Peer Review[edit]

@Dionysius Miller is there any way to have the template automatically have a sentence like "Click here to request a peer review from the Appalachia Peer Review team." that changes to " This page is awaiting peer review from the Appalachia Peer Review team." once clicked?

I am not entirely sold on this text, but I think something like this would make people actually use it. Brooklaika (talk) 17:37, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Funny enough I'm actually actively working on just that! Dionysius Miller^talk 18:44, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can we please work in the sandbox instead of adding untested code to the live version? I have reverted recent changes because it bloated the code and was not efficient. If you need help with coding, then please ask — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:58, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can work in the sandbox going forward, but I'm unsure how to accomplish what the goal is without if statements Dionysius Miller^talk 17:00, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If statements are fine, but surely not necessary to enclose the entire template in them — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 17:02, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The issue I've run into is that I'm trying to create a dynamic task force for peer review but the banner template seems to have limitations on that. My workaround you saw was to make ordered versions of the template that dynamically change the task force displayed. It's the brute force way I'll admit, though I was unsuccessful at finding the smart way to do this. Dionysius Miller^talk 17:06, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you not use the existing code for the peer review note? If you want it to behave differently, then please explain the differences and I'll try and code it for you — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 17:12, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My only issue with the existing note is that I don't know how to make the template able to handle review requested, nominator, and date. Then review underway, review name, and date (keeping the requested area), then place the review on hold, then pass or fail (showing reviewer and debate still). And through all of that have a list of past reviews below if they happened. The documentation I wrote for it might explain what I mean functionally better.
