Usage
![]() | This is a documentation subpage for Template:GOCE-new-blitz-page. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
![]() | This template should always be substituted, i.e. use {{subst:GOCE-new-blitz-page}}. |
Use this template to populate a newly created Guild of Copy Editors Blitz 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 Blitz page normally.

|end-date= | Blitz end date in any format | The last day of the blitz week, e.g. 7 February 2015 |
|theme= | the theme of this blitz | Include punctuation and formatting, with asterisk(s) for bullet point(s). If there are multiple themes use "and". |

|this-blitz= | this blitz's month and year | full month name and year, starting with capital letter, e.g. February 2015 |

Here is some good copy/paste text for a Requests blitz (paste this into the "theme" variable):
*To reduce the number of outstanding requests on our [[WP:GOCE/REQ|requests page]]. [[WP:GAN|Good Article nominations]] (GANs) and [[WP:FAC|Featured Article candidates]] (FACs) require careful editing by experienced copyeditors, with the prose bar higher for FACs than for GANs.
