Closing a featured sound promotion request
[edit]The bot
[edit]Note that the description below is for manual closure, this is mostly not needed anymore as there exists a bot (FSCBot) that counts the votes and handles the process below. However after the bot has counted the votes a manual review step is used to make sure the count is correct before the bot again picks up the work.
Manual procedure
[edit]Any experienced user may close requests.
- In Commons:Featured sound candidates/candidate list click on the title/link of the candidate sound, then [edit].
Add the result of the voting at the bottom (on a new line with a space first)
(for example see Commons:Featured sound candidates/File:NEFFEX - Torn Apart (Copyright Free).webm). See also {{FSC-results-reviewed}}.
{{FSC-results-reviewed|support=x|oppose=x|neutral=x|featured=("yes" or "no")|category=xxx (leave blank if "featured=no")|sig=~~~~}} - Also edit the title of the candidate sound template and add after the sound tag
featured or not featured
For example:
=== [[:File:XXXXX.ogg]] ===
becomes
=== [[:File:XXXXX.ogg]], featured === - Save your edit.
- If it is featured:
- Add the sound to the list of the four most recently featured sounds of an appropriate category of Commons:Featured sounds, list as the first one and delete the last one, so that the number is four again.
- Add the template {{FS promoted}} to the sound description page.
- If it was an alternative sound, use the subpage/com-nom parameter: For example, if File:Foo.ogg was promoted at Commons:Featured sound candidates/File:Bar.ogg, use {{FS promoted|com-nom=Bar.ogg}}
- Add the sound to the chronological list of featured sounds. Put it in the gallery using this format: File:xxxxx.ogg|# - '''Headline'''<br>created by [[User:xxxxx|xxxxx]], uploaded by [[User:xxxxx|xxxxx]], nominated by [[User:xxxxx|xxxxx]]
- The # should be replaced by 1 for the first sound nominated that month, and counts up after that. Have a look at the other noms on that page for examples.
- You may simplify this if multiple things were done by the same user. E.g.: File:xxxxx.ogg|# - '''Headline'''<br>created, uploaded, and nominated by [[User:xxxxx|xxxxx]]
- Add == FS promotion ==
{{FSpromotion|File:XXXXX.ogg}} to the Talk Page of the nominator.
- As the last step (whether the sound is featured or not; including {{FSX}}ed, {{FSD}}ed and withdrawn nominations), open Commons:Featured sound candidates/candidate list, click on [edit], and find the transclusion of the nomination you've just finished closing. It will be of the form:
{{Commons:Featured sound candidates/File:XXXXX.ogg}}
Copy it to the bottom of Commons:Featured sound candidates/Log/October 2024), save that page, and remove it from the candidate list.
Archiving a withdrawn nomination
[edit]- In Commons:Featured sound candidates/candidate list click on the title/link of the candidate sound, then [edit].
In the purpose that the FSCbot will not mark withdrawn nominations with a "to be reviewed" template and put them in Category:Featured sound candidates awaiting closure review just like if they were on the usual list, put the following "no" template:
{{FSC-results-reviewed|support=X|oppose=X|neutral=X|featured=no|category=|sig=--~~~~}} - Also edit the title of the candidate sound template and add after the sound tag
not featured
For example:
=== [[:File:XXXXX.ogg]] ===
becomes
=== [[:File:XXXXX.ogg]], not featured === - Save your edit.
- Open Commons:Featured sound candidates/candidate list, click on [edit], and find the transclusion of the nomination. It will be of the form:
{{Commons:Featured sound candidates/File:XXXXX.ogg}}
Copy it to the bottom of Commons:Featured sound candidates/Log/October 2024), save that page, and remove it from the candidate list.
