Template:Pre-review/doc

This template can be used in two ways:


 * 1) Authors can use the template to request a pre-review.
 * 2) Pre-reviewers can use the template to communicate an evaluation of an article before it is reviewed.

Pre-reviewed articles can help both authors and reviewers successfully publish articles.

Usage
To request that a pre-review be performed on an article, place  at the top of the article.

To pre-review an article, perform any desired edits to the article to help improve it as the first part of your pre-review. Explain all edits in the edit summary and link to existing policy when appropriate (local links work in edit summaries).

Place this template in a new section titled "Pre-review" on the talk page of the article you have pre-reviewed. Provide values for each parameter (see template data below).

The template will format the findings of the pre-review in a consistent format that is similar to a formal review.

If a request was made for a pre-review by adding the template to the article (not the Talk page), remove it from the article once you complete the pre-review.

Examples
Placing  at the top of an article page will render the following:

Placing the following code on a talk page:
