Instructions

For each week, fill out the template to add a row to the table.

• |YYYY= is the year
• |WW= is the week number
• The old revision is the last version of the article before {{TAFI}} was added – can be found by browsing in the article's history tab for an edit summary of "Adding Today's articles for improvement tag" or similar, and the clicking on the time-date stamp of the previous edit. This will open up the old version of the article.
  • |oldid= is the old version's revision ID – the number in the URL that appears after &oldid= when the old version is open
  • |olddate= is the date of the old version – as listed in the history tab, or if the old version is open, the "last edited" date in the pink box at the top
  • |oldcass= is the quality class of the old version, assessed in accordance with WP:TAFIA (may be different to other wikiprojects) – should be in the {{Former TAFI}} banner on the article's talk page. If not, the old version needs to be assessed per WP:TAFIA, and the assessment / B-class checklist filled out in the {{Former TAFI}} template.
  • |prose_before= is the number of characters of prose in the old version of the article – counted using WP:Did you know/DYKcheck (or similar).
  • |size_before= is the size of the old version, in bytes, as listed in the history tab
• The new revision is the last version of the article before {{TAFI}} was removed – can be found by browsing in the article's history tab for an edit summary of "Rm {{TAFI}} - Week is over" or similar, and the clicking on the time-date stamp of the previous edit. This will open up the new version of the article (at the end of its week of improvements)
  • |newid= is the new version's revision ID – the number in the URL that appears after &oldid= when the new version is open
  • |newdate= is the date of the new version – as listed in the history tab, or if the new version is open, the "last edited" date in the pink box at the top
  • |newcass= is the quality class of the new version, assessed in accordance with WP:TAFIA (may be different to other wikiprojects) – should be in the {{Former TAFI}} banner on the article's talk page. If not, the new version needs to be assessed per WP:TAFIA, and the assessment / B-class checklist filled out in the {{Former TAFI}} template.
  • |prose_after= is the number of characters of prose in the new version of the article – counted using WP:Did you know/DYKcheck (or similar).
  • |size_after= is the size of the new version, in bytes, as listed in the history tab
• |edits= is the number of edits that occurred excluding the edits that added and removed the TAFI banner. The recommended method for this and the subsequent parameters is:
  1. Make sure all TAFI edits are visible in the history tab view – click on higher numbers 100, 250, 500 at the end of the line "(newest | oldest) View (newer 50 | older 50) (20 | 50 | 100 | 250 | 500)" above/below the list of edits if necessary.
  2. Copy the relevant rows – everything in between but excluding the edits that added and removed the TAFI banner
  3. Paste, as plain text, into a spreadsheet program such as MS Excel
  4. Look at the total number of rows – this is the number for |edits=
  5. Use the "Text to Columns" function to strip out everything but the editors' names/IP adresses
  6. Use the "Remove Duplicates" function to find the number of unique editors – this is the number for |editors=
  7. Count the number of IP adresses – this is the number for |IPs=
  8. Count the number of bots, which have usernames typically eding in "bot" (ie AnomieBOT) – this is the number for |bots=
• At the history tab, scan through for and count the number of edit summaries that explicitly identify the edit as a revert – i.e. includes the words "revert", "rvt" "undid", "restored revision", or similar. The number of these explicit reverts is the number for |reverts=

Note that the older rows were done as a simple wikitable, without the automation the above template supplies. Note also that each template should start on exactly the next line following the previous, ie
