Wikipedia:Collaboration of the week/Maintenance

• If you believe that an article is too long for nomination, and would be better suited for the Article Improvement Drive, you can mark it with the {{notastub}} template (making sure to use subst), which will display:

• If a nomination expires, edit this page and remove the text including it, and add this text to the bottom of Wikipedia:Collaboration of the week/Removed.

• When the time comes to update the current collaboration, follow these steps:

1. remove the winning nomination from the list, and update the date that a future nomination will be selected, with an edit summary of [[New article]] has been selected (replace "new article" with the article name).
2. edit the past collaboration page, and remove the {{COTWnow}} template from the top of the page.
3. edit the past collaboration's talk page, and after removing any COTW-related tags it may have, add the template {{past cotw|(date selected)|(year selected)}}.
4. add {{COTWnow}} to the new collaboration.
5. update {{cotw1}} with the name of the new collaboration.
6. update {{cotw2}} with the name of the previous collaboration.
7. perform a history diff between the date the {{COTWnow}} template was added, and when you removed it, copy the section of the URL starting with diff=, and paste this in {{cotw3}}.
8. update Wikipedia:Community Portal/COTW with the introduction of the new collaboration, as appropriate.
9. update Wikipedia:Collaboration of the week/History with the new collaboration of the week.
10. Optional: put {{subst:COTWvoter}} ~~~~ on the talk pages of the people who voted for the winning nomination.
