How it works
[edit]There are a few simple codes for each bullet point:
- pass - Sets the status to ✔ check
- fail - Sets the status to ✘ fail
- Anything else will appear in parenthesis. For example "waiting for x" becomes (waiting for x)
All values default to (pending)
Categories
[edit]Once all fields are set to pass the article's talk page is then listed under Category:Articles that have been Wikified. Otherwise, the article's talk page is listed under Category:Articles currently undergoing Wikification.
