How to help edit
Before joining this drive and start to review articles, please make sure you have read this page and have no questions. To join this drive, please add your name under to the "Participants" section below after you have reviewed at least one article. All reviews must be completed after 00:00 (UTC) on June 1st, 2024 and before 00:00 (UTC) on July 1st, 2024. Reviews started outside of those parameters do not count.
To find an article to review for creation, go to this page. If you see that an article in the submission page that has previously been declined by another reviewer, you may still review the article for a point.
Here are some articles that can help you with reviewing articles:
In order to assist with drives Excirial (talk · contribs) wrote a program - AFCBuddy - that can generate the mandatory list of diffs for a user. It is generally much simpler to use AFCBuddy.
Signup edit
Instructions for registering for the backlog drive, whether or not you're using AFCBuddy:
| I. | Create the subpage that will be used to record your reviews.
Instructions for logging WITHOUT AFCBuddy For reviews during the drive to count as a "point", you must log each and every article that you have reviewed below. To log articles, use the following template and include it below the "Totals" section. Please note that when inserting the URL and the article name, remember to leave a space between the two. Because submissions can be reviewed more than once, when you have completed a review, please provide a link to the "oldid" of the accept or decline edit you made. To find the "oldid" of an article, go to the article/submission's history page (the tab can be found to the right of the "edit" tab). Once there, click on the edit that you made when you passed or failed the article. Copy the URL and place it under your name using this template: {{Fiv col|cols=2}}
# [URL_TO_DIFF name_of_submission]
# [URL_TO_DIFF name_of_submission]
# [URL_TO_DIFF name_of_submission]
{{Div col end}}
Alternatively, you can use the template {{Fiff}} to show the links. |

Reviewing Reviews edit
To ensure quality remains priority, reviews of reviews will be conducted at random times. If a review is found to be not done properly or done poorly, the review will be deducted 2 points. Any user may review other user's reviews if they wish.
Rereviews are conducted by placing {{AFCDriveQC}} on the backlog drive page of a user. These pages have titles which begin with "Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Current month/Username" and are listed in the Totals section. The review template is placed after the link to the diff which is being reviewed. Right before you save a review, the diff page will look like this:
{{Div col|cols=2}}
# (Declined) {{diff|GenericDraft|611824306|prev|GenericDraft}} {{AFCDriveQC|{{SUBST:REVISIONUSER}}|P|No notability}}
# (Declined) {{diff|Example.com|611800056|prev|Example.com}} {{AFCDriveQC|{{SUBST:REVISIONUSER}}|P}}
# (Declined) {{diff|Draft:The Cabal|632823321|prev|Draft:The Cabal}} {{AFCDriveQC|{{SUBST:REVISIONUSER}}|F|Missed copyvio}}
A bot will come by and move the reviews to the "Checked reviews" section.
If you pass a review, use: {{AFCDriveQC|{{SUBST:REVISIONUSER}}|P|<OptionalCommentary>}}
If you fail a review, use: {{AFCDriveQC|{{SUBST:REVISIONUSER}}|F|<OptionalCommentary>}}
Any user who reviews at least 25 reviews from any other user participating in the drive will receive the Teamwork Barnstar. Please note that if there are a lack of reviewers, distribution of awards at the end of the drive will be delayed until most of the reviews are reviewed.
If a review is failed a third user shall review the same article and either pass or fail the article. If both users fail the review the aforementioned two points will be deducted from the users score. If the secondary reviewer passes the article no points will be deducted.
