 | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use ((subst:GOCE award))). |
Coordinators of the Guild of Copy Editors (GOCE) use this template to distribute barnstars and awards to participants in Backlog elimination drives and Blitzes run by the Guild of Copy Editors.
To give out stars, visit the editor's talk page, create a new section with a title like "September 2016 GOCE drive awards", and then paste in appropriate versions of this template. It must always be substituted (see the copy-and-paste examples below); if it is transcluded instead, links in the template will eventually break.
The awardee's username, the month of the Drive or Blitz, and the adding editor's signature are added automatically.
Parameters[edit]
The tables below shows the template's parameters and their possible values.
The |award= parameter determines which of three kinds of barnstar is given out: a Blitz participation barnstar, a Drive participation barnstar, or a Drive leaderboard barnstar.
Participation barnstars[edit]
| Parameters | Values | Notes |
|---|---|---|
|award= |
participation or blitz |
Participation barnstar for a drive or a blitz. Use with |barnstar=.
|
|barnstar= |
minor, modest, working, cleanup, tireless, league, guild, diligence, superior, excellent |
See the Drive and Blitz award charts for word count levels. |
Leaderboard barnstars (for Drives only)[edit]
| Parameters | Values | Notes |
|---|---|---|
|award= |
articles, old, 5k, words, longest |
Leaderboard category for drive or a blitz. Requires |place= and |number=.
|
|place= |
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 |
First through fifth place in the category. First place generates a gold leaderboard star; all others generate a silver star. Use a single digit only. |
|number= |
Examples: 1, three, 14,562 |
Any number, or text for small numbers if WP:MOS is your thing. "1" or "one" generates the singular "article" instead of "articles". Commas will be added automatically to numbers in the thousands. |
The coveted 10K star[edit]
Any editor who copy-edits an article that is 10,000 words or longer during a blitz, or an article that is 10,000 words or longer during a drive (and that article does not make it to the leaderboard in the "longest article" category) is entitled to a 10K star.
| Parameters | Values | Notes |
|---|---|---|
|award= |
10k |
10K star. Do not use any other parameters |
Examples[edit]
Copy and paste these examples, then modify them as needed. To give multiple awards to a single editor for a single drive, copy and modify multiple examples, placing each one on its own line, with no vertical space between lines. For Drives, put the "participation" barnstar at the top.
Drive participation awards[edit]
((subst:GOCE award|award=participation|barnstar=minor)) ((subst:GOCE award|award=participation|barnstar=modest)) ((subst:GOCE award|award=participation|barnstar=working)) ((subst:GOCE award|award=participation|barnstar=cleanup)) ((subst:GOCE award|award=participation|barnstar=tireless)) ((subst:GOCE award|award=participation|barnstar=league)) ((subst:GOCE award|award=participation|barnstar=modern)) ((subst:GOCE award|award=participation|barnstar=diligence)) ((subst:GOCE award|award=participation|barnstar=superior)) ((subst:GOCE award|award=participation|barnstar=excellent))
Drive leaderboard awards[edit]
Modify |place= and |number= to match the awardee's leaderboard position and article or word count.
((subst:GOCE award|award=articles|place=2|number=32)) ((subst:GOCE award|award=words|place=1|number=5002800)) ((subst:GOCE award|award=5k|place=5|number=1)) ((subst:GOCE award|award=old|place=1|number=two)) ((subst:GOCE award|award=longest|place=3|number=50800))
Blitz participation awards[edit]
((subst:GOCE award|award=blitz|barnstar=minor)) ((subst:GOCE award|award=blitz|barnstar=modest)) ((subst:GOCE award|award=blitz|barnstar=working)) ((subst:GOCE award|award=blitz|barnstar=cleanup)) ((subst:GOCE award|award=blitz|barnstar=tireless)) ((subst:GOCE award|award=blitz|barnstar=league)) ((subst:GOCE award|award=blitz|barnstar=modern)) ((subst:GOCE award|award=blitz|barnstar=diligence)) ((subst:GOCE award|award=blitz|barnstar=superior)) ((subst:GOCE award|award=blitz|barnstar=excellent))
Note: The blitz templates are designed to substitute the current month. If you are awarding blitz barnstars in the month following the blitz month, you'll have to manually change the month after saving the initial template substitution. Don't procrastinate!
10K award[edit]
((subst:GOCE award|award=10k))
