Template documentation

Usage

This template adds articles to Category:Good article nominees. It is created automatically by the template substitution {{subst:GAN|subtopic=name of the section at WP:GAN where the article is listed}}, which should be placed at the top of the talk page of the nominated. The syntax is as follows:

{{GA nominee|~~~~~|page=|subtopic=|status=}}

where the subtopic keyword (optional) specifies where on the nominations page the article is listed, and the five tildes generate the date of nomination. The page parameter indicates the subpage where the review is stored. Both the date and the page parameter are automatically generated by {{subst:GAN}}. The status parameter is initially left blank, but can be changed to "on hold" or "2nd opinion" by reviewers to indicate the current status of the article. The date can be updated with each change of status. The template will change appearance as shown below.

{{GA nominee|12:54, 2 March 2008 (UTC)|page=2|subtopic=engineering|status=}} yields:

GA nominee is currently a good article nominee. Anyone who has not contributed significantly to this article may review it according to the good article criteria to decide whether or not to list it as a good article, as outlined on the nominations page. Reviewers: To start the review process, follow this link to create a dedicated subpage for the review. (If you have already done this, and the template has not changed, try purging this talk page.) Date: 12:54, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

{{GA nominee|12:54, 2 March 2008 (UTC)|page=1|subtopic=art|status=}} yields:

GA nominee is currently a good article nominee. An editor has indicated a willingness to review the article in accordance with the good article criteria. Further reviews are welcome from any editor who has not contributed significantly to this article, and can be added to the review page, but the decision whether or not to to list the article as a good article should be left to the first reviewer. Date: 12:54, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

{{GA nominee|use five tildes here to provide the current date|page=1|subtopic=geography|status=on hold}} yields:

GA nominee is currently a good article nominee. An editor has placed this article on hold to allow improvements to be made in order to satisfy the good article criteria. Recommendations have been left on the review page, and editors have seven days to address these issues. Improvements made in this period will influence the reviewer's decision whether or not to list the article as a good article. Date: use five tildes here to provide the current date

{{GA nominee|page=1|subtopic=sport|status=2nd opinion}} yields:

GA nominee is currently a good article nominee. An editor has reviewed the article, and left comments on the review page. However, this editor has requested a second opinion either from a more experienced reviewer, or someone with more expertise on this subject, to gain further consensus that this article meets the good article criteria. In the meantime, editors are encouraged to revise the article based on the first reviewer's comments. Date: No date specified. To provide a date use: {{GA nominee|insert date here|page=1|status=2nd opinion|subtopic=Sports and recreation}}

Note that the subtopic makes the first link go to the right location on the nominations page. It is case insensitive and accepts a number of variants and abbreviations.

Technical note

This template uses {{GAN/editintro}}, {{GAN/preload}} and {{subst:GAN/subst}} to provide further instructions and assistance when starting the review subpage.
