Appearance
When the 1st of the month rolls around, it's time to update our MCB collaboration!
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do so:
- Identify nomination with greatest support (in case of a tie, choose the nominated article that has been listed longer).
- Remove the winning nomination from Wikipedia:WikiProject Molecular and Cellular Biology/Collaboration of the Month and add it to Wikipedia:WikiProject Molecular and Cellular Biology/Collaboration of the Month/History, inserting the relevant information (article rating & OldID hyperlink of the last edit before promotion).
- Add an "after" hyperlink to the previous CotM & update the article rating if it has changed.
- Edit the talk page of the previous CotM from {{MCBcur}} to {{MCBprev}} (inserting the month of the collaboration as such: {{MCBprev|month=month year}}.
- Edit the current CotM talk page from {{MCBnom}} to {{MCBcur}}.
- Edit Template:Current MCB COTM to reflect newest CotM & place most recent in the "last month" slot.
- Finally, edit Template:Wikiproject MCB, replacing the link to the previous article with the current CotM. ← Template:Wikiproject MCB is now fully protected, so this step must be performed by an admin.
Huzzah! You have finished!
Simple, right?
If you've got a little extra time...
