Template:Essay review
This template is for formally reviewing essays.
Usage edit
The template is intended to be used in conjunction with a formal review, and summarises the review findings. It should be added to the top of the page being reviewed, and will appear on the right side of the page when complete. The basic format is:
{{Essay review
| Title =
| Author =
| Wordcount =
| Copyright =
| Referencing =
| Structure =
| Overall rating =
| Closing comments =
}}
Parameters edit

- Wordcount: The number of words in the article. If left blank, a question mark icon will be displayed.
- Copyright: Whether or not the essay met the copyright requirements. Acceptable values are good, bad, true, false, passed or failed.

Optionally, a value outside of that range can be added, which will then be displayed as text.
- Referencing: Whether or not the essay met the referencing requirements. Acceptable values are good, bad, true, false, passed or failed.
