Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template should always be substituted – use {{subst:GAProgress}}.

This template is used on approximately 4,200 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

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, idk 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

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

| originalresearch = <!-- it contains no original research -->
| copyvio = <!-- it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism --> 
| broadness = <!-- it addresses the main aspects of the topic -->
| focus = <!-- it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail -->
| neutral = <!-- it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each -->
| stable = <!-- it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute -->
| freeortaggedpics = <!-- images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content -->
| picsrelevant = <!--  images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions -->
}}
