Refresh page

This is the proposed new CCOTW system. We have:

User:Mindmatrix/alpha, this page, which will eventually live at Wikipedia:Canada collaboration
User:Mindmatrix/beta, the template used for nominations
User:Mindmatrix/gamma etc., the sample nominations; these double as article pages for testing purposes

And now, for something not entirely different:

How to nominate an article

To nominate an article for the Canada collaboration, follow this two step process:

I.

Add entry to list.

Edit this article, and append the following to the end of the list:

{{User:Mindmatrix/Article}}

Be sure to replace Article with the title of the article you are nominating. Please do not mark the edit as minor. Save the page. You should now see a link to the nomination page in the text; follow it.

For example, this is needed to add gamma to the list of nominations:

{{User:Mindmatrix/gamma}}

II.

Create the nomination.

Add this text to the new page:

{{subst:User:Mindmatrix/beta | pg=Article | reason=Reason for the nomination.| nom=~~~~}}

Put the page's name in place of "Article" and include your reason after reason=; nothing else should change. For example, the entry to nominate gamma would be:

{{subst:User:Mindmatrix/beta | pg=gamma | reason=Badger. Badger. Badger.| nom=~~~~}}

If the page was not originally empty, the above text should go at the end. Check the "Watch this page" box if you would like to follow the voting process in your watchlist. Save the page.

This should generate: "Test".

Links

The former link contains the year; the latter two do not. Error is is template default year handling.
