Closing a featured media 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 (FeaturedMediaBot) 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 media candidates/candidate list click on the title/link of the candidate media, then [edit].
Add the result of the voting at the bottom (on a new line with a space first)
(for example see Commons:Featured media candidates/File:Tverskaya Street in Moscow, Russia (May 1896).webm). See also {{FMC-results-reviewed}}.
{{FMC-results-reviewed|support=x|oppose=x|neutral=x|featured=("yes" or "no")|gallery=xxx (leave blank if "featured=no")|sig=~~~~}} - Also edit the title of the candidate media template and add after the media tag
featured or not featured
For example:
=== [[:File:example.ext]] ===
becomes
=== [[:File:example.ext]], featured === - Save your edit.
- If it is featured:
- Add the media to the list of the four most recently featured media of an appropriate category of Commons:Featured media, list as the first one and delete the last one, so that the number is four again.
- Also add the media to one of the Featured media galleries corresponding to the list you just added it to.
- Add the template {{FM_promoted|featured=1}} to the media description page.
- If it was an alternative media, use the subpage/com-nom parameter: For example, if File:Foo.webm was promoted at Commons:Featured media candidates/File:Bar.webm, use {{FM_promoted|featured=1|com-nom=Bar.webm}}
- If the media is already featured on another wikipedia, just ignore that and add the template.
- Add == FM promotion ==
{{FMpromotion|File:example.ext}} to the Talk Page of the nominator AND {{FMpromotedUploader|File:example.ext}} to the talk page of uploader.
- As the last step (whether the media is featured or not; including {{FMX}}ed, {{FMD}}ed and withdrawn nominations), open Commons:Featured media candidates/candidate list, click on [edit], and find the transclusion of the nomination you've just finished closing.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 media candidates/File:example.ext}}
Copy it to the bottom of Commons:Featured media candidates/Log/May 2024), save that page, and remove it from the candidate list.
Archiving a withdrawn nomination[edit]
- In Commons:Featured media candidates/candidate list click on the title/link of the candidate media , then [edit].
In the purpose that the FMCBot will not mark withdrawn nominations with a "to be reviewed" template and put them in Category:Featured media candidates awaiting closure review just like if they were on the usual list, put the following "no" template:
{{FMC-results-reviewed|support=X|oppose=X|neutral=X|featured=no|gallery=|sig=--~~~~}} - Also edit the title of the candidate media template and add after the media tag
not featured
For example:
=== [[:File:example.ext]] ===
becomes
=== [[:File:example.ext]], not featured === - Save your edit.
- Open Commons:Featured media candidates/candidate list, click on [edit], and find the transclusion of the nomination. It will be of the form:
{{Commons:Featured media candidates/File:example.ext}}
Copy it to the bottom of Commons:Featured media candidates/Log/May 2024), save that page, and remove it from the candidate list.
