CZ:Approval Process/Draft

3.) Create the Approved Article and the Draft pages:

Go back to the "Main Article" by clicking on the link to it at the top left of the page.

Check to see if the article includes the WP content disclaimer at the bottom of the page. If it does, then you need to remember to check the WP content box once the page is moved.

Click on the "Move" tab of the Approved article. When asked for the new name, type the name of the article, along with the extension "/Draft". If the article name is "XYZ" then the draft-page name is "XYZ/Draft". Make sure the "Move Talk page" checkbox is checked. Make sure the "Move all subpages" checkbox is NOT checked. These steps will move the Article, the Talk page, and their histories to the new Draft article space, but leave the subpages attached to the article space.

Click on the Move page button.

Go to the article's Approval sub-page (click the "A" link on the metadata page, a little round button near the top right)

Click the link that begins with the words "the version dated" and includes a date. This will take you to the version of the article which is to be approved.

Click on the edit tab. You may see a warning stating "WARNING: You are editing an out-of-date revision of this page. If you save it, any changes made since this revision will be lost." Ignore this warning. Select and copy the entire contents.

Paste the contents of the previous page into the XYZ page by following the steps below:


 * A.) Go back one page, using the Esc. button (or the return arrow)


 * B.) Click on the <XYZ link near the top left of the page in small fonts


 * C.) Click on the XYZ redirect link just below the <XYZ link


 * D.) Click on Edit


 * E.) Delete the redirect text at the top,


 * F.) Then Paste the contents of the version to be approved into this page.
