Available arguments are y, n, aye, nay, wtf, and ???; some synonyms are also available for these arguments. Any other argument or no argument at all gives an undecided mark.
The comment lines ("com") are used for additional notes. If no comment is included, the comment line doesn't appear. This is also true of "overcom", which allows for general comments before the subsections.
Note that the template should be substituted, as the GA guidelines are reviewed from time to time and this template may be changed.
