Template:GAN/list/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:GAN/list.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is preloaded into a new GA review to provide step-by-step instructions (as hidden text), which can be found at {{GAN/instructions}}. It can be configured to resemble {{GAList}}, {{GAList2}}, {{GATable}} or {{GAProgress}}; to remove the instructions; or to delete itself.

Usage[edit]

{{subst:GAN/list |overcom= |1a= |1acom= |1b= |1bcom= |2a= |2acom= |2b= |2bcom= |2c= |2ccom= |2d= |2dcom= |3a= |3acom= |3b= |3bcom= |4= |4com= |5= |5com= |6a= |6acom= |6b= |6bcom= |7= |7com= |instructions= |mode=}}

mode

See below for examples. Can be set to:

compact or GAList to make the template resemble {{GAList}}
expanded or GAList2 to make it resemble {{GAList2}}
table or GATable to make it resemble {{GATable}}
progress or GAProgress to make it resemble {{GAProgress}}
none or delete to delete the template
empty or any other value to get the default output

instructions: Set to yes to enable hidden text with instructions. Any other value disables the instructions.

Parameters ending in -com: For comments on the individual GA criteria, with |overcom= for opening remarks and |7com= for concluding remarks.

All others

Status indicators that take one of these values:

y, yes, pass, good, ok, k, +, aye all produce a pass symbol:
n, no, fail, bad, nk, -, nay all produce a fail symbol:
?, ??, ???, dunno, question, huh all produce a question symbol:
wtf produces Wikipedia's "I am out of my comfort zone" symbol:
hold and on hold produce the on hold symbol:
neu, neutral and und produce the neutral symbol:
blank or no input produces the unassessed symbol

In vertical format:

{{subst:GAN/list 
| overcom = 
| 1a = 
| 1acom = 
| 1b = 
| 1bcom = 
| 2a = 
| 2acom = 
| 2b = 
| 2bcom = 
| 2c = 
| 2ccom = 
| 2d = 
| 2dcom = 
| 3a =
