Usage

{{Signpost draft
 |title              = Title of the piece
 |blurb              = Short description of the piece
 |Ready-for-copyedit = Yes/No
 |Copyedit-done      = Yes/No
 |Final-approval     = Yes/No <!--To be used by EiC only -->
}}

Creates the following (with last three parameters set to no)

Extra parameters

On user pages, for those who like to keep a personal record of their own submissions, two extra parameter are supported. Technically they work in other namespaces too, but are unlikely to be of any use there.

  • |status= – Set to accepted, declined, published, rejected, submitted.
  • |location= – The final location in which the draft has been published. For example, |location=2019-03-31/In focus will link to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2019-03-31/In focus.

Setting |status= to accepted, declined, published, and rejected will suppress the checklist, newsroom links and deadlines from displaying.

For example

{{Signpost draft
 |title              = Title of the piece
 |blurb              = Short description of the piece
 |Ready-for-copyedit = Yes/No
 |Copy-edit-done     = Yes/No
 |Final-approval     = Yes/No <!--This parameter should only be used by EiC -->
 |status             = Published
 |location           = 2019-03-31/Humour
}}
