    or for the Talk Page of a Dab article:

    {{Notice|<!-- adapted from text of Template:uw-dab -->Please note that disambiguation pages are not articles; rather, they are meant to help readers find a specific article quickly and easily. From the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation dos and don'ts|disambiguation dos and don'ts]], you should:
    *Be familiar with the [[WP:Disambiguation|guidelines]] and [[WP:MOSDAB|style]]
    *Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
    *Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
    *Use exactly one navigable link ("[[WP:BLUELINK|blue link]]") in each entry
    **Only add a "[[WP:RED|<span style="background: white; color: #ba0000">red link</span>]]" if used in an article, and include the "blue link" to that article
    *Do not [[WP:PIPE|pipe]] links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
    *Do not insert [[WP:EL|external links]] or [[WP:REF|references]]
    Thank you.<!-- adapted from text of Template:uw-dab -->}}

    GA Review Prep

    edit
    GA toolbox
    Reviewing

    Things to do:

    • Fix all problems indicated by template boxes, inline tags, & on the Talk page.
    • Fix any problems revealed by running the GA & FA tools.
    • Look at WP:Start-Class & WP:C-Class. Fix those gaps.
    • Make sure it meets all of the WP:BCLASS criteria. An article should be at B-class, before asking for a GA Review. Template:B-class review is an overview.
    • Consider adding an Infobox.
    • Fix the formatting, so it works well on very wide & very narrow windows.
    • Look at the Mobile view of the article, & resolve any issues it uncovers.
    • Convert all the citations to a consistent citation style. Either the {{Cite or {{sfn templates.
    • Verify all citations. Fix dead links. Fill in all useful fields on the citation templates. E.g quote, ISBN & ISSN.
    • To prevent future link rot, Archive each citation, & add the parameters
      |archiveurl= |archivedate= |deadurl=yes & usually !quote= to each citation template.
    • Add more citations.
    • Finally, work through both the WP:Good_articles & WP:Featured_articles, as well as their sub-articles, & fix shortcomings. That is, try doing the review yourself, & resolve the shortcomings.

    MIT citation sources
