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.
