CZ:Approval Process

Overview

Here, in broad strokes, is how the approval process goes. An editor decides than article is ready to approve, or nearly so. If the editor has worked on it him/herself, he or she asks another editor to approve it; or, if there are several editors all doing significant work on the article, then at least three of them can agree to approve it. So then (one of) the approving editor(s) places a {{ToApprove}} template on the article's talk page. Then, after some designated amount of time, a sysop (a person with "sysop" administrative rights on the wiki) then freezes the approved version of the article on the main article page. At the same time, work on the article continues on a "Draft" page easily accessible from the main article page. New versions, found on that "Draft" can then be nominated to replace the approved version, and the procedure repeats.
