Template:GOCE-new-drive-page/doc

Use this template to populate a newly created Guild of Copy Editors Drive 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 Drive page normally.

Parameters

The table below shows the parameters that will populate the Drive page with the usual variables. If any are omitted, the Drive page can be edited as normal and the variables added. Omitted variables will not appear in the resulting Drive page.

Parameters	Variable	Notes
|start-date=	Drive start date in any format	The first day of the drive month, e.g. 1 February 2015
|end-date=	Drive end date in any format	The last day of the drive month, e.g. 28 February 2015
|backlog-months=	backlog months	include punctuation and "and" in the template markup
|request-months=	request month(s)	include punctuation and "and" in the template markup
|previous-drive=	previous drive's month and year	full month name and year, starting with capital letter, e.g. December 2014
|this-drive=	this drive's month and year	full month name and year, starting with capital letter, e.g. February 2015
|lead-coordinator=	lead coordinator's username	Use {{subst:User0|Example}} for all coordinator usernames.
|coordinators=	coordinators' usernames	list all coordinators' names (see example)

Example

This is an example of how to use the template.

{{subst:GOCE-new-drive-page
| start-date=1 February 2015
| end-date=28 February 2015
| backlog-months=September, October and November 2013
| request-months=November and December 2014
| previous-drive=December 2014
| this-drive=February 2015
| lead-coordinator={{subst:User0|Example}}
| coordinators={{subst:User0|Example1}}, {{subst:User0|Example2}} and {{subst:User0|Example3}}
}}

This is an example appropriate for the first half of 2024 with coordinators' names filled in (remember to change other parameters).
