Consumer Rights Wiki:Moderator guidelines: Difference between revisions

Line 68:

These tags can be used by writing <code><nowiki>{{TagName}}</nowiki></code> at the top of an article in the source editor. For instance, to use the Incomplete stubnotice, type the following at the TOP of the article, & follow it by a line break''(a new line, aka hit enter on the keyboard)''

<code><nowiki>{{Incomplete}}</nowiki></code>

Line 113:

Line 115:

It is also worth noting that articles created via the [[Consumer_Rights_Wiki:Create page| Create page]] dialog that include placeholder boxes will also be added to the [[:Category:Articles in need of additional work|Articles in need of work]] category.

Since the page creation form does not add any content to pages when they are first created, article notices should not be placed on a newly created article until around 12 hours after the article's creation.

The exceptions to this are as follows:

#If the article is obviously of questionable relevance, it is sensible to put an Irrelevant notice on the article and initiate those discussions early, rather than waiting for the contributor to write the whole thing before discussing whether it fits on the wiki

#If the article has been started with an obviously incorrect tone, a ToneWarning or message on the article's discussion page should be provided to try and steer the contributor towards the correct presentation of information

#If the article is obvious spam, a deletion notice should be issued, or the article should be simply deleted (depending on whether there is any room for interpretation around whether the article is spam)
