There are multiple formats for Requests for comment. Some options are shown here.

The most popular option is a single section containing all information and responses of any kind.

Separate votes from discussion

Consider creating a subsection, after your signature, called (for example) "survey," where people can support or oppose, and a second called "threaded discussion," where people can discuss the issues in depth. Feel free to ask people not to add threaded replies to the survey section. This will make the RfC easier to read for the editor who closes it, which is especially important for RfCs that attract a lot of responses. So the RfC might look like this:

==RfC: Is the photo in the history section relevant?==
{{rfc|hist}}
Should the "History" section contain a photograph of the ship? ~~~~

===Survey===
*'''Support''' inclusion of the photograph, which helps the reader. ~~~~
*'''Oppose''', it isn't relevant enough. ~~~~

===Threaded discussion===
*I have concerns about this photograph. ~~~~
**What kind of concerns? ~~~~
