Template documentation

This documentation is transcluded from Template:History/doc. (edit | history)

This template must be used in conjunction with {{HistoryEntry}} and {{HistoryCurrent}}. Usage of these three templates together is as follows:

{{History}}
{{HistoryEntry
| date =
| oldid =
| process =
| result =
}}
{{HistoryCurrent
|status=
}}

If there is more than one entry in need of being added, the "HistoryEntry" section, ie

{{HistoryEntry
| date =
| oldid =
| process =
| result =
}}

should be copied, and pasted before the {{HistoryCurrent line.

The "date" field should list the date that the event first took place, and the "oldid" field should be the number identifying the article at that point in time. This number can be found by clicking the "history" tab on an article, and clicking on an old revision. The number should be present in the URL of this page, preceded by "&oldid=".

"result" should be used only when needed, and should consist only have words such as "Success", "Failure" and "Keep" entered into it.

Possible parameters for "process" and "status" are:

FA, for Featured article
FFA, for Former featured article
FFA/GA, for Former featured article which is now a Good article
FFAC, for Failed featured article candidate
