Template:GOCE-new-blitz-page/doc
![]() | This is a documentation subpage for Template:GOCE-new-blitz-page. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
![]() | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:GOCE-new-blitz-page}} ). |
Use this template to populate a newly created Guild of Copy Editors Blitz page. It must always be substituted (see copy-and-paste example at the bottom of this page); if it is transcluded, you won't be able to edit the Blitz page normally.
Parameters
[edit]The table below shows the parameters that will populate the Blitz page with the usual variables. If any are omitted, the Blitz page can be edited as normal and the variables added. Omitted variables will not appear in the resulting Blitz page.

|end-date= | Blitz end date in any format | The last day of the blitz week, e.g. 7 February 2015 |

* The articles from our backlog: [[:Category:Wikipedia articles needing copy edit from August 2023|August 2023]] and [[:Category:Wikipedia articles needing copy edit from September 2023|September 2023]]
** New Wikipedia copy editors (welcome!) are advised to focus their efforts on these backlog articles.
* All [[WP:GOCE/REQ|requests]]; GANs and FACs should be copyedited by experienced editors.
**'''Please note:''' it is very important that articles listed on the Request page are skillfully and fully copy-edited; many of these will be reviewed for [[Wikipedia:Good article criteria|Good Article]] or [[WP:Featured article criteria|Featured Article]] status. If you have any questions or comments about the article you're copy-editing, please ask on the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/August 2024|blitz's talk page]].

Here is some good copy/paste text for a Requests blitz (paste this into the "theme" variable):
*To reduce the number of outstanding requests on our [[WP:GOCE/REQ|requests page]]. [[WP:GAN|Good Article nominations]] (GANs) and [[WP:FAC|Featured Article candidates]] (FACs) require careful editing by experienced copyeditors, with the prose bar higher for FACs than for GANs.
