Misplaced Pages

Latest revision as of 12:38, 23 November 2008

Please use the page parameter to specify the number of the next free review subpage, or use {{subst:GAR}} instead to find the next free page automatically. Please use the GARpage parameter to specify the number of the next free reassessment page, or use {{subst:GAR}} instead to find the next free page automatically.

If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, move it, change scope, or nominate it for deletion or deprecation, please notify the Article Alerts project at Misplaced Pages talk:Article alerts as a courtesy, as this page is used by the AAlertBot bot to detect and report pages. Thank you!

This template provides details about an ongoing GA reassessment. It is created automatically by substituting {{subst:GAR}}.

Please do not use this template directly to initiate a reassessment: instead, add {{subst:GAR}} to the top of the article talk page.

This will create a copy of this template with the following syntax:

{{GAR/link|~~~~~|page=|GARpage=|status=}}

Parameters

• page - the number of talk subpage where an individual reassessment is stored
• GARpage - the number of the good article reassessment subpage where a community reassessment is stored
• status - the result of the reassessment: once the reassessment is complete, this should be set to one of "listed", "delisted", "not listed" or "kept", according to the outcome
• pagename - in case the article is moved, resulting in a mismatch between the pagename of the article and the name of the reassessment page. Alternatively the reassessment page can be moved, but this requires some care to get the numbering right.

Examples

Initially, these parameters will both point to the next free subpage and the template will appear as follows:

To start a reassessment, follow this link to create the good article reassessment page for the article. Please indicate clearly how the article does not meet the good article criteria.  (If you have already created a reassessment page, and the template has not changed, try purging this talk page.)

Following the appropriate link opens an edit window to create a new reassessment page, with some preloaded text, and some instructions on what to write in the edit window. Once you've saved your edit, and the reassessment page is created, this template will change to provide an announcement and a link:

To start a reassessment, follow this link to create the good article reassessment page for the article. Please indicate clearly how the article does not meet the good article criteria.  (If you have already created a reassessment page, and the template has not changed, try purging this talk page.)

The good article status of this article is being reassessed by the community to determine whether the article meets the good article criteria. Please add comments to the reassessment page.

However, you may need to bypass the cached version of the article talk page to see this change.

The status parameter is used to indicate the result of the reassessment: once the reassessment is complete, this should be set to one of "listed", "delisted", "not listed" or "kept", according to the outcome. For example:

The good article status of this article is being reassessed by the community to determine whether the article meets the good article criteria. The article was kept as a GA. For further information see the reassessment page.

There is also a pagename parameter, in case the article is moved, resulting in a mismatch between the pagename of the article and the name of the reassessment page. Alternatively the reassessment page can be moved, but this requires some care to get the numbering right.

The template traps some errors, such as a missing page parameter. Also, if an article has had many reviews or reassessments, {{subst:GAR}} may not be able to find the next free reassessment page, but this template provides help on what to do if that happens. Here is an example of such an error message:

Please use the page parameter to specify the number of the next free review subpage, or use {{subst:GAR}} instead to find the next free page automatically. There are many existing reassessment pages for this article; please find the next free page using this search, or ask for help at WT:GAR.

Dependencies

This template uses {{GAR/linktext}} to provide its text, and {{GAR/editintro1}}, {{GAR/editintro2}}, {{GAR/preload1}}, {{GAR/preload2}}, {{subst:GAR/header}} and {{subst:GAR/subst}} to assist with the creation of the reassessment page.
