Usage

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.

Parameters

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

Parameters Variable Notes
|start-date= Blitz start date in any format The first day of the blitz week, e.g. 1 February 2015
|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".
|previous-blitz= previous blitz's month and year full month name and year, starting with capital letter, e.g. December 2014
|this-blitz= this blitz'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-blitz-page

| end-date=7 February 2015
| theme=Requests and WikiProject Albums

| this-blitz=February 2015
| lead-coordinator={{subst:User0|Example}}
| coordinators={{subst:User0|Example1}}, {{subst:User0|Example2}} and {{subst:User0|Example3}}
}}

Easy-to-use copy-and-paste version

Copy and paste the empty template below into the new Blitz page.
Fill in the parameters as shown in the example.
Remove any parameters that are not required.
{{subst:GOCE-new-blitz-page
| start-date=
| end-date=
| theme=
| previous-blitz=
| this-blitz=
| lead-coordinator={{subst:User0|}}
| coordinators={{subst:User0|}} and {{subst:User0|}}
}}

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.
