Template:FailedGA/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a documentation subpage for Template:FailedGA (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template adds article talk pages to Category:Former good article nominees. To indicate the reviewed version and the topic of the article, use {{FailedGA|date|oldid=nnnnnn|topic=topic name}} on the talk page rather than just {{FailedGA|date}}. Here date should be replaced by the date when the article was reviewed, nnnnnn should be replaced by the id number of the reviewed version of the article, and topic name should be replaced by the abbreviation or full name of the topic of the article. The possible topics can be found here; the abbreviations for the topics are: arts, langlit, philrelig, everydaylife, socsci, geography, history, engtech, math, natsci.

If the review is stored on a subpage, you need to provide also a page number. For example

{{FailedGA|17:51, 29 May 2008 (UTC)|topic=geography|page=1}} yields:

FailedGA/doc was a Geography and places good article nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions on the review page for improving the article. Once these are addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.
