User:Chris Day/Test article not approved

(User subpage)

This Test article not approved is a test for the {{subpages2}} template. See Test article for an example of an approved version with EVERY subpage.

For both the Test article and the Test article not approved I have instigated the approval process by adding my name to the metadata template as an editor wanting to approve the representative article.

Geography of an article

One can use the subpages template on the right to browse through the various subpages.

Relating to other articles

One can use the categories at the bottom of the article to identify other approved articles in this workgroup, among other things.

Key pages that are required for a new article

There are three key pages that should be created with each new article. The approval page, the metadata page and the unused subpages page. The only critical page is the metadata page since it provides ALL the information for the {{subpages2}} template to function correctly.

The buttons at the bottom of the navigation template include links to these key pages. In addition there is a print option (only on relevant pages) and a link to the general CZ:Subpage_Pilot page that explains the concept of subpages. I also plan to add a feature to allow the comparison of the current draft version with the approved version that will be active on all approved articles.

Colour scheme

The colour of the template reflects that status of the article. Green is approved. Blue is not approved.

How to use the {{subpages2}} template

1) Place {{subpages2}} at the top of every page in a cluster, including all talk pages and subpages.

2 For the subpages2 template to function correctly it is important to set up an additonal Metadata template for each article. This is easily done by adding the following code to a generic template named Template:ARTICLENAME/Metadata. The checklist parameters should be filled out in the usual way (see instructions below for a description of usage for all the fields in the metadata template.) Converting a current article is easily achived by cutting and pasting the parameters from the current checklist, that already exists on the talk page, to the new Metadata template for the article.

{{#switch: {{{info}}}
<!--Pagename must be filled out for template to work correctly-->
|       pagename =
|        dialect =
<!--required for checklist -->
|            abc = 
|           cat1 = 
|           cat2 = 
|           cat3 = 
|      cat_check = 
|         status = 
|    underlinked = 
|        cleanup = 
|             by = 
<!--required for Approved template-->
|       approved =
|       A editor = 
|      A editor2 = 
|      A editor3 =
<!--required for ToApprove template-->
|    article url =
|    subpage url = 
|        cluster =
|            now =
|     ToA editor = 
|    ToA editor2 =
|    ToA editor3 =
|           date =
}}<noinclude>
{{subpages2}}
</noinclude>

3) In addition to the checklist parameters it is also important to complete the pagename parameter. A warning note will pop up on the navigation template if thisis not done.

4) Two other pages need to be created to complete the new cluster. An approval subpage and a Unused subpages subpage. A {{subpages2}} tempalte should be placed at the top of both these pages. Neither of these pages are as important as the metadata template page and they could be created at a later date.
