intelligible shortcuts are a finite resource. In fact, shortcuts may be usurped from long-failed proposals to redirect to something active.
