Creating a new A-Class review or reappraisal

[edit]

If an article has been put up for A-Class review in the past and you receive a request for assistance per WP:MHR for a fresh review, a new version has to be created manually.

Find the archive page

[edit]
  1. Go to Special:WhatLinksHere
  2. Put the name of the old review page into the upper text box. It will look like Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/<page name>
    eg Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/History of military logistics
  3. Set the namespace in the lower dropbox to "Wikipedia"
    One link should be found. It should look like Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/<Year>/<Outcome> where <Outcome> will be Promoted, Kept, Failed or Demoted
    eg Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/2023/Promoted
  4. Click on the link of that archive page, which transcludes the review.

Find the last review

[edit]
  1. On another tab or window, go to the talk page of the article and look in the {{article history}} template for any past reviews. They will have the form Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/<page name><number>.
  2. If there are any, we will be creating an archive with a number one greater than the last one. Otherwise, we will be creating archive1

Move the review page

[edit]
  1. On another tab or window go to the review page
  2. Move the page from <review page> to <review page>/archive<number> without redirect
    eg. Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/History of military logistics/archive1
    Nota bene* This requires page mover privileges (bundled if you are an admin). If you don't have page mover, you can request it at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Page mover.

Update the talk page

[edit]
  1. Go back to the talk page tab and edit the {{article history}} template and change <review page> to <review page>/archive<number>

Update the archive

[edit]
  1. Go back to the archive page tab and edit it to change <review page> to <review page>/archive<number>
