This template is used to place a message on the talk page for a recipient of the Editor of the Week award. It must be substituted, so that the template can be changed in future without worrying about breaking all existing uses.

Note the briefreason parameter is used to complete the following sentence in the notification message:

URLs in the nominationtext parameter will not be displayed correctly. To include diffs in the nomination text, use the ((diff)) template. For example, replace

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=National_Hockey_League&diff=525736695&oldid=525707706

((diff|National_Hockey_League|525736695|525707706))

 | nominationtext = I nominate Easter Bunny for his persistent efforts in tidying up articles. Often editors will hurriedly introduce new information to an article, without placing a full citation, or with spelling and grammatical errors. Over the past four months, Easter Bunny has been fixing the edits of others, doing the tedious work of completing the citation information, copy editing the prose to resolve errors and to align it with Wikipedia's Manual of Style, and fixing links to other articles. Here are some examples: ((diff|National Hockey League|529863035|529015451)) ((diff|National Hockey League|525736695|525707706)) In addition, Easter Bunny has a great positive attitude in discussions with other editors: he always finds the most promising aspects of the comments of others, and follows up on them in trying to build a genuine consensus. Without willing editors to perform cleanup tasks, Wikipedia could not sustain its level of participation from one-time editors who just want to get in and out with their edits as soon as possible. Easter Bunny is a great example of a Wikipedia editor who improves the community through his excellent work!
