Template:RFC countdown/doc

Description
This template provides a simple countdown. The automatic default for the RFC bot is to let an RFC stay open for 30 days, so this has been taken as the default run time.

Warning: The figures may only update when a page is purged. Consequently, this template may be of limited use for a rarely updated talk page.

Usage
Only the first parameter is mandatory and should be set to the date the RFC was raised. The date should be in the format "YYYY-MM-DD".

The optional total run time defaults to 30 and may be set to any number.

The optional third parameter displays "This RFC will close in  days." only if the parameter equals "RFC".
