Administrator instructions forMove review:

Move reviewdiscussions typically are closed after 7 days of discussion. Due to the nature of these discussions, the standards followed in move review discussions differ from those of other discussions. Closers must be very familiar with the standards and outcomes used in the move review process.

To archive a move review discussion:

====[[Header]]==== ← Replace with{{subst:move review top|[[Header]]|RESULT}}
Header(edit|talk|history|protect|delete|links|watch|logs|views) ← If this is missing from the discussion it should be included for archiving.
DISCUSSION ← Body of the discussion stays unchanged
{{subst:move review bottom}} ← Add bottom template
  • Section headers,====[[Header(closed)]]====,should remain until the monthly log is archived.
  • The default forRESULTis "Decision endorsed".
  • Both{{move review top}}and{{move review bottom}}need to be substituted for the time stamp to work properly. The signatureis includedin this template, so you don't need to add one.
  • The wikilink brackets [[ ]] around the header should remain so the current status of the article is easily visible (they're not part of the template since not all the text in the headers is always wikilinked, e.g. ====[[Header]] and related articles====.
  • When the monthly log is closed, the headers should be removed by hand for archiving.
  • When changing a decision, make sure to link to the move review discussion in your log.
