[edit] GimmeBot steps

Samples of GimmeBot steps for archive/promote FACs and Keep/Remove FARs

Event	Promote FAC	Archive FAC	Keep FAR	Remove FAR	Notes
1. Tag FAC/FAR closed	promoted date {{subst:Fa top\| result= '''promoted''' (date)}} {{subst:Fa bottom}}	not promoted date {{subst:Fa top\| result= '''not promoted''' (date)}} {{subst:Fa bottom}}	kept date {{subst:FAR top\| result= '''kept''' (date)}} {{subst:FAR bottom}}	removed date {{subst:FAR top\| result= '''removed''' (date)}} {{subst:FAR bottom}}	Use date Raul/Marskell/Joel moved to archive/log to tag the top and bottom of the closed FAC or FAR
2. Move FAC page to /archivex		next open archive		next open archive	Move the FAC to archive, choosing the next archivex where x is open
3. Clear FAC redirect		previous FAC		previous FAC	Replace the redirect with heading and previous FAC to ready it for future nominations. Be sure to enter the exact text, "previous FAC", because other scripts look for that text.
4. Update FAC in archives		update archive		update log	Update monthly FAC archive, either featured [1] or archived[2] If it's an older FAC, use "What links here" to locate the monthly archive where it is filed.
5. Move FAR page to /archivex			next open archive	next open archive	Move the FAR to archive, choosing the next archivex where x is open
6. Clear FAR redirect			previous FAR	previous FAR	Replace the redirect with heading and previous FAR to ready it for future nominations
7. Update FAR in archive			update FAR arch	update FAR arch	Update the FAR archives; both Kept and Removed are at [3]
8. Remove star				remove star	Remove {{featured article}} from article
9. Update ArticleHistory	remove {{FAC}} template, update AH, change status to FA	remove {{FAC}} template, update AH, determine status	remove {{FAR}} template, update AH, status unchanged	remove {{FAR}} template, update AH, change status to FFA	This has to be done on all, incorporating DYKs, peer reviews, GAs, and FAC/FAR, as well as updating older nominations that were archived
10. Update Assessments	FA class, remove FAOL templates	no change	no change	B class	Upgrade Wikiproject assessments on promotions to FA, downgrade demotions to B

[edit] Withdrawn by nominator FACs

I've asked User:Roger Davies, User:Elcobbola and User:Karanacs to help with withdrawn FACs. There are two different cases:

FAC withdrawn by nominator with Opposes, to be recorded in articlehistory

Make sure there's a note on the FAC, linking to the request to withdraw from the nominator
Remove transcluded fac page from WP:FAC
Move the transcluded fac page to the top of the correct monthly archive file, with an edit summary saying withdrawn (for my future stats, distinguish from a fail). Moving it to the monthly archive file will trigger GimmeBot to do the rest.
Make sure the {{fac}} template is still on the article talk page, so the bot won't stall.
Remind the nominator not to remove the fac template, with a link to WP:FAC/ar.

Premature FAC withdrawn with no opposes, or no opposes of substance (this is why judgment of fac regulars is required. It's a judgment call as to whether the FAC should be recorded into articlehistory.) Complete sample

Remove transcluded fac page from WP:FAC [4] Do NOT move to archive file, as it doesn't need to be botified.
Open the FAC page and remove the FAC tools.
Move the FAC page to the next open N, /archiveN , lowercase a.[5] GimmeBot looks for the next open N on its next archive, so it doesn't care if a previous number is used but not in history.
Re-open the original FAC file,[6] to (a) remove the redirect, (b) prep it ready for next submission by (i) adding the tools and (ii) page header ===[[Article name]]=== and (c) link to previous FAC withdrawn (no uppercase p all uppercase FAC, this is for some other scripts)
Go to the article talk page. (a) Remove the {{fac}} template from the article talk page, (b) leave a comment on the talk page in a new section noting that the fac was withdrawn, with a link to the archive file.
If necessary, notify the nominator (sample message from Roger Davies below):

[edit] FAC withdrawn

I appreciate you're acting in good faith but it's best if featured articles are nominated by people who have worked closely on them. This way they can give reasoned replies to reviewers and be familiar with the sources to make any suggested improvements. Someone who hasn't worked on the article can't provide this input, so the FAC rumbles on until the opposes become so overwhelming that the article is failed, taking a lot of reviewers' time. While the xxxx article is reasonable, it is not FAC quality as is evidenced by the lukewarm reception, so I have archived it. I suggest you first work an article up through peer review and good article to prepare for WP:FAC.

[edit] How to

Struck, all resolved. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:56, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

I am traveling and have limited and slow internet access. If you leave a message here, please don't expect a prompt response.

A reminder about gratitude: Wikipedia sucks.

[edit] == Articlehistory errors on GA passes ==

The {{t1|articlehistory}} was built incorrectly on the GA pass for this article, causing it to appear in the articlehistory error category. Rather than stepping back through the diffs to try to reconstruct the GA pass and correct a GA error, I removed the incorrect articlehistory. Please contact the editor who passed the GA and ask him or her to read the instructions at [[Template:Articlehistory]], or alternately, simply use the {{t1|GA}} template and wait for the bot to build the history correctly. ~~~~

[edit] Test

	Nice job on "Miss Ima"!
	To all of the excellent editors who were part of the Karanacs-led collaboration to bring Ima Hogg to featured status, it was a pleasure working with you on such a fine article about a great lady. Thank you so much for your contribution to this fun collaboration. Best regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 03:20, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
