Checks

edit
  • make sure there isn't already an open GAR (check for GAR/link template on talk page)
    • log any found. share log after the run.
  • make sure the article is still a GA (check for Good article template on article page, and |status=GA on talk page)
    • log any found. share log after the run.

GAR opening steps

edit
  • create a pro forma GAR page using the following wikicode. Will do individual reassessments, not community reassessments, per this discussion. Reason: trying not to spam the GAR archive pages.
  • place GAR/link template? will involve 2 edits to talk page instead of 1, but is simpler from a coding perspective (won't need to modify GARCloser code as much)
  • no need to notify nominator talk page (Doug Coldwell), is blocked and would just spam his talk page
  • no need to notify reviewer talk pages, this was already done via WP:MMS
  • no need to transclude the GAR on the article talk page, per this discussion

GAR closing steps

edit
  • run the GARCloser script as normal
