HRWiki:STUFF/Verdict

From Homestar Runner Wiki

How to close an item:

The following instructions are not difficult, but they are somewhat involved. Please make sure you are familiar with the wiki software and the overall process before undertaking them.

• Click "edit" next to the section.
• Copy the title from the summary box.
• Click "edit" at the top of the page to edit the entire page.
• Paste the title back into the summary box and note the verdict.
• Scroll down to the appropriate section.
• Select the entire item from "{{stuffbeginblue}}" (or "{{stuffbegingray}}") down to "{{stuffend}}".
• Copy it to the clipboard, and paste it in a text editor.
• Change "stuffbeginblue" (or "-gray") to "stuffclosedaccept" (or "-decline").
• Change "stuffdata" to "stuffverdict".
• Copy the name of the article (but not the brackets) to the clipboard.
• Remove the link to the article and one of the vertical bars.
• Between the "posted on" date and the braces, type a vertical bar and then five tildes ("~~~~~").
• Type another vertical bar, and then the verdict (e.g. "accepted", "unanimously declined", "revised and accepted").
• Type another vertical bar, and then the majority vote.
• Type another vertical bar, and then the minority vote.
• Type a final vertical bar, and then paste the article name.
  
  Like this: {{stuffverdict|original posted on date|~~~~~|verdict|majority|minority|original article}}.
  
  Example: {{stuffverdict|12:09, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)|~~~~~|unanimously declined|5|0|Stinkoman 20X6}}.
  
  

• If the item was revised before being accepted, copy the revised fact from {{stuffrevise}} and paste it over the original fact in {{stufffact}}.
• Delete from the end of {{stuffverdict}} all the way through {{stuffend}}.
• Preview and save the page.
• If any items for an article are still active, move them to the top of the STUFF template, and then resave the page.
  
  

• Click on the link to the archive page.
• Edit the page.
• If the page does not already exist, type {{stuffarchive}} at the top of the page.
• Copy the original item from your text editor.
• Paste it into the archive.
• Preview and save the page.
• If all the items for an article are closed:
  • Remove {{checkstuffpage}} from the article's fun facts section.
  • Move the template down in the list of STUFF templates so that templates with open items are above those with all closed items.
    
    

• After a week or so, move the verdicts from the STUFF template to the article's talk page and copy them to HRWiki:STUFF/Archive/Verdicts.
• If the template still has other items on it, move it up in the list of STUFF templates appropriately.
• Once the template has no items on it anymore:
  • Remove the page's STUFF template from the list of STUFF templates.
  • Mark the empty STUFF template {{delete|archived}}.
