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