This template is meant to be subst:ed on the talk pages of users whose attention you would like to draw to a discussion. Please read Wikipedia:Canvassing before using this template. The location parameter is for the page at which the discussion is taking place. For the convenience of the recipient, be sure to link directly to the section header. The heading parameter should be a concise, neutral description of the heading under discussion. The more parameter is an option chance to add a little more discussion to the invitation. This template will automatically add your signature.

Do not include your signature, "~~~~", because that's already included in the code of the template.
