Template:GAProgress/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template is a progress assessment tool for Good Article reviews. The user may adjust its parameters to indicate whether each of the good article criteria are met as a review progresses. It is a quick and simple template, in contrast to other more detailed review templates.

The syntax for all parameters is as follows:

  • y, yes, pass, good, ok, k, +, aye all produce a pass symbol:
  • n, no, fail, bad, nk, -, nay all produce a fail symbol:
  • ?, ??, ???, dunno, question, huh all produce a question symbol:
  • wtf produces Wikipedia's "I am out of my comfort zone" symbol:
  • hold and on hold produce the on hold symbol:
  • neu, neutral and und produce the neutral symbol:
  • blank or no input produces the unassessed symbol

Usage[edit]

This template should be substituted since the GA criteria are reviewed from time to time and this template may change.
